cobay

A COBAY, or "Child of a Born Abroad," is a child born outside a country to parents who are citizens of that country, often with some residency or registration requirements. This status allows the child to acquire nationality through their parents' citizenship, ensuring legal recognition and rights within that country. Essentially, COBAYs are internationally born children who inherit their nationality from their parents, which can impact their legal status, access to services, and rights in their parents’ home country.
