Find out how to obtain a Spanish passport through Mexican citizenship. Only 2 years until Spanish citizenship! Step-by-step instructions, documents, advantages.
Do you dream of EU citizenship but are not prepared to wait 10 years in Spain? There is a real and legal way to reduce this period to just 2 years — by obtaining Mexican citizenship. Thanks to the special historical relationship between Spain and Latin American countries, Mexican citizens can apply for Spanish citizenship through an expedited procedure. In this article, we will explain how it works, why this route is popular, and how the Visa Dan team supports clients at every stage.
Why Mexican citizenship opens doors to Europe
Spanish law grants privileges to citizens of countries with historical ties to Spain, including Mexico. For most foreigners, naturalization in Spain takes 10 years, but Mexican citizens can obtain a passport after only 2 years of legal residence in the country.
This is especially beneficial for people from CIS countries, where Mexican citizenship can be obtained more quickly and easily than by moving directly to Spain.
