More than 5,000 pregnant Russian women have entered Argentina in recent months.
It is believed the women want to make sure their babies are born in Argentina to obtain Argentine citizenship.
The local media says the reason for rapid increase is a result of the war in Ukraine.
According to the migration agency ,
the Russian women have claimed they were visiting Argentina as tourists.
Some didn’t come here to engage in tourism activities.
They wanted their children to have Argentine citizenship because it gave more freedom than a Russian passport.
Argentina passport is very secure across the world. It allows passport-holders to enter 171 countries visa-free.
On the other hand Russians can travel visa-free to only 87 countries.
Having an Argentine child also speeds up the citizenship process for parents.
And Russian women are attracted by the high-quality medicine and variety of hospitals.
Therefore Birth tourism by Russian citizens to Argentina appears to be a profitable business.
The police seems to have started an investigation into this business.
It's maddening news.
Many women in Ukraine are in a very difficult situation..
Nevertheless these rich Russians have done such a thing.
