Due to some serendipitous circumstance, I find myself having the option to take a short route to Mexican citizenship. I'm not 100% sure it's doable, but no risk no gain I suppose. My current citizenship is in EUSSR, which I loathe.
While I've done my due diligence in researching the Mexican citizenship pros and cons, I can't help getting cold feet. I know some nomads collect passports like they're post cards, but for me it feels like a big deal. There's a part of me who wonders how did I get from an innocent hometown girl to something that resembles a crypto fugitive of some sorts. Maybe it's precisely that love of uncorrupted freedom that I'm trying to preserve, but it still feels odd.
Is anyone here that can vouch for the Mexican passport? Anything unusual that I should be mindful of?
My main 'pro's right now are the following:
1. I really like the country, the people, food, weather, etc.
2. Mexico's response to covid has been probably the best in the world, no harsh lockdows, no special entry requirements, etc. In case of some global dystopian future, I see Mexico as a great plan B.
3. No tax for cashing out crypto AFAIK, everything is super smooth.
The cons:
1. I'm not 100% how double taxation works now or how it will work in the future, but my foreign income is so negligible I don't really care much either way. My dream is to have some base (residence, or least a small real estate) in Turkey also in the future. I'm a bit of a paranoid pessimist, I would like to have more options around the world just in case SHTF and I don't know how the Mex citizenship would fit in the bigger puzzle.
2. Uncertainty. Even if I get a PDH in Mexican law today, in a world of constant change, I am afraid I'll get lost in bureaucratic details that might back fire. I am unfamiliar with the complexities of having dual citizenship.
