That seems like a rather distant connection. I have in the past heard of Brazilians gaining Italian citizenship though.
It might actually be easier in your case just to go after skills based immigration.

I have no idea how any of works, but good luck. How do you feel about heliocentrism?

Not really interested. I already have a cushy semi-NEET job at an American company.
I can't imagine working in Italy or Poland would pay better than my remote position. Even if it did, I wouldn’t want to, because commuting to a workplace again is something I never want to do. Working from home as a semi-NEET is the ideal setup for me.

I can't speak to what the process looks like for Polish citizenship, but I do know a bit about the claims process for Italian citizenship. Since it was your great grandparents, I'm going to assume they probably emigrated some time in the 1880s to 1920s ish. From what I understand, you can claim citizenship from any ancestor of yours that was or is an Italian citizenship. Obviously, claims from living ancestors are much more likely to succeed compared to claims from deceased and very old ancestors. One particularity about pursuing Italian citizenship, particularly if its from that time period I mentioned, is that I have heard the constitution of that area was explicitly sexist, so women did not have the same citizenship rights and may not have been able to renounce their citizenship. In that case, you may be able to claim citizenship through a great grandmother, for example. But, as you mentioned, the process isn't a guarantee to citizenship and it can take a rather long time. Last time I looked into this, it seemed that the process would take 1-2 years and cost somewhere in the ballpark of $6000 USD.

Unless you have a reason to pursue citizenship abroad, I'm not sure whether I would recommend it considering the cost. The only reasons I can really think of for why you would want to pursue is if you want to live or travel abroad. It goes without saying, but citizenship to an EU country would allow you to live and work in any other EU member state, but you did say you don't plan on living in the EU... The only other thing I can think of is that an EU passport is a bit better than a Brazilian one, and it may be better if you need to access consular services abroad for whatever reason.

I mentioned it here >>134619, but this is a misconception I sometimes hear. If you live in an EU country, you can live and work in any EU country. So, even if you have Italian or Polish citizenship, you would be able to live and work in Spain, or Germany, or Sweden, etc. Pre-Brexit, I remember hearing that a lot of British pensioners for example would move to Spain in their retirement, and lots of Polish people would move to the UK to work manual labor because the pay was better than in Poland and the UK had a shortage of workers in that area.

You're Brazilian, you don't need to create more reasons for people to mock you.

I wanted to look into this because my great grandpa was German, but since he moved moved in the 50s it isn't applicable. You'd think it would make more sense if it was recent. Disappointing.
