Im very interested in this. Which countries are best for expats from a quality of life and ease of obtaining citizenship standpoint?

[philiphodgen]

You have to solve two problems -- your place of citizenship and your place of residence. Dominica and St. Kitts are the two places most people look to buy citizenship. There are other more expensive places too.

Residence - this is easier to arrange. If the country will give you a tourist visa you're in, at least temporarily.

Any places cheaper than St Kitts/Nevis ($400K)?

[philiphodgen]

Look at Dominica.

Scam artists have been known to exist in selling citizenship in Central America. Be wary. Don't try clever stunts.

[toomuchtodo]

Thanks. Dominica looks fairly reasonable at $100K for an individual, and $175K for a couple.

I believe that's Singapore. Albeit, the rules are being changed due to rapid influx of rich foreigners into Singapore causing social issues. https://sg.news.yahoo.com/ferrari-crash-fuels-singapore-anti...

Ferrari crashes in Seattle also fuel anti "rich scofflaw" sentiment...

If you have lots of money, you can buy citizenship and a sweet tax deal from one of Switzerland's municipalities/cantons.

Two separate issues there :)
