So if I can find a local to marry, where can I get a faster track to non-economic citizenship than Paraguay? How long does the whole process take? And speaking of Paraguay, how much is naturalization process speeded up by getting married to a local?AnonymousAmerican wrote:quickest way to get one, getting married.Rock wrote:It's easy to say that. But how do you do it in practice, how much time on the ground do you have to spend, and how long does it take from start to finish? For most, we are talking at least 5 to 10 years. Some people want or need to get a second passport much faster than that without paying for an economic program one. Paraguay may be the fastest available right now.AnonymousAmerican wrote:If you want a Latin American passport, get either a Mexican one, a Brazilian, or Chilean one. Those are the best passports to have in Latin-America and you get access to a lot of first world countries without a visa.
If your goal is just an insurance policy against your home country in case they decided to force you home by pulling your passport, then about any second passport would do.
I've checked out the marriage route in some countries where it seems to make hardly any difference if at all. For example in DR, it really doesn't speed things up. Likewise for Taiwan.
