There are a few ways to do it--but they're all costly and time consuming. Apart from dual citizenship, gotten by residency or marriage, some countries have a policy whereby you can invest a certain amount in the country and they'll give you a passport--I know with Austria it's $5million, and with lesser-developed countries it's less. There was an article in the Economist about it a while back.
