Birth in New York: one of the world’s strongest passports and world-class healthcare

A world capital with outstanding hospitals and the historic Brighton Beach neighbourhood. Birthright citizenship for the child — on 30 June 2026 the US Supreme Court definitively upheld it. However, on 6 August 2026 an executive order against birth tourism was signed — we no longer organise trips to the US for childbirth. We do assist with documents for children who have already been born there.

⚠️ 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 New York. 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

New York offers world-class medicine and one of America’s oldest established expat communities. Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn are home to Russian-language shops, doctors, children’s services, and a familiar everyday life just steps from the ocean. A child born in New York automatically receives U.S. citizenship: on June 30, 2026, the Supreme Court definitively upheld birthright citizenship, confirmed by the country’s highest court.

The U.S. passport is the strongest in the world: visa-free access to more than 180 countries, the right to live and work in America, and the ability to sponsor a green card for parents — but only once the child turns 21. The U.S. is the most expensive destination we offer and the only one that grants no status to parents. We say this openly: if your goal is the strongest passport for your child and the best medical care, New York is extraordinary; if the family needs status now — we’ll compare it with Brazil and Mexico.

Hospitals

Where exactly to give birth in New York

🏥

NewYork-Presbyterian

one of the leading hospitals in the USA, with exceptional obstetrics and neonatology

🏥

NYU Langone / Mount Sinai

leading medical centres in Manhattan with programmes for international patients

🏥

Lenox Hill

a well-known hospital in Manhattan — we match you to one based on your due date and budget

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: a consular officer 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 and a confirmed hospital agreement.

Expensive city

New York is one of the most expensive cities in the USA — both healthcare and housing are above average. We calculate the budget in advance and find sensible options in Brooklyn without compromising on quality.

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.

Community and housing

Not alone in an unfamiliar city

New York is part of the SVOY ecosystem: families, vetted doctors, and realtors are already on the ground. Check out SVOY community in New York — life, doctors, schools and everyday living through the eyes of those who have already made the move. We help find accommodation in Brooklyn and Brighton Beach for the time around the birth together with SVOY HOME. For general context on this country, see the page r births in the USA.
