What residencies do you have/want and how do you get them?

What residencies, etc have you been able to obtain, are working on or are thinking about? Why? And what do they take to get?

I’ll go first.

I have Mexican Permanent Residency. I first had to get a 12 month temporary residency. I mostly had to show proof of income or proof of savings, which was fairly easy. Then I have a friend who was able to convert my Temporary Residency to Permanent Residency in 3 days for just $10k. Normally that takes 4 years.

Finally, the real reason I’m making this post:

I want the option to be able to stay in the Shengen Area long-term. What’s the best way you’ve found to do that? Building a business with friends here, so I can effectively self sponsor for residency in Hungary, but wondering if there are other options
