A lot of people are looking for second passports these days. The big question for many of these people is not whether or not they need a second passport but where exactly they will obtain their second citizenship.


Before we jump into the details, though, let’s clarify what “European” citizenship means.

Citizenship of the European Union (EU) is afforded to qualifying citizens of European Union member states. European Union citizens have the right to free movement, settlement and employment across the EU. EU citizens are also free to trade and transport goods, services and capital through EU borders, as in a national market, with no restrictions on capital movements or fees.

We will focus on European Union and EEA citizenship. While countries like Iceland, Norway and Switzerland are not part of the European Union, they are still part of the European Economic Area (EEA) and are almost universally considered to be part of western Europe.
