On July 16 in Moscow, Vesti reported that Chile's Migration Service began revoking citizenship from Russians born on the territory of the republic. The 'birth tourism' for a powerful passport is now under threat as Chile starts to revoke citizenship from Russian citizens.
Consensus
- Chile's migration service has started reviewing cases of Russian nationals born in Chile to revoke their citizenship.
- The revocation applies to children who obtained citizenship by birth but whose parents entered the country as tourists and did not reside there permanently.
- A total of 62 citizenships have been revoked so far, with 24 cases already under review.
- Agencies are involved in facilitating 'birth tourism' for foreign pregnant women, charging at least $15,000 to assist with documentation.
- Revoking the child's passport also removes parents' ability to legalize their stay in Chile.
