Birth tourism refers to the practice of visiting another nation with the intention of giving birth there. Mexico practices the ‘Jus Soli’ which is the right of citizenship to anyone born in a territory. Having dual citizenship is an amazing privilege. You can use your second passport to enter more countries and reside abroad as well.
According to the Henley Passport Index, as of 11 January 2022, Mexican nationals enjoyed access to 159 countries (including the entire Schengen area) and territories without a visa or with one upon arrival, placing the Mexican passport 24th in terms of travel freedom. This makes it a good motivation to acquire Mexican citizenship.
