Mexican citizenship by investment, also known as economic citizenship or citizenship by naturalization, allows individuals to obtain Mexican citizenship through financial investment in the country. Unlike some other countries that explicitly offer citizenship in exchange for investment (such as through real estate, business investment, or government bonds), Mexico's naturalization process does not have a straightforward economic citizenship program similar to those in the Caribbean or Europe.

Instead, Mexico follows a traditional naturalization process that requires applicants to meet residency requirements, demonstrate ties to the country, and fulfill other criteria over a specified period before becoming eligible to apply for citizenship. Generally, the process involves:

  1. Residency Requirement: Applicants typically need to reside legally in Mexico for a specified number of years (often five years, although this can vary).
  2. Financial Stability: While there is no explicit investment-for-citizenship program, demonstrating financial stability and ties to Mexico can be beneficial. This may include owning property, establishing a business, or making significant economic contributions to the country.
  3. Language and Cultural Integration: Applicants are required to demonstrate proficiency in Spanish and knowledge of Mexican history and culture. This is often tested during the naturalization process.
  4. Good Character and Clean Record: Applicants must have a clean criminal record and be of good moral character.
  5. Application Process: The naturalization process involves submitting an application, providing necessary documentation (such as birth certificates, proof of residency, and evidence of integration), attending interviews, and taking exams where required.
