Hi guys,
I have two questions.
1.
My family has been approved for residency, we got our residency visas stamped, but haven't activated yet. In the mean time my wife got preganant.
Based on my understanding of the following statement
From 1 January 2006, children born in New Zealand (or in the Cook Islands, Niue or Tokelau) acquire New Zealand citizenship at birth only if at least one of their parents:
is a New Zealand citizen; or
is entitled to be in New Zealand indefinitely in terms of the Immigration Act 2009 (i.e. has a residence permit or visa, or is an Australian citizen or permanent resident); or
is entitled to reside indefinitely in the Cook Islands, Tokelau or Niue.
although we are not PRs if baby is born in NZ it will be NZ citizen by birth because my wife and I
will have our residency visas activated. Is my understanding correct? Anybody had similar situation?
2.
Regarding the pregnancy
We plan to travel to NZ when my wife is 7 months preganant, what should we do when we land in Auckaland? Should we just go to Auckland Hospital and they will tell us what to do, like assign an obstetrician? Or should we do anything before we go to NZ?
Thanks
