Hype up your past and if you’re lucky they might try a honey trap.....
Seriously, sister has a British and Irish passport and when planning visit to Leningrad and Hermitage went to fill in online Russian visa form. Entered British as nationality and was presented with 10-12 page form asking for details of every overseas trip with dates and places for last 10 years. Switched to Irish as nationality and form dropped to 2 pages with basic passport details.
Conclusion - find an Irish ancestor.....
