Foreign babies were born in China, how to calculate their nationality? How difficult is it to get Chinese nationality?
Our China, with a long history and profound culture, has developed rapidly over the years, attracting the attention of many foreign friends, and some foreign friends even hope that their next generation can grow up in this land, so there is a question: can foreign children born in China automatically become small citizens of China?
Or, for those foreign friends who want to become Chinese nationals, how should they go down this road? Today, let's talk about it.
1. Can a foreign child born in China become a Chinese baby?
Let's talk about China's nationality policy first. Our country is very strict in the management of nationality, and just like us, we must have a rule.
Under normal circumstances, a child born to a foreigner in China cannot directly become a Chinese citizen. But there's an exception to everything, isn't there?
If one of the foreign couples is a Chinese citizen and he or she has a permanent residence in China, the child they give birth to is entitled to choose their nationality.
It's like having a Chinese relative at home, and the child has a choice. But we have to pay attention to it, we in China do not recognize dual nationality. In other words, if the child wants to become a Chinese citizen, he must make a choice before the age of 18 and go through the relevant procedures.
2. How difficult is it to get Chinese nationality?
Okay, let's talk about the nationality of foreign children born in China, now let's talk about those foreign friends who want to obtain Chinese nationality, how difficult their road is.
First of all, we have to understand the fact that China's requirements for immigrants are very strict, you think, our China has a long history and unique culture, and naturally not just anyone can join. Every year, many foreign friends want to immigrate to China, but very few can really succeed.
For those who want to restore Chinese nationality, it is even more difficult, we have to know that if you want to restore Chinese nationality, it is not as simple as saying a word.
First of all, you have to apply to the public security organs for the restoration of your nationality, and you have to submit a lot of materials, including identity certificates, household registration certificates, declarations of renunciation of foreign nationality, etc., all of which must go through strict review and investigation to ensure that you sincerely want to become a Chinese citizen.
Then, you have to wait for the notice of the public security organ and go to the designated place for the interview and assessment. This interview and assessment is not a joke, they will examine your political position, moral character, cultural literacy, etc. Only those who pass these examinations may be approved to restore their Chinese nationality.
Of course, this is not the end, if you have been approved to restore your Chinese nationality, then there are still a lot of procedures to be done, you have to apply for a Chinese resident ID card, hukou migration, etc. These procedures must be handled in accordance with the regulations of our country, and they cannot be sloppy at all.
Especially in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, it is even more difficult to obtain Chinese nationality, these cities have higher requirements for immigrants, and the review of application materials is stricter, and some people even have to run back and forth several times in order to go through these procedures, spending a lot of time and energy.
Moreover, the process of obtaining Chinese nationality is not achieved overnight, it has to be reviewed and approved by multiple departments, and it takes a long time to wait. Some people have waited for several years and have not been able to successfully handle it. Therefore, those who want to obtain Chinese nationality must be prepared to fight a protracted battle.
3. Summary
