In this video, we break down birthright citizenship (Jus Soli) and answer the question: can you really get a passport just by having a baby in another country?
After having our first child in Thailand, we constantly get asked whether she received Thai citizenship — and the answer surprises most people.
We explain:
• What Jus Soli (birthright citizenship) actually means
• Which countries automatically grant citizenship at birth
• Which countries have restrictions
• Which regions do NOT offer it at all
• The reality of having a baby overseas as digital nomads
• Our personal experience giving birth abroad
