> In almost all countries you can buy citizenship if you're rich.

I don't think you can buy citizenship in most Central/Western European countries. You may be able to buy residence status but not citizenship.

I think the parent is treating citizenship == permanentish visa in his comment. The article is also about a Investor visa, not citizenship.

I’ve checked 2 (UK and Switzerland) and both offer some form of Investor visa, so it’s really no different to the New Zealand situation (other than general restrictions on entering the country).

Permanent residency of some kind and citizenship right after. All the biggest Western European countries. Trust me when you have money, everyone's a whore.
