That said, if said adult or drug empire is employing say 3 or 4 locals, then it may well be an added bonus.
Oh, and not knowing the language or the words to het Wilhelmus won't help your case either

Of course neither are easy or guaranteed..
My point is, they're the two main options of getting citizenship.
It would be foolish to think that marriage is an 'easy' way to get a passport, and likewise equally naive to think that 4 years will instantly grant you citizenship.
BUT - if for those 4 years, you pay tax, have a job / have an asset / create a business and speak the language, it's not going to be a problem.
