| GUESTJONA | hello.. i am a Filipino married to a Chinese citizen here in China. My son is born in the Philippines and holding a Philippine passport. From the comments, I've learned that i cannot have a dual citizenship but i would like to ask about my son. It was said that he is already a Chinese citizen because his father is a Chinese. But he still needs to apply for the Chinese citizenship. What are the requirements if i will apply for his Chinese citizenship? Your help is truly appreciated. (i cannot open the websitehttp://www.chinaembassy-fi.org/ |

| GUEST44104 | The ins and outs of Chinese citizenship is outlined in China’s Nationality Law, adopted by the National People’s Congress on September 10, 1980. The Law includes 18 Articles that broadly explain China’s citizenship policies including: * China is a unitary multinational state: All nationalities (ethnic minorities) that exist within China have Chinese citizenship. (Article 2) * China does not allow dual citizenship (Article 3) * A person born in China to at least one parent who is a Chinese national is a Chinese citizen. (Article 4) * A person born outside of China to at least one parent who is a Chinese national is a Chinese citizen -- unless one parent has settled outside of China and has acquired foreign nationality status. (Article 5) * A person born in China to stateless parents or parents of uncertain nationality who have settled in China will have Chinese citizenship. (Article 6) * A Chinese national who voluntarily becomes a foreign national in another country will lose Chinese citizenship. (Article 9) * Chinese nationals can renounce their Chinese citizenship through an application process provided have settled abroad, have close relatives that are foreign nationals, or have other legitimate reasons. (Article 10) * State officials and active military personnel cannot renounce their Chinese nationality. (Article 12) * Those who once held Chinese nationality but are currently foreign nationals can apply to restore Chinese citizenship and renounce their foreign citizenship if there are legitimate reasons. (Article 13) How Foreigners can Become Chinese Citizens: Article 7 of the Nationality Law states that foreigners who will abide by the Chinese Constitution and laws can apply to be naturalized as Chinese citizens if they meet one of the following conditions: 1. They have close relatives who are Chinese nationals. 2. They have settled in China 3. They have other legitimate reasons. In China, local Public Security Bureaus will accept applications for citizenship. If applicants are abroad, citizenship applications are handled at Chinese embassies and consular offices. After they are submitted, the Ministry of Public Security will examine and approve or dismiss applications. If approved, it will issue a certificate of citizenship. |

 | But foreigners who do not have a Chinese parent should not expect to get citizenship based on Article 7: it is the view of most foreigners that citizenship is rarely granted. The only people who get it have invested large millions or done some special service for the nation. From all I've heard, most people shouldn't waste their time trying. BUT I would love to be contradicted by people who have gained citizenship for no more reason than being married to a citizen and working as a teacher., for example. |
