Dual citizenship
Hi everyone,
Ive been a lurker on this site for some time but finally decided to join in on the fun. Ill be traveling to Gonzaga Bay soon and will post a trip
report when I get back. But first I had a question I was hoping you guys could help me out with.
My grandfather was born in Mexico, and I was wondering if I could obtain my Mexican citizenship through him. Unfortunately he is passed away, however
I have his original Birth certificate stating where he was born. I have read that I could get my dual citizenship through a parent if they were born
in Mex however can I get it through my grandfather?
Also does anyone now where I can go to find out, cost's or details. It would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Baja Blanca, thanks for the info. It is greatly appreciated.
Did you obtain your citizenship through a parent or grandparent or did you get it in another way? Im hoping to see if someone has some insight into
knowing if I can obtain it through my grandfathers birth certificate.
Somebody told me a while ago their was a place in Tj that I could go to and bring my grandfathers birth certificate and obtain the citizenship using
that however I can't remember the details.

Hi Rob,
I hope this post is helpful, also read the first post on the thread:

Regarding your grandfather's citizenship I'm certain that it wont be of any help: ONLY your birth parents can give this right.
The other way is like Blanca and Les did it and also many other foreigners do it: first you get your temporary FM and work your way up to permanent
status and then your citizenship, this is what I think it is, please don't take my word as fct, like Blanca said: CONTACT AN ATTORNEY.

I am 74 yrs. old and have a Permanent Residence status. I have heard that the requirement to become a Mexican citizen is not as time demanding. Is
this true?

If you are getting citizenship so you can bequeath your property to your kids...They have to be citizens as well.

I really think only an attorney can give you the right info. There is no cost involved in writing to Gilberto.
What is easy as a 74 year old is not having to take the history and culture exam - but you must speak rudimentary Spanish
please take a seat
why do you want to become a Mexican
what do you like about mexico etc.
I dont think there is any difference in time frame - it was not too long in our case
norte -why couldn't your kids get a fidcomiso?
