Been living here for over 4 years. If I didn’t have any other passport other than the US one, I’d consider staying here long-term. But since I have an EU passport, I’m looking to switch this to our vacation spot and move to Europe.
It’s not that cheap anymore but it’s still a lot more affordable compared to the other alternative (Canada). Lots of items have doubled in prices since 2017 which may not impact the average immigrant/expat, but it’s not great for the locals.
I live in Mexico and I work for a US company. Will be relocating my tax nexus to a European country with the same employer next year.
I guess it’s one of those things where you need to think about what would happen in the future if you were to marry your partner (or formalize the partnership in some manner). Would you expect to kick out your partner for two weeks ever year your parents visit?
Generally, therapists recommend for the couple to form their own “household” and anyone else - parents, cousins, siblings, etc. - who visits are guests. In this case, your parents are the guests, with or without the expat guilt associated with it.
And it’s not awkward. I don’t speak the native language of my in-laws fluently, but I picked up Duolingo for a few months and I’m able to have a conversation with them. That’s pretty much bare minimum that anyone can hold themselves to, so maybe suggest that to your partner and parents?

The wording makes it seem like you’re asking about the 2-year citizenship process in Spain. No, you’d have to reside in Spain for two years and then some for processing time.
But, if not, additional specifics would be helpful as there are other ways to obtain Spanish citizenship.
Mexico: believing in alebrijes and la llorona but not in mental health
I just booked an Airbnb for 3 months in Toronto during low season. It will cost me over $6k USD total for lodging alone. That’s why.
Lots of people in Mexico don’t see daylight either. Their normal working hours are much longer than Canada’s.
Sun sets at 6pm here in Mexico now that they don’t recognize DST anymore. Not saying it’s the same at 4pm but oof, it’s not that far off anymore.
