I’m on vacation in Türkiya and wonder: what happens when let’s say a pregnant woman goes on vacation and for whatever reason gives birth there.

How can she take the newborn back to her country? Need to prepare all the papers in the embassy or there’s some special procedure for such cases so the paper work can be done in a country she resides normally?

    Depends on the citizenship rules of the particular countries involved (jus sanguinis vs. jus soli and details thereof).

    If a mother from a jus sanguinis country gives birth in a jus soli country the kid might have dual citizenship. In the opposite situation, the kid might theoretically be born stateless, although I’m pretty sure actual nationality laws make exceptions to prevent that in practice.

      For reference:

      • Jus sanguinis: citizenship based on parentage
      • Jus soli: citizenship based on location
