    HK SAR Passport for baby born in UK

    Hi,

    I am a British citizen by descent (so I can stay in UK permanently) and my wife is holding BNO with sprouse visa at the moment. Both of us has 3* HKID. My wife also has HKSAR passport.

    If my baby is going to born in UK, can he/she gets the HKSAR passport?

    Thanks

    no, your future can not apply for hk passport or later in life a hkid card until he or she lived continous for 7 years, if after 18, only a working visa will allow them to live in hk unless they marry a hk pr id holder

    unfortunately, this is the case of any child born outside of hk after 1997

    If you can pass down your British nationality to your child born in the UK, the child will be a Chinese national with the right of abode in HK and eligible for HKSAR passport if its mother has not settled out of China at the time of the child's birth.

    If you cannot pass down your British nationality to your child born in the UK, your child will be a Chinese national with the right of abode in HK and eligible for HKSAR passport as long as its mother has not renounced her Chinese nationality at the time of the child's birth.
