As more and more foreigners are rushing into China, the numbers of newborn foreign babies and half-breed are also increasing. The biggest concern for them is visa.
Apply for a passport and visa
After the baby is born in China, their parents need to apply a passport and visa for them.
Notarization
First of all, go to the local notary public office to do the notarization.
Passport
Secondly, they need to go to their mother country’s consulate in China to applyfor the passport and the time depends on the local consulate.
Nationality Approval
Thirdly, they can go to the local Immigration Administration to do the nationality approval to confirm his or her foreign nationality identity.
Visa
Then, they can finally apply for a visa (family residence visa) on the local Immigration Administration, which usually takes 7 days. According to the rules of government, all the procedures will be finished within 60 days.
Remarks: the procedures of every local government would be a little different.
Get registration when the procedures can’t be finished on time
If the local consulate replies that the above procedures cannot be finished within 60 days, then the parents need to go to the Immigration Administration to get registration for the baby. After that, they will be given another 120 days to finish the above procedures.
In addition, if the baby is half-breed, which means one of his/her parents is a Chinese citizen, the baby has the right to apply for Chinese citizenship.
