    After providing necessary supporting documents, it will take 2 to few months to complete the process. For my case, it took only 2 months.

    So Kanhai, your case is abnormal. Are you still waiting?
    Can you apply for the natularized chinese after getting the ROA? Or you hneed to wait sometime after getting the ROA before applying for a naturalized chinese?

    Can apply now

    As far as I know, you can apply for Naturalized Chinese immediately after you get ROA. There is no need for any waiting period.

    i am Australian passport holder (non ethnic Chinese)HK perm ID 15 years good written Chinese and spoken Cantonese own property here etc and am thinking that a HK passport may help solve the China mainland visa problem which is at present very troublesome and inconveneint

    i wonder if someone would be kind enough to inform me in the process of naturalization as a Chinese citizen

    1. is it a requirement to renounce previous citizenship or provide evidence of such?



    Obviously though i want to keep my Australian passport -after all there must be tens of thousand HK Chinese with dual Australian HK passports

    2.Any PR Aussies here successfully applied for HK passport and so hold both documents as do so many ethnic Chinese here?

    Any advice much appreciated in advance

    Well one would make you Chinese, and the other British.

    One is blue in color, while the other is red.

    One has Chinese characters on it which the other doesn't.

    Just a few off the top of my head.

    2. I think most of them are Chinese Hong Kong born residents who gained Australian citizenship later in life.

    I would say all of them are. There's a big difference between native Chinese citizens (who, at least in the case of HK residents, are tacitly permitted to take a second nationality), and naturalised Chinese citizens (who are explicitly required to renounce, and show that they have renounced, all other citizenships on taking Chinese citizenship).
