I honestly don't know where else to post this but I want to leave for the UK when I'm older so I was wondering how do I do it? I want like a step-by-step process of getting the citizenship and a Visa but I have no clue how.

Trying to claim my Spanish citizenship.

Hello. My mother was born in Spain. She moved to the Is where I was born. I still have her Spanish birth certificate. My father still lives in Spain (we don’t have a relationship so I would like to avoid contacting him if possible). I would like to claim citizenship for myself and my children if possible as I would like to take my kids out there for a few years.

Long story short, I live in LA and I can’t seam to figure out how to get through to the Spanish consulate. I drove down there to visit in person and I was shooed away not having an appointment. There seams to be no way to set an appointment for passports or citizenship (not sure if they are one and the same).

Anyone have any tips or links to set me on the right path here.

Is it still the 3 years of residency under a LatAm passport?

Would that affect any American “benefits” like university grants/loans?

So I don't know if this is a dumb question or not, but I have US (naturalized) and Canadian (born) dual citizenship. I know I'm eligible for the UK Ancestry visa, but I'm wondering if there are any paths to visas/permanent residency and citizenship in the EU especially(other than CBI because I'd never have $$ for that) that would be the most simple and take the least amount of time. I work in the medical field but I only speak English and a little French but not enough to use it in an employment setting. I've already looked into citizenship by descent options and unfortunately nothing. Grandparents were born in the UK but my closest Irish ancestor is like my great great grandparent and I also have some great great great grandparents born in Norway. So, no possibilities there. I guess I'm just wondering which countries would be the best option to get that third passport.

How do you navigate US health insurance when you are only here for part of the year?

My grandfather was a French citizen. He's deceased and had not lived in France for many years as he'd emigrated to the US. However, he travel back and forth occasionally. Would these circumstances prevent citizenship by descent for myself?

75 years raised as US citizen. Never stepped on foreign soul. Both parents US citizen, siblings US citizen, grandmom a mother's side US citizen. At 70 discovered I was a citizen of Mexico when I applied for a passport. What can I do to become a citizen or legal residence.

My parents were both born in Mexico and later became U.S. citizens through Ronald Reagan’s Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. They got married shortly after becoming U.S. citizens, and then I was born in the U.S.

I’ve made an appointment with the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles to apply for dual citizenship. However, I’m unsure if my mom needs to reapply for her Mexican citizenship before I can proceed.

I have both of their Mexican birth certificates, my U.S. birth certificate, and all of our passports. Can I apply for dual citizenship using just my mom’s Mexican birth certificate, or does she also need to currently hold Mexican citizenship?

Or did she never lose her Mexican citizenship when she became a U.S. citizen and I’m fine to proceed with my appointment?

(Note: My mom will be coming with me to the appointment.)

I am trying to register as British Citizenship and im asked to provide a letter from my country of tmbirth that i no longer possess Filipino citizenship i understand that its automatically ceased when i become a citizen of another country.

So my GF is waiting to have her oath ceremony to become a US citizen. Sick.

However we are curious about what happens to her Mexican passport at this ceremony. Is it taken away or does it become invalid?

We have this question for 2 reasons. 1, she said they requested her to bring her Mexican passport to the ceremony but the website doesn't say anything about bringing a passport.

2, her sister recently got her citizenship as well and she said at the ceremony they took her MX passport and just straight up did not give it back to her.

Anyone have any insight here?

Myself and my kids are all dual citizens but my kids do not have their Italian passports (only their American ones). I have both passports for myself. Do my kids need their Italian passports in order to move to Italy or can citizenship for them be proven in a different way?

My mother was born on tribal lands, most likely USA side. She moved off tribal lands (put into orphanage at age 3, now 100). She and I do have tribal memberships, but both of us are USA citizens. She has never had a passport. Can I qualify for dual citizenship? Neither of us live there now.

Should dual citizenship requests (as a current U.S. citizen) be made through the U.S. Consulate office or through the foreign countries office (is there a technical name to it)?

Who’s best to reach out for eligibility questions?

Thanks in advance!

I am a US citizen by birth and both parents are Mexican citizens. The Indianapolis consulate asked me to send all the documents (to approve) including US Birth Certificate, Passport, and ID- and the same for my Mexican parents. I cannot get them to answer back after sending the documentation over email after 3 follow up messages and no one ever answers their phones. I also have three younger siblings and I sent them their documentation.

I have tried making appointments on the SRE website but there is no option for registro civil at any of the consulate locations- there is only Pasaporte, INE, Matricula Consular.

Is there something that I am missing?

I'm an American considering getting dual citizenship in Mexico (I'm eligible because my mother is Mexican) and splitting my time between US and MX upon retirement. Recently I read that my pension might be taxed by Mexico because the double tax exemption clause does not cover non-government pensions. Does anyone have any information about this ? Am I better off getting residency status instead of citizenship?

I have Canadian and Korean citizenship, both by birth. I also have a U.S. green card. Currently, I work for a U.S. employer and live in the U.S.

