Dear all,
I have a question and I hope someone has an answer to it. Personally, I have a ROA HK ID Card (I have the permanent HK ID Card and HKSAR passport, based on the fact that my parents did not have permanent residency when I was born in '80s in NL). Since I have both the NL and Chinese nationality, my children will only obtain the Chinese nationality (next to the Dutch nationality, as NL permits dual nationality if obtained by birth), if they were born in Hong Kong or China.
My wife is now pregnant and we have decided to give birth in HK, so our child can get the Chinese nationality next to the Dutch nationality. The only question I have is the following. How exactly is the registration at the HK hospital when our child is born? To be more precise, what will be registered on the birth certificate in terms of nationality of the parents? Becasue I am wondering whether I should be mentioned as Dutch or HK Chinese (technically, I am both). The fear is that when I register as Chinese, the Dutch government might question it and if I register as Dutch, the Chinese government might question. I am not quite sure, but maybe there is no nationality mentioned in a HK birth certificate, but I have never seen one before.
If someone knows more about it (maybe you just gave birth in HK), I would welcome any suggestion, thanks!
