Birth with a Russian-speaking doula, public maternity hospital
2 500 $
licensed doula: two prenatal consultations, birth plan, labour support with interpretation and non-medication pain relief, one month of postnatal support. ⚠️ this is doula work, not the birth itself: in a public maternity hospital under SUS the birth itself is free for foreigners
Prices are in US dollars: the Brazilian real fluctuates, and the entire expat maternity market quotes in dollars. Government fees are paid separately and directly to the authority: residence application processing 168.13 BRL and CRNM resident card 204.77 BRL — together approximately $65. CPF registration at Receita Federal is free. The maternity ward fee (shared room $2,400, private room $3,150) is billed separately everywhere except the ’Turnkey Birth’ and ’All-Inclusive’ tiers. Russian citizens do not need a visa: 90 days visa-free within each 180-day period.
SVOY initial consultation — 100 $, credited toward the cost support. All services and packages in Brazil
How it works in Brazil
Delivery takes place at a private clinic under contract with a doctor; the room is billed separately from the obstetrician’s fee. The public SUS system accepts r births free of charge, including for foreigners — this option exists, and we talk about it. The child receives citizenship on the day of birth regardless of the parents’ status.
What we need from you to get started
- Maternity record and prenatal monitoring results
- Parents’ passports
- Contract with the clinic and chosen doctor
- Health insurance for the duration of your stay
Where things most often go wrong
- —They compared the price of one package with another, forgetting that most agency deliveries are charged on top of it
- —Didn’t account for the cost of the ward: it’s calculated separately
- —Arrived too late for a doctor to take over prenatal care
The main mistake when comparing is focusing on the package headline. What you need to calculate is the total the full amount: support plus delivery plus the ward.
Fees, processing times, and institutional requirements change several times per year, which is why they are not listed here: we verify and quote them as of the date of submission.