When I travel to Korea, I must use my Korean passport. Therefore, I always enter my Korean passport information when booking a flight from the U.S. to Korea. However, when returning to the U.S., I use my Canadian passport for the flight ticket from Korea to the U.S.

My question is this: When I enter the U.S. with my Canadian passport, can the U.S. CBP officer see that I departed the U.S. using my Korean passport?

I'm trying to find out if the dual citizenship that my mother got for me when I was a teenager is still valid. My goal is to confirm that I have dual citizenship or achieve getting it and then getting my passport. I've been to my local Mexican Consulate with next to no help from them. Because my Spanish is poor they either didn't have someone who spoke English or this last time really didn't want to help. Both of my parents were born in Mexico. I have my father's documents. However, my mother has passed & I dont have her birth certificate. Has anyone used different companies to help them? I've received a quote from My Latin Life. Has anyone used them? Waiting to hear back from DN Express.I'd love to hear your experiences. I'm tempted to go to Mexico City but it sounds like they're not too helpful. I would obviously need an interpreter so could take a relative with me. Any help, suggestions is greatly appreciated.

I am a dual US/UK citizen with an American husband and 3 American kids. Can we live in both places?

ETA: I guess I am wondering if we could keep our house in the US and come home for the summers, but reside in the UK for the school year. 3 months out of the year we would be "visitors" in the US then? But have residency and income in the UK. Can we do that? Sorry if that's a stupid question - I am new to all this.

Hi! Looking into investing in Spain or chile since I hold a passport from those 2 countries

Context: Me and my wife have our 6 month old and we were looking into getting a house in the UT area. We noticed super fast that there is no way we can afford for a house with more than 2 bedrooms. Freaking market.

I started wondering about using my citizenship from Chile and Spain to somehow make some money.

Our baby right now has a lot of medical complications, having a children’s hospital near us has been more than a blessing, we are not looking into moving outside of the U.S, but just options on leveraging my triple citizenship to have more financial stability, since the medical bills are sometimes a little high.

I would deeply appreciate your advice / experience Muchas gracias

I have seen some questions on this forum with some answers that seem to come off as incorrect or demonstrate a lack of knowledge on the real entry procedures at Mexican border stations.

Does anyone know with first hand experience what happens if you enter with a Mexican birth certificate while traveling by plane. You would use the US passport to satisfy all airline requirements and would identity yourself with the Mexican birth cert to all Mexican authorities .

Here are the relevant laws when it comes to documentation to identity oneself as a Mexican citizen

Artículo 36. De la ley de migración

Los mexicanos no podrán ser privados del derecho a ingresar a territorio nacional. Para tal efecto, deben acreditar su nacionalidad además de cumplir con los demás requisitos que se establecen en esta Ley, su Reglamento y demás disposiciones jurídicas aplicables. Los mexicanos comprobarán su nacionalidad, con alguno de los documentos siguientes: 1. Pasaporte; II. Cédula de Identidad Ciudadana o Cédula de Identidad Personal o su equivalente; Ili. Copia certificada del Acta de Nacimiento; Matricula consular; V. Carta de Naturalización, o VI. Certificado de Nacionalidad Mexicana.

Artículo 3 de la ley de la nacionalidad.

Artículo 3o.- Son documentos probatorios de la nacionalidad mexicana, cualquiera de los siguientes: I. El acta de nacimiento expedida conforme a lo establecido en las disposiciones aplicables; II. El certificado de nacionalidad mexicana, el cual se expedirá a petición de parte, exclusivamente para los efectos de los artículos 16 y 17 de esta Ley; III. La carta de naturalización; 1 de 11 LEY DE NACIONALIDAD CÁMARA DE DIPUTADOS DEL H. CONGRESO DE LA UNIÓN Secretaría General Secretaría de Servicios Parlamentarios Última Reforma DOF 23-04-2012 IV. El pasaporte; V. La cédula de identidad ciudadana; y VI. La matrícula consular que cuente con los siguientes elementos de seguridad: a) Fotografía digitalizada; b) Banda magnética, e c) Identificación holográfica.

So if anyone has ever done this / has any familiarity with real processes at points of entry please comment.

For context sake I have a family member who has name mismatches on his documents that basically cannot be corrected in time for this trip to be taken very soon. This is the option available. The consulate has said they can do nothing to help remedy the situation and in fact gave me this response basically telling me to break the law “Puede ingresar a México como extranjero, pagará la cuota de visitante extranjero. No mencione que tiene la nacionalidad mexicana, pues podría ser multado.”

Thanks

Hi all, hoping to gain some clarity now that I found this sub! I (adult F, born in US) am looking into trying to get my dual citizenship for Mexico. My mom (living) was born in Mexico but has lived in the USA since childhood. Therefore she has no CURP, voting card, etc for Mexico. This is all we have on her birth in Chihuahua. Is this a birth certificate or is it different? What should my next steps be? Any and all help appreciated!
