Are there any countries where non-citizen can become president?

In many countries only citizens can run for president. In the USA in particular there has been some indications of introducing changes to the rules such that naturalized citizens can run for president but I haven't found out if there are countries in which this is already happening. I guess there would have to be a big enough group of politically active non-citizens but I am not sure it's possible to create a party with the sole purpose of lobbying for the political rights of non-citizens. Of course there is a lot of variation since each country has their own rules so I am merely looking for pointers to continue my research. Related links: - [An immigrant president?
