  1. hallo,

    your best option is to get in touch with the embassy of your country destination.

    pick it here.

  2. At least for Denmark, Sweden & Romania (being part of EU and therefore similar although not exactly the same policies), you cannot obtain citizenship unless you have a immediate family member holding one of these passports

    The only other route would be naturalisation after spending 5 or more years living in that country as a permanent resident.  To do this you have to have a visa which allows you to remain permanently in the country (e.g. study visas are granted on the acceptance that this is a temporary period only), and this is where you will find the biggest hurdle

    Basically immigration laws have tighted up generally over the last 5-10 years due to large influxes of immigrants and movements of people within the EU

    Therefore unless you hold an EU/EFTA passport it is very difficult.

    You will either need to be (a) self-employed and show evidence of a thiving business (b) a highly skilled migrant with skills/experience which are in demand in Europe (and usually already receiving a high salary in your domestic country) or (c) sponsored by a company - and this is only normally done in the case that they cannot fulfil the job from the pool of labour within the EU or that you have specialist knowledge/experience

    Also in principle you will need to speak the language of the country you work in (although there are exceptions to this if the company is an International one whose working language is e.g. English, but still you will need the language to live and definately to obtain citizenship)

    There are small differences but there generally the policies are very similar and restrictive for all EU countries, but I do not know about the non-EU ones such as Iceland

    The best thing to do in order to get accurate info including viability & time is to contact the embassy of the country you are interested in. They can provide you the official information (and often a lot of this is online e.g. for the UK and Netherlands it is anyway)
