Children citizenship status
Posted: Thu, 05 Feb 2009 12:19 am
Hi,
We are both Singapore PR (Malaysian citizen) newly wed couple planning to have child early next year. I am curious to find out what will be my child citizenship status if my wife is to give birth in Singapore. Any in-sight and sharing is appreciated.
- will my child by default a SPR or Singaporean during child birth registration in Singapore?
- do I have to register my child birth immediately in Malaysia in case we would like our child to be a Malaysian citizen in future?
- how is it possible for my child to be exempted from NS being a 2nd generation of SPR?

Failing that, put the child on an LTSVP and then on a Student Visa and do not get PR for the child. Otherwise, if it's a male, he will have to do NS.
