Hi everyone, my case is a bit complicated here and I really hope someone can shed some light on this.
I was a Chinese citizen born in mainland China before the establishment of HKSAR.
I immigrated to Singapore from China mainland and renounced PRC citizenship in order to acquire Singaporean citizenship in 2000.
I have resided in HKSAR since 2001 and hold HK ROA and PIC now. I know I must have Chinese citizenship in order to have HKSAR pp.
However when I check the HK immigration office's website, it says:
"You are regarded as a person of Chinese nationality if you are a Hong Kong resident:
(a) of Chinese descent who was born in Hong Kong or other parts of China; or
(b) who fulfils the criteria of Chinese nationality in the Nationality Law of the People's Republic of China.
"
It's a bit confusing since I have already renounced PRC citizenship but basic law still recognizes me of Chinese nationality as I am born in China, therefore fulfills (a).
So, am I eligible for a HKSAR passport? If not, I am willing to renounce Singapore citizenship to get one.
