Post new topic

Dear all,

Is it true that parents of mexican born child can be naturalized as citizens of mexico after living for two years in mexico.

I have read on the govt site that after living for four years in mexico, a person can apply for naturalization.

Is there any naturalized citizen here on the forum.

Thank you.

I have been a naturalized Mexican since 2008, but I have no Mexican children. I am also a widow, living alone; my husband was not naturalized. A different situation, but I might be able to help. I do know someone who became a Mexican after giving birth. Like most other things, the rules change from year to year and from state to state. It seems generally easier to achieve naturalization when you are in a non-tourist state, there doesn't seem to be so much suspicion of your motives. Do you have specific questions?

Yes. Thanks for replying. I am actually planning to migrate to any country in north america which has a relatively easy rules for naturalization.

I think may be this helps my children to have better prospects, if they ever wish to make their life in a different country.

Of course, i, would never make myself or  family to lead a difficult life than the happy one which we have now.

So, i was thinking of canada, us, mexico or south american countries - brazil . After searching, i found out that mexico and brazil naturalizes parents who have children born in those countries. Mexico 2 years, brazil 1 year.

Please do share or give me auggestions.

Thanks a lot again
