if you have a business idea and are good at bullshitting you can become an entrepreneur and legally live in the Netherlands courtesy of the DAFT (Dutch American Friendship Treaty). then you'll become a Dutch person and have EU citizenship, so you'll just need to wait a couple years and then find a Brit who looks like you who is looking to escape, and trade identities with them.

Used to be you could trace back your ancestry and see if you might already unknowingly qualify for citizenship in an EU country, Germany for instance has very broad jus sanguinis rules. But presumably Brexit will be putting the kibosh on that route.

are you thinking of Italy? last I looked into it (which I admit was some time ago) Germany only offers citizenship to people with one or both German parents, not people who just has some German ancestry

British man with American wife here. It took something like eight years for my wife to get full UK residential rights (known as ILR or indefinite leave to remain). This is not even citizenship, just the right to reside and use the facilities.

um i hate to break it to you but i have flown to the UK as a tourist on multiple occasions and i used the hell out of the facilities within minutes of arrival

with some things its better to beg forgiveness than ask permission

Thanks for the laughs if nothing else, guys. I'm really gutted at how hopeless it seems, especially since my choice of field is what seems to be holding me back. Hopefully I can figure this out someday, but I'm not holding my breath...

you are an artist, a photographer. why are you restricting yourself to the legal solution instead of putting your creativity and skills to work?

for example: britain has politicians, politicians of all nations are idiots who frequently put themselves in compromising situations, and they tend to dislike being photographed when that happens. so all you need to do is figure out who's got the right power and influence to get your papers sorted for you, figure out what their vices are, and set them up in a nice a little photoshoot
