some ccTLDs in the EU require you to be a citizen in any EU country. (So .fr or .eu for example)
I don't know about .fr but the .eu ccTLD is literally the European Union's TLD. The same exact requirements are applied: you need to either be a citizen or have a business there. If you attempt to register a domain with the .eu TLD you must provide an European ID card.
The point was that its not the case for all ccTLDs.
I don't understand. For .eu it is indeed the very same thing, isn't it? You still need to be either a citizen or have business there to apply for a domain.
There are actually benefits to registering for a ccTLD in your country of nationality, as you're touching on, but others reading are missing or not aware. .ca also has these features.

Some countries require you to either be a citizen or have a business there, yes. But it’s definitely not the case for all ccTLDs.

Examples of the latter are for example .to or .ag, that do not have such requirement.

It's the same thing.
Yes, that is what I meant. That you need to be a citizen of the EU.
Sorry if I wrote it in a way that was easily misunderstood.

For .eu yes.
But I also mentioned .to and .ag for example where this is not the case.
Both are ccTLDs that have no such requirements. There are others as well.
