I mean, of course you need EU citizenship, and although this will totally depend on the number of experienced pilots applying for the job, it’s worth nothing to dream about it, even though I have started my EASA conversion already.
I'd imagine they'd start sponsoring visas before they do that, since its not really KLM that gets the say on that, aviation authorities would be involved too. On the flip side, if they can prove that they can't hire enough EU citizens, it then becomes fairly simple to sponsor visas.
