Birth in Miami: one of the world’s strongest passports and a warm ocean

Miami is the #1 destination for births in the US among expat families: top-tier hospitals, a vast community in Sunny Isles, and citizenship for the child by birthright. On 30 June 2026, the US Supreme Court definitively confirmed birthright citizenship — but on 6 August 2026, an executive order against birth tourism was signed, and we no longer organise trips for the purpose of giving birth. We do handle documentation for children already born.

⚠️ What changed on 6 August 2026

An executive order was signed instructing the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security to end birth tourism — entry on a temporary visa with the primary purpose of giving birth. The order allows visas to be revoked, lifetime entry bans to be imposed, and action to be taken against companies selling such trips. SVOY Baby no longer organizes birth trips to Miami. We handle documents for children who are already born, and for those who specifically want to travel for the birth, we present the countries where that is legal and where parents can obtain status: Brazil, Argentina and Mexico.

Key facts about this destination

Miami is the most popular city in the US for expat families giving birth, and for good reason: warm weather year-round, direct flights, strong private medical care, and one of the largest established communities in America — in Sunny Isles Beach you can hear familiar languages on every corner. A child born in Miami automatically receives US citizenship: on 30 June 2026, the Supreme Court definitively confirmed birthright citizenship, upheld by the country’s highest judicial authority.

The U.S. passport is the strongest in the world: visa-free entry to more than 180 countries, the right to live and work in America, access to education, and — years down the line — the ability to sponsor a green card for parents. In return, the U.S. is the most expensive destination and the only one that grants no status to parents. We are upfront about this from the very first consultation: if your goal is the strongest passport for your child and you are ready for a U.S.-level budget, Miami is extraordinary. If the whole family needs status now — we’ll compare it with Brazil and Mexico; we cover all destinations.

Budget

Documents for the child — 1 500 $

One price for the full package, no surprises or add-ons. Government fees are paid directly to the relevant authority and are not included in our fee — we state the amounts upfront and provide the receipts.

Why we publish our prices — and the market doesn’t

  • We are priced below the market. Happy Baby lists ’American documents $250 + Russian documents $1,300’ — that’s $1,550 for the same thing.
  • We do not sell birth tourism trips. Neither for $15,000 nor for $48,900. The reason is the decree of August 6, 2026 — and it has nothing to do with money.
  • We list government fees separately and transparently. They are small and paid directly to the authority.

Visa and honesty at the border

Giving birth in the US is legal if you enter honestly. You must not conceal your pregnancy or the purpose of your trip: since 2020, consular officers may deny a visa if the sole purpose is childbirth and there is no payment plan in place. We prepare a proper application package: verified funds, a confirmed hospital agreement, and straightforward communication.

Paid invoices

Insurance rarely covers planned births for non-residents; the hospital takes a deposit in advance. An unpaid bill becomes a debt and may cause problems with future US visas. We calculate the budget in advance and pay at the hospital’s official rates.

No parental status granted

The USA is the only destination we offer where the parents of a newborn do not receive any status. The child can only sponsor you from age 21. If your family needs status now, we will honestly suggest Brazil or Mexico.

Q&A

Frequently asked questions — Miami

Will my child get US citizenship if I give birth in Miami?
Yes. Any child born on U.S. soil, including in Florida and Miami, receives U.S. citizenship under the 14th Amendment. On June 30, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court definitively confirmed birthright citizenship. The child receives a birth certificate, an SSN, and a U.S. passport.
How much does it cost to obtain documents for a child in Miami?
We have not organized birth trips since August 2026. Document processing for a child already born costs $1,500 for the full package: state birth certificate, SSN, US passport, apostille, and Russian documents. Government fees are separate and paid directly to the relevant authority.
Is a visa required to obtain the child’s documents in Miami?
No visa is needed to process the child’s documents — the child has already been born, and the paperwork is filed locally. If you are still planning the trip: an executive order against birth tourism has been in effect since August 6, 2026, and under the 2020 rule a consular officer is required to deny a B1/B2 visa if the primary purpose of the trip is deemed to be giving birth. We do not arrange such trips.
Will the parents gain status in the US after the child is born?
No. Unlike Brazil or Mexico, the US does not grant status to the parents of a newborn. The child is a US citizen, however, and upon turning 21 can sponsor a green card for the parents. If you need status for the whole family now, we will give you an honest comparison with Brazil and Mexico during the consultation.
Which neighbourhood in Miami is best to stay in during the birth?
Sunny Isles Beach, Aventura and Hallandale are the most popular choices — they have a large expat community, pharmacies and doctors who speak Russian, and good hospitals nearby. Finding an apartment that fits your due date and budget is something we handle together with SVOY HOME.
