Hello everybody,
I just found out this week that I'm 6 weeks preganant! My hubby and I are thrilled!
Both hubby and I are Singapore Citizens. We are currently living and working in Australia and both of us are Australian PRs. We are in a dilemma as to where we should give birth to our child.
We would like to stay in Australia in the next 3-5 years. I understand that if my child is born in Australia, he/she will automatically become an Australian Citizen as we are PRs. I also understand that if my child is born in Australia, he/she can become Singapore Citizen by descent. My mum and MIL are willing to take turns to stay with me in Aussie for 2 month periods to help me look after my child.
Anyone else also in same situation as us? I would like to hear what are the advantages/disadvantages if my child is born in Singapore. Thanks!
Natalie
