Accidental birth in a non Schengen country. What next?

sznowicki@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 51 points –

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?

So you can cross the border with a proof of birth only? No special agreement with the inbound country?

She'll need to work with the home country to get baby issued appropriate citizenship and identity documents, but just to travel home? Birth cert and mother's docs should be enough.

This is a really good question. Today I learned something.
