    Does my child become a Swedish citizen if I give birth in Sweden?
    I'm not currently pregnant, I'm just thinking ahead for the future. I would love my child to have double citizenship for the US and Sweden. My husband is a native born Swede. I adore Sweden and would love to give birth there one day. But I don't see much point in traveling all the way there to give birth, if my baby doesn't get any kind of citizenship.

    Any insight on this would be great. (:

    No, very few nations follow the rules that he US has. Normally most nations require you be born to a parent who is a citizen.
    So you or the babies father would have to be a swiss citizen for the chlld to be swiss at birth.

    I had a great link, but lost it when I lost interent for a bit
