Hi,
I have the British citizenship by my parents, although I was born in HK, I have been living in the UK for more than 15years since I came to UK for my GCSE.
My wife is a HK citizen.
Our baby will be born this December. As we are first time parents living on our own in the UK, our parents (the grandparents) want us to go back to HK to give birth. But I am still not sure about this, unless someone can help with the following legal questions:
***I'm wondering how can we take the baby back to the UK after he is born in HK.
- Can we apply for British passport for the baby before we come back to the UK?
- I am sure my baby will be entitled to apply for the HK birth certificate and HKSAR passport, but then if we apply for a visa to get the baby into the UK, will we be questioned at the UK Immigration on why we don't apply UK passport for the baby? (as I am UK citizen and both me and my wife are living in the UK)
Both me and my wife are working in the UK, so I am just taking my annual leave (while my wife will be taking her maternity leave), thus we have to go back to the UK taking the baby with us.
Would someone please share your experience or offer your advice on this?
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
