Washington cancels 600 visas over birth tourism
The U.S. Department of State announced the cancellation of over 600 visas for foreigners suspected of being involved in "birth tourism," as part of a campaign to track networks that assist women in entering the United States for unofficial childbirth purposes. The campaign focuses on reviewing the activities of visa holders, especially cases where visitor visas are used for undisclosed reasons, documents are forged, or the true purpose of travel is hidden. Data indicates that more than 100 visas linked to "birth tourism" have been canceled in North Africa, and 400 cases are suspected in Europe since the beginning of 2024, with expectations that the campaign will continue to escalate to prevent the exploitation of the visa system.
