Introduction to Birthright Citizenship

Your child’s birthplace can shape their future. With birthright citizenship, you can provide them with a second nationality, opening doors to global mobility, better education, and expanded career opportunities. In some countries, this process also extends to parents, allowing them to obtain residency or even fast-track their own citizenship.

At NomadicX, we help parents navigate the complex process of birth tourism, ensuring a smooth, secure, and fully compliant experience. From selecting the right country based on legal benefits, passport strength, and parental naturalization pathways, to arranging residency visas, accommodations, and medical facilities, we handle everything—so you don’t have to.

We provide expert guidance and logistical support to reduce the stress and uncertainty of obtaining a second citizenship for your child. Our team assists with documentation, applications, and post-birth formalities, ensuring that you and your child receive citizenship with minimal delays.

Whether you’re looking to secure a powerful passport for your newborn, open up future global opportunities, or even gain citizenship yourself, we make the entire process seamless.

Birthright citizenship allows children to obtain nationality automatically at birth in select countries, providing them with lifelong benefits such as visa-free travel, better education opportunities, and expanded career prospects. In some cases, parents can also obtain citizenship more easily after their child is born in the country.

Common Questions

1. Can both parents get citizenship if their child is born in a birthright citizenship country?

It depends on the country. Some countries, like Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, allow parents to apply for fast-track naturalization after their child is born there. Others, like Canada and the U.S., do not automatically grant residency or citizenship to parents but having a child with birthright citizenship can make future family immigration easier.

2. How soon after birth can my child get their passport?

In most countries, the process takes between a few weeks to a few months. We assist with expedited passport applications and can help you navigate the necessary documentation to ensure the fastest processing time.

3. Do I need to be a legal resident in the country before giving birth?

Most birthright citizenship countries do not require parents to be legal residents before birth. However, some countries may have restrictions on entry visas for expectant mothers, which we can help you navigate.

4. Is birthright citizenship legal? Will my child have issues traveling on their new passport?

Yes, birthright citizenship is completely legal and recognized internationally. Your child will be a full citizen of the country where they were born and will have all the rights associated with that nationality, including visa-free travel, education, and work opportunities.

5. What if my home country doesn’t allow dual citizenship?

Some countries restrict dual citizenship, so it’s important to check your home country’s laws. We provide advisory services to help you understand how birthright citizenship will impact your child’s nationality status and potential legal requirements.
