Pregnant Russians flock to Argentina seeking new passpo...

Over the past year, Argentine immigration authorities have noticed flights packed with dozens of pregnant Russians. Some of the new arrivals say they intend to build a life in the South American country. But local officials suspect that many of the Russians are focused on getting Argentine passports. Children born in Argentina automatically receive citizenship, and having an Argentine child speeds up the process for the parents to obtain residency permits and eventually passports. Crucially, the navy blue booklets allow entry to 171 countries without a visa, a backup plan that Russians believe could come in handy. Due to sanctions, Russians have also had trouble opening bank accounts abroad, something an Argentine passport could solve.
