Russian birth tourism to Brazil increases

Yulia and Dmitri (whose names have been changed for reasons of safety) flew from Russia to Brazil this summer so that their child could be born there. Yulia was 32 weeks pregnant at the time of travel. "Of course, we didn't say that I was pregnant at border control," Yulia told DW. Her daughter was born at a private clinic in Santos, a city in southern Brazil. Anybody born in the country has an automatic right to Brazilian nationality. The family is currently preparing all the paperwork. "We've achieved our minimum goal," said Dmitri. "With a Brazilian passport, our daughter will be able to travel without a visa to almost any country in the world. She won't have to apply for an expensive and time-consuming Schengen visa.
