    I'm Panamanian my father, grandparents, great grandparents and great great grandparents were all born in Panama dating back from the early 1800s. I was born in the states. It took me 6years to get my Panamanian citizenship. It's a lot of bureaucracy and bullshit. It doesn't matter if you marry someone from Panama they don't give out citizenship. It doesn't matter how long you've lived there don't even try you're just wasting your time. The best you'll ever be in Panama for someone that's not Panamanian is just a permanent resident. I know by experience. Good luck getting anything in Panama no one gets the citizenship if you’re not Panamanian.

    Paraguay only allows dual citizenship with Italy and Spain. Nomad Capitalist consistently misses this. I'm an American and married a Paraguayan, and I can tell you I have worked a lot on this. Residency is much easier to obtain - though not as much as it used to be. But citizenship is another story unless you want to renounce what you have or have the Italian or Spanish citizenship. Paraguayan law allows the government to add to the list, so there is an established path to expanding the list, but that has to actually happen. Several years ago, the only allowed country was Spain, and then they added Italy, so a change could occur, but don't count on it. My wife actually appears to have Italian blood, and we're trying to get that citizenship through descent on her side for her and our kids and then later for me through marriage after meeting the requirements like the requisite proficiency in Italian. At that point, I'm hoping I could just apply as an Italian and have no problem. I'll also say they apparently don't check this for children of a Paraguayan as long as they are under 18 when applying. The official at one of the offices there told us in Paraguay they would then be viewed as Paraguayans if we got it for them as minors. I understand that approach to not be technically official but, rather, the practical way that things are done with that matter.

    Considering Mercosur (similar to like an EU for South America), i believe the founding member nations are Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. So you'd probably want one of these passports as long as they don't restrict you from having other passports. I think some of these countries let you come with all your passports and keep them but once you become a citizen of theirs, they won't allow you to add more citizenships. Let me know if I'm correct on that and if that's a factor, Argentina might be the only real option.

    Guatemala. Your index says it isn’t possible but a lot of people are misinformed on this. I am glad that you mentioned Guatemala on your video this time :)
    I will qualify for Guatemalan citizenship in a few years. My son was born in the US but also has Guatemalan citizenship through reporting consular birth, my wife is Guatemalan and could get US citizenship if she wanted. We know several people after I lived in Guatemala for four years who have dual citizenship. Both natural Guatemalan, natural USA and a few others. It is 5 years in Guatemala with no period more than 6 months gone or 10 years of residence without as much physical presence restrictions. Folks from CA4 countries qualify after 1 year.
    The law that seems it forbids dual in practice means you cannot esféricas your other citizenship without risk of loosing Guatemalan nationality. In other words, a Guatemalan national should not enter the country as a US Citizen.
    In reality though, immigration there really doesn’t care and we know several people who didn’t have time to renew their Guatemalan passport and just used there US passport to leave and enter and have no problems.

      I'm American born and I hold Guatemalan citizenship by descent.
      It was really easy if you follow the next simple steps.
      Go to the county clerk and get some birth certificates.
      Then go to get it validate (it's at another building which name I don't remember)
      Then go with that to the local embassy/consular office of Guatemala and they will do their job.
      Next travel to Guatemala with the papers you got there, go to the exterior relations building which is close to the politecnic school in Guatemala City (the students there dress like nutcrackers) and in that building show the papers you got then they will send you to look for a verified translator to get the papers translated into Spanish (they will recommend the actual verified translators)
      Then they will send you with those paper to the RENAP central offices and if everything is good you'll be able to obtain a Guatemalan Birth Certificate and that's it, he or she will become Guatemalan Citizen.
      Next step if you want is to get the passport but that's up to you.
      I myself didn't got it.
      But I highly recommend to do so.
      Then if it's 18+ years work on your DPI (ID CARD) but that will take some time to arrive for me was more than a year.
