  1. As to some of the reasons to get Mexican citizenship. We travel to some countries that are not friendly to the USA with the Mexican Passport....Turkey is one that comes to mind where you will not be charged an excessive amount for a tourist visa. We receive ½ off all our taxes....property, water, raw and farmed land. We were not welcome to ask for and get Mexican credit cards and now we are...and there is always the right to vote and probably more things we haven't become aware of. 

    My wife has been treated with exceptional warmth by people here in Jocotepec. When getting the voter card....they posed with her for a photo.

  2. The man with the "cleft" palate is the current director. He is a serious block to understanding Spanish....yet his english is clear. You are ABLE to request a different person for the test. His assistant, a lady with crystal clear pronunciation gave us the Spanish test after we failed the first time at his desk. Senior Heraldo did stand behind her as she asked us questions but was  polite when she declared that we were able to speak and understand her. Note...that he is retiring at the end of this year and she will replace him. 

  3. Yes,....BUT, if they want to, you might only get a one year contract and then renew for a three year period. I have taken folks in from Chapala and, without reason, some only get offered a one year. 

    Remember to get your contract plastic covered as the printing can rub off and also to never expect free service without your contract in hand.

  4. We have a Mexican friend whose wife developed internal worms that took many months to get rid of...during that time she was not a happy camper...but this is a very free country...do as you wish....good thing the mayor of New York City has no influence here!
