Just to clarify the 5 year track, you just have to have had permanent residency (the card, not necessarily living in Mexico full-time) for at least 5 years before starting the citizenship process, right?

Those history and language tests are legally flawed and should be changed. The history one must have questions that any Mexican could answer easily like "que es la carta magna" and "que presidente logro la expropiación petrolera" and should be selected questions made to actual Mexicans by a public sample, not randomly selected by who knows who. The language requirement is contrary to the constitution, since Spanish is NOT the official language of Mexico, because Mexico does not have an official language, but 68 national languages in wich spanish is just one of them, so asking someone to speak spanish only is discriminatory for Mexicans… and the constitution guarrantees that any person in mexico, no matter their legal status has the same human rights than Mexicans.

Being said that, i find all the requirements to be not really hard and someone who is not a complete dumbass should pass without too much effort.

Do I have to do the Spanish language test for just residency.

hi brother I wanna know about network in Mexico and what sim card is better for calls and thanks

Your videos are so helpful! thank you so much

Thanks so much for the update on the citizenship tests! Your videos really helpful that's why I watch them

I love your channel. Thanks for the information on Mexico. I have a different citizenship issue. I was born in Mexico, 1953. Both my parents were US citizens. We departed Mexico when I was 3-years old. I don't have a copy of my birth certificate, as I was lost in a fire. I do however have my passport from 1956, I don't look like that child in the photo any more…ha. I've contacted the Mexican consulate here in North Carolina several times, but the web sites they send me to to get copies of my original birth certificate are of no use. To make matters worst, my Spanish is sub par at best. Any advice? I'd like to reclaim my birth right, Mexican citizenship.  
I've been thinking about following in your path…
MANY THANKS Gil

Hmmm I'm over 60 I'm lucky to do a exam in English. .
Now I need to learn to read and write in ,, Mexican Spanish,, hmm

2 year track? If someone is a naturalized Portuguese citizen – does this count too or is it limited to only born Portuguese citizens?

Best informative video about this anywhere, even outside of YubTub.

Talk in English….about everything….I never hear the truth about health care…being 65 yrs or older in Mexico….Mexico doesn't care….about seniors….you are left in a unknown world of no health care….as you get to older….you never talk about the true health care in Mexico…no one gives true health care…even you….show cost and be true costs for seniors ….it's a joke founding the damn truth…

So Linda, being a Colombian citizen (I assume), can get MX citizenship in 2 years? Is she pursuing it?

Hasta luego Paul. Thanks for the great info.

For the 5 year track do you need to be tied with a marriage or children to get a 5 year citizenship? You said it was the same as the two year. Thanks!

my heart goes out to all of us who even consider moving to countries with a Kafkaesque burocracy because our own in failing us. 🙄

How the f can they demand a certain amount that their citizens do not make. 🙄🙄🙄 "Mexico"

thanks

Excelente !!!

Thank you Paul for this great video.
I was born in Mexico of Mexican parents. I was brought to the USA at the age of 15 as a legal permanent resident. I'm currently a naturalized USA citizen. The last time I inquired, in my home town in the state of Nebrska, about how and what to do, in order that I could obtain Mexican citizenship, the employees at the Mexican Embassy were not only extremely rude, lazy, and unhelpful…that I left the Embassy very disappointed.
Does anyone know, how much does it cost to initiate the paperwork to obtain the Mexican citizenship? And any and/or all the additional fees that are required? I'm over 65 years old and a retired nurse. I'm still traumatized from my last experience at the Mexican Consulate. I hope, that if I have to go back, the current personal have been better trained in costumer service. Btw, I speak Spanish fluently. Thanks.

Hey Paul, strange question, I know. However, I really like that shirt you're wearing. What is the brand and where did you get it?

Maybe you could do a clip on Mexican residency. What the advantage with having Mexican citizenship _being able to vote, like the US.

Wow sounds tough.

Are copies of bank statements with a bank signature stamp acceptable for a Temporary Mexico Resident Visa. Thanks in advance.

Have you thought of giving short history classes of Mexico in order for expats to take this test in the future?

hey Paul, what about past arrests for misdemeanors? traffic violations? dwii? etc? or any such arrest ? (asking for a friend). thanks for all the great content and information!

I really admire your direct, matter-of-fact manner in you making of informative videos. You inspire trust that the information you give is accurate and interpreted correctly. Thank you.

Excellent

Thanks … something that was not mentioned in the video … and I know is true at SRE in Michoacán … Once your application for citizenship is approved is that SRE requires that you sign a document that says in the event that you are charged with a crime in Mexico, you understand that you may not use the force of your country of 1st citizenship in your defense. Basically meaning, you are a Mexican on Mexican soil and must handle any legal issues as any Mexican would. They also tell you that you may not sign any legal documents in Mexico that represent you as a citizen of another country. This of course is problematic because banks require you to declare your foreign citizenships if required by your country of 1st citizenship, such as USA Finbar/Fincen laws.

My father has passed away but my mother has all his papers,as he was born in Mexico; my mother born in the U.S. but to Mexican born parents. Would this paperwork/application form be taken to Mexican consulate in our city here in the U.S. to begin processing? I am 68 years old and have wanted dual citizenship.

Are citizenship and residency the same? I need residence.

You have to know who is the chavo del 8 😅

my mother is mexican so I'd qualify for citizenship, but I decided to go temporary residency when the time comes so I can take advantage of taking my car with me for the 4 years I'll be allowed. 👍

gretat job Paul as a mexican this video seems to me very clear, simple, and practicle.

Thanks for your video I subscribed!
