The second that a new baby is born into this world, it becomes a citizen of (at least) one country.

How is that determined?

2 ways:

1. By blood of the parents (Jus Sanguinis or blood meaning what the parents are)
2. By location of the birth (Jus Soli or the Soil meaning where it is born)

It happens automatically in your home country and you don’t think about it.

Most people don’t realize that they can have a baby in ANY COUNTRY and then the laws of that country would apply to their baby.

As Dream World Passport Dreamers, we should plan out HOW and WHERE we MIGHT have a baby.

How Does a Baby Get Dual Citizenship?

If you have a baby born in a “Soil” country, it gets automatic citizenship, regardless of the nationality of the parents. 

If the parents are a different nationality than the soil country, the baby gets automatic dual citizenship. This can greatly shorten the time for the parents to naturalize in the soil country because they are parents of a citizen.

It’s a sweet way to speed up the process of setting your family up with dual citizenships.

Which Countries Allow Dual Citizenship?

Many countries allow dual citizenship (holding more than 1 passport at the same time). There are some that force to give up your other citizenship when you are naturalized into a new country as a citizen. The USA used to do this a long time ago but now they allow Americans to be dual citizens.

There’s one way to get instant citizenship that people aren’t really aware of: have a baby that’s born in a country that gives citizenship by soil meaning where you’re born.

The large majority of countries that allow this in an unrestricted manner are in the Americas. Even the United States and Canada. This is why you hear the term anchor baby in the United States. If an immigrant who is not a citizen of the US manages to get into the country and has a baby, that baby is automatically a US citizen. The same thing happens in a lot of other countries.

Why not plan ahead and take advantage of this?

The top way to do this is probably Mexico for most people. A Mexican Citizenship/passport is a pretty strong one. You get visa-free access to 154 countries and if you were American, dual citizenship with your nearest neighbor. We could also do this with Canada if that’s an attractive option to you. The dual citizenship requirements are easy to meet.

The added benefit for says an American having a baby in Mexico is now you have a blood relative who is a Mexican citizen. You can be naturalized in only two years instead of the normal five if you have a blood relative who is a Mexican citizen. Thus you save 3 years of your life by becoming a Mexican citizen yourself.

For those of us that are here at dreamworld passport, we like to do the research ahead of time and craft our dream world exactly the way we want it. 

Many people start out as digital nomads and then transition into a more settled existence in 1 to 2 countries. The same people frequently want to start a family. Planning out where and when you want to have your children is a big deal.

We like Mexico the best but will cover all the available countries in this article.

Chile along with Uruguay is considered one of the most expensive cities in South America. It is a great place to move to if your financial situation permits. 

If your baby is born in Chile, a Chilean nationality is acquired at birth. However, there are exceptions to this one— your baby cannot acquire Chilean nationality if the parent is in the service of a foreign government such as a diplomat and you do not reside in the country. However, the good news is that your child when older can then apply to acquire Chilean nationality since the country is on the principles of jus soli and jus sanguine.

It can be noted that the economy in Chile is now one of the most stable across the continent and the country is home to a flourishing financial sector that offers job opportunities to bilingual speakers. 

The Chilean passport is one of the best in the world. It is recommended to HAVE your baby in Chile due to the recent statistics from the World Health Organization stating that Chile’s health system ranked 33rd out of 190 countries.

The medical facilities in Chile are one of the best in America, especially in Santiago, where the standard of the healthcare system is very high.

Uruguay

• Children born within the Republic of Uruguay, regardless of the nationality of the parents, receive citizenship. Uruguayan law refers to this as “natural” citizenship. 

Uruguay is a small country that has a growing Human Development Index and has consistently ranked higher than any other country in Latin America. It is considered one of the safest places in Latin America. 

Natural citizenship is acquired automatically if your baby is born on Uruguayan territory or outside of Uruguay to an Uruguayan parent. But the child has to wait until the age of 18 years old to apply for citizenship. 

Apart from what was aforementioned, a number of people consider Uruguay’s healthcare system to be one of the best. The country employs 5.08 physicians per 1,000 people, and this makes it one of the most well-staffed systems in the entire world. 

The issue is having to wait until your child is 18 to get the full citizenship. This may not be the best move for some people.

The country introduced a structural health reform in 2001, which has been successful in affiliating 70 percent of the population to Family Health Insurance. However, the public service network, which is legally in charge of providing care to the lower-income population, lagged in its restructuring process, with serious problems of quality, efficiency, and governance.
