There are several ways to go about this.
See if you have a parent or grandparent or spouse who is, was or could acquire citizenship of one of the EU countries. Italy seems to have worked well for a good number of people I know this way.
Look at at investing in some of the EU countries as a vehcile to get residency and later citizenship.
Find an employer willing to sponsor you.
... and then there are the less routine officially-sanctioned methods and also some more questionable ones that are not officially-sanctioned but do "work".
