Can Koreans get a China hukou when they give birth in China?

Hello!

Your friend and his wife are both Korean nationals, so the nationality and household registration of their children born in China belong to Korea.

According to Korean laws and regulations, children born abroad by Korean male and female citizens can automatically acquire Korean nationality. However, if the children are allowed to have dual citizenship according to the laws of the host country and their personal wishes, their Korean citizenship can be retained until the age of military service, when they choose one; You can also cancel Korean nationality and become a foreigner directly.

However, China is not an immigrant country, and generally does not accept foreigners to become citizens of China, except under certain conditions, and the right of permanent residence is strictly controlled.

Therefore, if your Korean friends and couples have obtained permanent residency in China, their children born in China can naturally obtain permanent residency, that is, they have China hukou, the household registration of foreigners, but it is impossible to join China nationality; If your Korean friends and couples only legally live in China on a general long-term visa, such as a work visa, it is impossible for their children born in China to obtain a China hukou.
