I got a Dominican Republic passport/citizenship this past year through my mother. Total cost was about $350-$375. Way more people should look into this

One person did this test by 4 different companies and the results were quite different.

Great video! I'm currently working on Italian citizenship by descent. Looking forward to officially being Italian!

[Grimmes]

I was able to get Chilean citizenship after my dad passed away because I had all of his Chilean documents.

Great video! It's definitely not free or cheap in many cases for average people though. Gathering official documents and having them apostilled is not cheap. In many cases you need an immigration professional and/or lawyer to help with the process, and in some cases you may need to file legal cases in court depending on the complexity of your case (as I had to do). If you are American, there are also a lot of issues related to last name changes or misspellings after your relative immigrated which need to be sorted out. I agree that this is cheaper than citizenship by investment, but it can still run you in the tens of thousands of dollars depending on the country and how complicated your cases is.

I’ve became a Mexican citizen because of descendants (obviously my parents were born in Mexico) since August 14th, 2023, and honestly I’m not regretting that ever since!

[luizantonio]

Took my family 6 years to get italian citizenship by descent. Couple of years more to obtain the passport. We Didn’t spend much . I am italian-brazilian

[CATLONG]

Thanks for a nice and helpful video. Gonna get my DNA tests soon to prove myself.

[DanAdrienSarfati]

how can we find records in oral transmissions I've found out my family came from Iberia as Sephardic Jews in 1490s to 1500s there are still some preserved traditions, They first went to Lebanon then Turkey but IDK how to find records to prove this. Where can we find it exactly

[goingbacktoourroots]

My husband's biological dad was born in El Salvador & great grandparents born in Mexico - which is better to get 2nd passport (we don't speak Spanish well very basic)

[adrenalin]

So americans are just a bunch of greeks, italians, irish, germans, brits, french…literally just europeans

[Escape_The_Mundane]

I heard in germany they only care if your parent from germany. That where my grandma's family from

[sokraksios]

Do you have a company that you recommend across the board or do you recommend finding a local immigration attorney in the country you are looking to get citizenship by decent in?

[andytaquechel]

If they did naturalize, they had to have the next in the lineage BEFORE they naturalized. Super interesting

[alexc]

Hey Rafael, I'm interested in Mauritius and obtaining citizenship there but I've read apparently they don't allow dual citizenship if you become naturalized, and they only allow dual citizenship for Mauritians born in Mauritius. Can you confirm if that’s true? Or can I still keep my Canadian passport and become a Mauritian citizen as well?

[emiliosawaya]

Hi Rafael, it might be possible to get be possible for you to opt for Spanish citizenship if your Great Great grandfather kept it until the time your Great grandparent was born. Was your great grandparent born before of after Puerto Rico was ceded to the usa? Is the possibility of having your parent opt as a grandchild possible?

[fiftyshadesofurban]

I'm curious. My family is from Cuba.. LOL So that doesn't really work too well LMAO.. But when I look up my last name it originates in Spain. So can I get a Spanish passport even if my immediate family is from Cuba? I just saw that you are 53% Spanish and I can't place it but you're not native Spaniard you look Latin American. (as in from Central or South America, not necessarily from US)

[ramifridhi]

It is crazy how became like prisoners with this citizenship story, having at least a dual citizenship is now a must or you will pay really heavily !!!

[kagi]

I'm all Turkish all the way back as far as records go so this was not an option for me. Meanwhile I spent 5 years in the Netherlands to score a solid EU passport.

[RadioIlluminaticom]

What about a granddad from Swiss and my mother's great great granddad from Germany and 6 German priests traced back to 1300?
