In the context of the war between
Russia and Ukraine
, since last month there has been talk about the arrival of
pregnant Russians who decide to have their children in our country
.
In most cases, their intention is not to stay, but
to obtain the Argentine passport
, which apparently opens
many more doors to the world than the Russian one,
especially in the midst of the war.
"Argentines have achieved, incorporating technology, procedures and work, have one of the safest passports in the world that allows
entry without a visa to 173 countries and obtain it for 10 years in the US
. This is a privilege that we must take care of and a responsibility with those countries", the director of Migrations, Florencia Carignano, said a few days ago and in relation to this issue.
At this time, it is more difficult for Russian citizens
to obtain a visa to enter the United States.
Another problem is that it is even more difficult for them to circulate through the European Union (today they are asked for a visa), while
Argentines have no obstacles
to travel as tourists to a large part of Europe.

What is known about the Russians arriving in the country
More than
10,500 Russian citizens arrived in Argentina in the last year
, coinciding with Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukrainian territory on February 24.
But of those 10,500, more than
7,000 left with their Argentine passport ready or pending.
It has been detected that families arrive to have their babies in Argentina.
The objective is to obtain the passport for the newborn quickly and they leave a proxy here to continue
processing the national passport for adults.
In other words, they do not come to live but to obtain the document that allows them to move
without resorting to their Russian documentation.
Among them there are dissidents of Vladimir Putin and others who are not, but need other passports due to the sanctions imposed by the United States and Europe on Russia and its citizens.
