A dual nationality would not appear to be of any help.

If EASA hung this coat on pilot citizenship, you could revoke your EU-country citizenship, and buy a Bolivian passport You would have to watch it though because you would lose your right of abode here, so a marriage to an EU citizen might be in order

But EASA is hanging this on pilot residence, which is both more difficult and more easy to mess with. It could be residence for tax purposes maybe - this (should it become law one day) will need to be clarified. But many "working" light jet pilots will not have to worry because they "move about" anyway. And wealthy people have multiple residences anyway (or none...).

Personally I think debating this is fun but pointless as a learning exercise because the whole proposal is so totally nutty it is bound to change.
