You are correct with Portugal, I found this on some website:
Portugal is, overall, the easiest country to get citizenship of the EU.
That’s due to the following factors:
Citizenship is easy to get once you already live in the country, not just Portugal, Luxembourg is probably easier even, the language requirement is a low level of Luxembourgish. Of course for that you first need residency. In Portugal is again easy, as long as you have a job contract, Portugal has probably the most liberal migration laws in the EU right now (yeah, wages are low).
Portugal nationality for non-residents is easy as long as you can prove a family connection, that can be a Portuguese granparent or Portuguese Jewish roots (they can be 5 centuries old, is a compensation for inquisition, but you must be able to prove it, a Portuguese Jewish surname helps).
Portugal's population is getting smaller each year as natives relocate to other parts of Europe where they can earn a living wage. It's got it's own problems, one of them being real estate is too expensive for people born in the country (thanks in part to wealthy immigrants). Regardless, their policies welcome immigration, unlike most countries.
Yeah, I believe they are tax friendly to remote workers and you can get a visa to remain if you've got assets that generate €7k income a year.
I'd say it's still not an easy task to get an EU passport. I'd definitely takes quite a commitment at least.
