A lot of countries have multitudes of avenues for obtaining naturalization and not just residency that don't always require hefty investments and years of residency.

I've always lawyer shopped in countries I've lived and worked in. FSU (excluding Russia I'd assume) most all of the countries have very fucked up systems where the officials couldn't give a fuck about the way they are "supposed" to do their job or follow their procedures.

Thanks for posting. What you refer to is a gray market passport, which comes with many risks -- especially if a new administration decides to clean up corruption (and decides to retroactively examine previously issued passports for compliance with all laws) or if a new computer system is installed to track down potential gray passports. If you do take this route, make certain that you obtain not only the passport but also the certificate of citizenship or some other proof of naturalization. Pay half of the money up front and then half the money when you obtain both the passport and the certificate of citizenship.

Grey Market and Black Market Passports

A grey market passport is one where not all the criteria ordinarily necessary for its issuance are enforced. In recent years, promoters have offered passports from Belize, Bulgaria, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Greece, Guyana, Lithuania, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Portugal, Romania, and other countries on this basis. In most cases, the promoter finds a corruptible insider with the ability to issue a passport with few if any questions asked.

The passport is genuine and officially issued, but in an unofficial and unauthorized manner. Depending on the quality of the insider access, a certificate of naturalization may or may not accompany the passport. Without naturalization, it may not be possible to renew the passport, to use it to enter and leave the country, or even to open a local bank account.
