Where Is The Most Difficult Place On Earth To Gain Citizenship? by agaliboy: 4:56pm On May 14
Here are eight countries where it's most difficult to become citizen :

1- Vatican City
You can become a citizen if you are a cardinal living in the Vatican City or Rome, or if you live in Vatican City because you are an official worker of the Catholic Church.

2- Bhutan
You can apply for the citizenship after living in the country for 20 years & you have to meet a list of requirements which includes no record of speaking or acting against the king or country.

3- Qatar
If you have been a legal resident of Qatar for 25 years without leaving the country for more than two consecutive months, you can apply for the citizenship. Qatar only naturalizes about 50 foreigners a year.

4- Kuwait
After living in Kuwait for 20 years or 15 years for citizens of other Arab countries, you can apply for the citizenship. But you have to be muslim by birth or converted. If you are converted, you must have been practicing for five years & have to speak Arabic fluently.

5- Liechtenstein
If you want to become a citizen, you have to live in Liechtenstein for at least 30 years or if you are married to a Liechtenstein citizen & already lived in the country, then the time period is shortened to five years of marriage.

6- United Arab Emirates
If you want a citizenship of UAE, you must have legally resided in the country for 30 years. Arab citizens from Oman, Qatar & Bahrain can apply for citizenship after three years of residency. Arabs from other countries are eligible for citizenship after seven years of residency.

7- Switzerland
According to the new law of Switzerland, you must have to lived in the country for 10 years & have a working permit called a C permit. The C permit allows you to live & work in the country.

8- China
The law of China allows the foreigners to become citizen of the country if they have relatives who are Chinese national, have settled in China. If you don’t have Chinese relatives in a country, your chances of becoming a Chinese citizen are less.

Singapore*

It is tied to race. So, this means as a black person, it could be hard to be a naturalised citizen except one has contributed immensely (usually economically) to the country. There are black Singaporeans, but they became citizens during the 1990s. From 2011, it became harder, especially for non-ethnic Chinese. The farther your racial group historically has with the country, the less your chances of being a naturalised citizen.
