Usually you have to be a resident for a number of years before being eligible for citizenship. Often the process is faster and easier if you meet minimum income or wealth thresholds, because countries like hosting rich expats.
Interesting read, thanks for posting. Though the “maybe it was homicide” angle feels like a tease to create a better story. The climbers committed basic mountaineering sins: continuing when team members were sick or exhausted, splitting up the team (and letting some people go off alone!), overnighting on the glacier without appropriate gear, etc. These are common ways people die in such conditions.
I have appointed you as the new moderator. Thanks!
I agree that it would be great for others to pitch in, too. If anyone else volunteers, I am happy to give them mod rights, too. You can also do it yourself now.
