A sovereign couple expecting first baby, trying to figure out the chess move - looking at jus solis jurisdictions, dodging forced infant vaccinations, and maximising freedom all at the same time

Under the Sea Ariel, listen to me That world is so messed up Life under the sea is so much better than the world up there You think that in other places The seaweed is greener And you dream of going up there What a big mistake Don't you see that your own world Is incomparable? What could be out there That causes such excitement? Under the sea, under the sea You live happily as a mermaid, you are happy I know they work tirelessly And under the sun, for a change While we always float under the sea The fish are very happy Here they have freedom The fish there are sad Their homes are made of glass The life of our fish Is not usually very long If the owner feels like it They'll eat me Under the sea, under the sea Nobody fries us or cooks us in a pan If you don't want to take a risk Under the sea you will stay And without problems, among bubbles you will live (Under the sea) under the sea (under the sea) There is always rhythm in our natural world (natural) The manta ray will play, the sturgeon will join in There is always rhythm, marine rhythm, under the sea Listen to the flute, listen to the harp And pay attention to the double bass You will see the trumpets and the drum Enjoy your song Yes, With the marimba and the violin The trout flipping, the other singing Not forgetting the swordfish Let the show begin! Yes!, under the sea (under the sea) under the sea (under the sea) There are dancers, they are the sardines, come dance (let's dance) Why do you want to explore If our band is going to play? There are castanets, they are the clams, under the sea And the slugs are so funny under the sea The snail is a saxophonist and the bubbles fill the dance floor So you can dance at this party under the sea

At one point we were considering the Falkland Islands πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡·. Our baby could get two citizenships at birth (Argentina + UK). It turns out that it is not that straightforwarrd - it's possible, but you need to be an actual permanent resident to be eligible. And the Falklands are pretty small - populations is < 5k and healthcare facilities are limited. #argentina #falklands

Review of We contacted this firm for help with some questions around childbirth in Uruguay. We received no reply after 3 emails, so we asked a friend if they could reach out by whatsapp. We got a quick response, and booked a 1 hr consultation for 250 USD, which we were able to pay in Bitcoin. They offered a consultation on Zoom, which we really weren't comfortable with, but they refused to use our preferred (open source) video conference solution. They were 10 minutes late joining the call, and we quickly learned that the specialist did not speak English (only Russian). However there was a translator. We had some back and forth with various questions, and we were advised that having an un-stabbed baby was really not an option. She did say that the vaccines were manufactured in Uruguay, and were "very good vaccines". Changing topic, we asked some residence / tax related questions (apparently uruguay is not a territorial tax jurisdiction), but the advisor was not a tax expert and could not help further. Our translator was smoking a cigarette during the call. We were then told that due to "zoom rules" we needed to break the call for 10 minutes so they could start the call again. We politely declined and thanked them for their time. #uruguay

πŸŽ‰πŸ‘ΆπŸŒ We’re a couple from the EUSSR who recently discovered that we’re contributing a +1 to the world, sometime next year 😊 It turns out that this is not such an easy thing to plan or prepare for. We are currently trying to optimise for the following variables: πŸͺͺ Multiple passports at birth (or shortly thereafter) πŸš«πŸ’‰ Zero vaccinations πŸ₯ Good healthcare We've already done plenty of research, and had calls with various "specialists". In future posts we'd like to share what we have found, and hopefully learn from the experience of those in the community who have been there / done that. In the EU it's completely acceptable to say "no thanks" to vaccinations, but in South America (where all the decent Jus Solis jurisdictions exist), it's basically mandatory to have your baby stabbed at birth! #introductions
