Have a Baby, Get a Passport? — Birthright Citizenship Explained (Jus Soli)

Thinking about having a baby overseas? Get covered early — SafetyWing has a 10-month waiting period for maternity - https://explore.safetywing.com/Nomad-... In this video, we break down birthright citizenship (Jus Soli) and answer the question: can you really get a passport just by having a baby in another country? After having our first child in Thailand, we constantly get asked whether she received Thai citizenship — and the answer surprises most people. We explain: • What Jus Soli (birthright citizenship) actually means • Which countries automatically grant citizenship at birth • Which countries have restrictions • Which regions do NOT offer it at all • The reality of having a baby overseas as digital nomads • Our personal experience giving birth abroad Many countries in North and South America offer automatic citizenship at birth, while most of Asia and the Middle East do not. Europe and countries like Australia and New Zealand often require residency or citizenship from at least one parent. We also share why we chose Thailand for healthcare, cost of living, and support — not for a passport. If you're a digital nomad, international couple, or thinking about having a baby abroad, this video will help you understand your options. 👇 Let us know in the comments: Would you consider having a baby overseas for citizenship benefits?
