I would like to ask if anyone recently have a newborn in NZ while parents on Resident Visa status (not Permanent Resident yet) about baby citizenship status.
I have checked online and it says clearly (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)) and even in this forum many people talked about the same point.
However, Yesterday I checked directly with dia/citizenship and they said only Permanent Resident and even it's mentioned with key words (Permanent Resident) in birth registration form
I believe there is no different between Resident Visa and Permanent except the travel conditions
Please, my question, Is there anyone recently had a baby with the same status while their visa is Resident (not permanent) and what is the citizenship of your baby?
Really appreciate your kind help, since for me, it will be such as difficult to get him a passport from my original country
Thanks
