The United States Embassy in Kampala has issued a series of stringent warnings to Ugandan visa holders and applicants, cracking down on illicit practices that jeopardise future travel to the US.
The recent advisories specifically target individuals attempting to use tourist visas for the primary purpose of giving birth in the US to secure American citizenship for their children.
The US Embassy, in a statement on Tuesday, warned that using a visa primarily for the purpose of giving birth in the United States, solely for the child to acquire US citizenship, is strictly prohibited.
The Embassy noted that these costs are ultimately passed on to the American taxpayer, and parents engaging in such practices may find themselves ineligible to renew their visas in the future.
