US Embassy in China Cracks Down: Visas Pulled for "Birth Tourism," Permanently Barred

W. Syaban

May 05, 2025

The U.S. Embassy in China will deny visa applications associated with "birth tourism," where individuals travel to the United States to have their child born there in order to obtain American citizenship for them.

In a recent post on platform X (previously known as Twitter), the embassy cited a declaration from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs, stating that using the visa system for citizenship via birth is “not acceptable.”

Therefore, individuals recognized as engaging in birth tourism will see their visa applications rejected, and those who violate this rule will be indefinitely prohibited from submitting future applications, the Dimsum Daily reported.

The enforcement actions focus on people planning to leverage the birthright citizenship clause outlined in the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. This constitutional provision ensures that all persons born within the country’s territory gain automatic U.S. citizenship, which offers considerable advantages like streamlined educational opportunities and potential long-term residence permits for their parents once the child turns 21 years old.

This policy shift comes after multiple prominent legal cases. In early this year, Phoebe Dong from California received a sentence of more than three years in jail for running an enterprise that enabled expectant mothers from China to travel to the United States with the purpose of giving birth here. CNN reported.
