It does depend on what you mean by 'fluent'. If you mean perfect and indistinguishable from a native speaker, that could take a lifetime. If you mean capable of doing anything in the language, then it could only take a couple of years.
It also depends on age- children can pick languages up in next to no time.

| It depends also, and it is the most important thing, on the person itself and its capabilities on learning languages, and even more important with whoom he passes most of his time, and on many other things, it is therefore a quite complicated question to respond to.

| It also depends on age- the biggest factor.

| I agree with italianbro, JT & Willbut. It depends on a lot of factors.

| Well, it'll take you a lifetime to be fluent in any language even if you are a Native speaker. Nobody's perfect. There is always a room for improvement. We sometimes commit slips without us noticing it. Some may be acceptable in American English and some may not in British English. There is no such thing as absolute level.

| To me, fluency means that when you start talking, other people don't think you're not a native speaker.

| Age factor and the environment in which s/he lives, plays a vital role in it.
