How it works
The order matters — each stage depends on the one before it.
We map your goals, family profile, and timeline, and rule out programs that won't fit before you spend anything.
You choose a route while we prepare the application file and help you gather certified documents.
The government's own background checks run in parallel with any required virtual interview.
Once approved in principle, the donation or real estate investment is finalized.
A notarized oath of allegiance clears the way for the certificate and passport to be issued.
Review identity, source-of-funds, family, and compliance requirements before choosing a route.
MexoPath coordinates with independent local professionals where required. These relationships do not imply government affiliation, influence, or preferential treatment.
Understand processing stages, family-inclusion rules, and the obligations that come with a second passport.
Before you commit
General answers to get you oriented — not a substitute for a conversation about your specific situation.
Confirm current nationality and adult-dependant restrictions, passport verification and issuance requirements directly before filing. Do not assume a fully remote process or a fixed completion time.
Most applications are handled remotely through an authorized local partner. Some programs require a virtual interview for the main applicant and any dependents aged 16 and over.
Typically a spouse and dependent children. Several programs also allow parents, grandparents, or siblings, under age and dependency rules that vary by country.
Appointment availability, prior authorisations, document checks and authority workload determine timing. Ask the responsible authority for its current estimate; no completion date is guaranteed.
Case information is shared only for the agreed service and lawful checks, subject to the Privacy Policy. Authorities and independent providers apply their own lawful procedures; confidentiality is not a promise that information is never disclosed.
