Great format for a video. Answer a single question in the duration of a morning coffee. Short, sweet and to the point with citations, too. I found it very useful. Thanks.

One little caveat is that if you are planning on becoming a citizen, in addition to the requirement of being a resident for at least 5 years you also cannot have been outside of México for more than 180 days in the 2 years prior to applying for citizenship. Great video with solid information. Thanks, Paul!

This time an easy question…
Though Paul is excatly right (as always is must say).
This is why I like this channel.
It brings things to the point.
It is well researched.
It is correct.
You do not find many channels that have all these qualities.
Thank you.
