Hi guys,
I think I overlooked something...
My son now has a British passport and we're planning to head back to the UK for Christmas. So far so good. The main reason we opted to sorting out the British passport first is that it doesn't require the baby to be present whereas the HKSAR one does. We're trying to avoid him going out much in the first month (related to moon sitting) and so this seemed a good idea.
But I've just thought about going through immigration. We'll use the HK residents channel (my wife is a HKPR of Chinese descent so he too has PR status) but we have no proof he's entitled to anything in Hong Kong - just a British passport saying that he was born here - and of course no entry stamp :-)
In the UK there won't be any problem but when we come back to HK, again I can see a problem. We can't prove he has the right to anything in HK so is he going to need a visa or waiver or something?
I'm planning to take his HK birth certificate with us but I'm not sure how much use that would be. We will try applying for the HKSAR passport and HKID if needed - we were planning to do that in January anyway...
So... any thoughts? :-)
