It is stated that as long as you are legally married at that time to the woman and as a result of the marriage, give birth, the child is able to register for a SG Citizenship. It also mean that the child cannot take up dual citizenships and the child must denounce his/her present citizenship of the country that he/she was borned in. You must of cos be a Singaporean in the first place.

So you mean i had registered with her in that foreign country and given birth to that kid kind of scenario? Like that only the kid can be S'porean but what about the mother?

You must also inform Singapore ROM of your marriage to a foreigner. If she was a former Work Permit Holder, you need to apply for permission at Minitry of Manpower first before going to ROM.

She will probably be granted a long term dependant pass of 1 year. During that time, you can apply for PR status for her. She would not be granted citizenship immediately.

Thanks C.P. So is it better to ROM in S'pore rather than the foreign country?

Yes it is to be on the safer side! If your future wife just to work in SG and hold a Work Permit, you have to go to Ministry of Labour to apply for permission first before going to ROM.

On applying for PR Status, it will depend on a few factor, your income, any criminal records on both parties, whether you have been paying your taxes, both your edcuational levels....etc.

I went thru the same thing as my CO is also a foreigner!

Hmmm...That will be very tricky. Imagine your new born baby is required to register in S'pore within the first year he was bored + she is not yet offically registered with you. Sure hell lot of processing to do.

All you have to do is to inform SG Embassy there if the child is not born in SG.

My first child was born in HK and she is a SG Citizen now!

Well! It got everything to do with it. When you get married, you have sex, when you have sex, you have a baby!

Btw...what has it got to do with you in the first place? If you don't like to read this thread, you can always don't click on this thread.

Once you have informed our SG Embassy there, and once it is approved, the child would be granted a SG Passport from the Embassy itself!
