Is it necessary to have U.S. citizenship? I want to become DEA agent. I'm from Europe, and we have a DEA base in our capital. I am currently in high school and will be graduating in 3 years. I still have many unknowns about the future, which is why I'm not sure if I can go all the way to the USA to apply there. Is it possible to apply in my country?
