Doubt it, think Ireland was the only EU state to offer citizenship purely by marriage and they stopped that years ago.

WITHOUT STAYING ????????????????????? You must be dreaming.

How can you not stay in a country and want to acquire the citizenship just bcus you are married to their citizen in another continent.

You better start thinking of moving to Hungary.

Not a totally outlandish notion. Switzerland offers Swiss citizenship to non-EEA-spouses of Swiss citizens married and living abroad for 6 years.

It does still require you to have close ties to Switzerland which I guess would be impossible to show if you have never lived there.

Ireland still give Citizenship and a Irish passport to the spouse of Irish
Public servants living abroad.
Looking after their own circle, but not the other ordinary Irish

You do not need to have lived there which is why the 6-year minimum period applies to Swiss citizens and their non-EEA spouses living abroad. The requirement to show close ties does not imply that you must have lived in CH. You can demonstrate this for instance, by the visits made to see (extended) family and family friends.

See http://www.bfm.admin.ch/bfm/en/home/the ... erung.html and http://www.bfm.admin.ch/bfm/en/home/the ... tml#a_0006

By the way, and rightly so, there is also a necessity to be able to speak and understand one of the four official languages, understand (or at least be interested in) the cultural, historical, social, political, judicial and constitutional aspects of the country. For instance I, out of personal interest, read the Swiss Review, browse the Swiss info site (which is a gem of a site by the way!), will be starting French classes this fall so I feel more integrated here (where we have quite a few french-speaking friends) and when we visit CH and so on. I do this so that I (hopefully) gradually become part of the Swiss way of life; and if ever I apply to naturalise, I hope to "feel" like a citizen and not merely what a piece of paper says I am.

It appears that Italy does confer the right of citizenship to spouse of Italian who have lived overseas for three years together. It is two years if they lived in Italy .

You can apply for a parmanent residence in Italy after living in Italy for 2 yrs if married with their citizen ?

And you can apply for a parmanent residence abroad after 3 yrs if married with their citizen ?

Italian CitizenshipThrough marriage:

* Foreign women who married an Italian citizen before April 27, 1983, were automatically granted Italian citizenship, while foreign men who married Italian women weren't granted this privilege, and neither their children were granted Italian citizenship if born before January 1, 1948.
* After two years of legal residence in Italy, the spouse of an Italian citizen can acquire Italian citizenship through naturalization or after three years of marriage (if overseas), provided a lack of criminal record and lack of national security concerns.

The excerpt Obie posted is crystal clear. One has to be the spouse of an Italian citizen. This is national law. I do not think that this extends to non-EEA spouses of non-EEA nationals holding PR in Italy.

Uvalue, Plum70 is perfectly correct on the eligibility criteria.In your case, you would have to wait for 10 years to qualify.

The Norwegian embassy's site in your country of residence should have the details.
