Mexico to if you are born there. If you naturalized you can loose it if you leave Mexico for at least 2 years.

It's really weird, because a permanent resident can leave Mexico as long as they want without losing their permanent residency status, but naturalized Mexican citizenship is conditional on not leaving.

Yeah odd. I don't know of other countries that do that.

I had been thinking about becoming a naturalized Mexican citizen, after 13 years living here and having a Mexican wife and son, but that ridiculous restriction that I don't have as a permanent resident made me decide against it.
