Naturalization and citizenship-by-investment: residence years, language and civics tests, dual-citizenship rules, and multi-passport planning.
Mexican naturalization is handled by SRE under the Nationality Law. Ordinary naturalization generally requires five years of residence, with shorter two-year routes for specific cases such as Latin American or Iberian nationals, marriage to a Mexican citizen, or having Mexican children.
- Nationality Law Article 20 sets the general five-year residence rule and lists shorter exceptions.
- Applicants must prove Spanish ability, knowledge of Mexican history and integration into national culture under Article 19.
- Mexico permits dual nationality in practice, but applicants should verify effects in any other country of nationality.
