Russian ladies have begun giving birth in Buenos Aires since the invasion of Ukraine so that their offspring can acquire Argentinian citizenship. The nation of South America is currently eradicating what they refer to as “birth tourism.”
After the invasion of Ukraine, Russian women have begun traveling in droves to give birth in Buenos Aires so that their offspring can get Argentinian citizenship. As they get ready to tighten their visa rules, Argentine immigration officials are currently closely monitoring the women, according to the Associated Press.
About 5,000 pregnant Russian women have reportedly entered Argentina in recent months, including 33 on a single aircraft on Thursday, claims the report.
All of the most recent entrants, according to the national migration bureau, were in their final weeks of pregnancy.
Some ladies managed to enter the nation despite some of them being initially turned away at passport control.
Let’s examine the reasons for the exodus of Russian women during the conflict in Ukraine.
To become a citizen of Argentina
It’s claimed that Russian mothers seek to ensure that the citizenship of the children they give birth to in Argentina.
It should be mentioned that Russian families who want to give their children the benefits of dual citizenship commonly travel to Argentina – where they are not subject to any visa requirements – due to Moscow’s isolation from the west during the war.
Around 10,500 pregnant Russians have arrived in Argentina in the past year, according to The Guardian, which quotes Florencia Carignano, director of the country’s immigration office, in an interview with Telenueve on Friday.
