Nationality of children born in Singapore

The nationality of the baby is determined by the nationality of both parents, both of whom are Singapore citizens. There is no doubt that the child is a Singapore citizen from birth.

One of the parents is a Singapore citizen, and the child was a Singapore citizen when he was born in Singapore. However, if one parent is a China citizen and has not obtained the right of abode in Singapore (permanent resident), the baby will be temporarily judged as having "dual nationality" and the nationality will be decided at 2 1 year. One of the baby's parents is a citizen of China and has not been granted permanent residency in Singapore. After the baby is born in Singapore, it will acquire Singapore citizenship and China citizenship.

Usually, when a child is born, the nationality of the child is determined according to the identity of the parents. If one parent is a citizen of China and has not obtained a foreign green card, the child can apply for a travel permit to return to China and settle the child in China. Domestic settlement requires the baby's birth certificate, which is a document after three-level certification. For countries that implement the principle of landing, such as the United States, children can be naturalized in the United States after birth. Those who are not naturalized in the United States can return to China and settle in China with a travel permit. They are citizens of China, and those who return to China with visas cannot settle in China.
