Imagine being born and already having a leg up on your expat journey with a second passport. That’s exactly what our latest newborn son got to experience, even if he’s not quite old enough to be aware of it yet, as my wife and I did the birth tourism thing again and travelled to the country of Chile to give birth to our third child. 

In today’s episode, I will explain our decision to give birth in Chile, the benefits our son will have as a Chilean citizen, the birth experience in Chile itself, and so much more.

Regarding the birth tourism experience itself, I am absolutely thrilled with our decision to head south to Chile and start our son off with the best passport in Latin America, and easily one of the top 20 passports in the world.

While the country has a lot of positives going for it, I would not recommend it as a Plan-B destination simply due to the less-than-ideal tax situation and the painstaking amount of time it takes to gain permanent residency and citizenship. 

Of course, having become a citizen at birth, my son won’t have to deal with that end of the process and will simply get to enjoy the benefits of a Chilean passport. Not a bad way to start off an expat journey if you ask me!

I hope you enjoyed today’s episode, and I’ll see you all next Wednesday.

Into The Amazon—Then Straight To The Beach

This year, I’m taking a private group into the Amazon rainforest—then we head to Fortaleza and explore Brazil’s booming Northeast coast. Think Amazon river cruises, beachfront developments, and wide-open opportunity. From the heart of the rainforest to pristine beaches most people only dream about—this is bucket-list meets Plan-B strategy. If you’ve ever wanted to see the real Brazil and scout investments along the way, this is it. Go to ExpatMoney.com/Brazil.
