European/American Dual Citizenship?
Hello, I would like to know some minor details about European/American Dual citizenship. I know Italy doesn't have high taxes, and France protects people from the media (hence why many celebrities live there). I would like to know more about other European countries' policies.
I've had my eye on Belgium, so if anyone has any details, please inform me.
Thanks in advance!

It is nearly impossible of an American to immigrate to any European country. European Union rules forbid non-Europeans from getting a work visa there , so therefore, you cannot live there. Immigration process is several years long and you must live in the country for several years before applying for citizenship...IF you can find a way to immigrate there...like marriage to a citizen. In other words, there is a slim to none chance you can become a citizen in a European country.

See answer I. A further detail: you have had your eye on Belgium, as if the country is yours for the picking, among various other European countries. Very good. Do you know how many languages our middle rank executives speak? At least 4. English, Flemish, French and German. Do you qualify?
Belgian income tax is approx 28% from gross for a midlle class executive. If you prefer Italy go by all means and see in what kind of finantial mess they are these days after the Berlusconi regime. France protecting people from the media? Are you serious? You must be mixing Monaco where the celebs are living with France. Otherwise ask their ex presidential candidate Mr. Strauss Kahn how he was protected from the media during his sex scandal.
