Citizenship for the child and permanent residence for the parents — with one condition: you need to enter the right way. Visibly pregnant travellers are turned away at Cancún, which is why we arrange status before departure.
Mexico is an underrated destination: birthright citizenship for the child, permanent residence for parents through the child, reasonable medical costs, and a flight that is half as long as to South America. A Mexican passport gives visa-free access to around 160 countries.
There is one rule that birth-tourism sellers tend to keep quiet about: Mexican border officers turn away pregnant tourists, especially on flights to Cancún. The only reliable route is residency status arranged before travel. It takes a few extra weeks and a few hundred extra dollars — but you cross the border as a resident, not at the mercy of an officer’s mood. SVOY Baby works with Mexico only this way.
