Can any British or Aussie expats advise me on having a baby here in Vietnam.
Advice regarding birth certificates / citizenship / nationality etc. appreciated.
I hold both British and Australian Passports as a British national who migrated to Australia as an infant I'm only considered an Australian citizen not a native, unfortunately.
I asked the Australian consulate for advice and they sent me a link to a webpage about how my child can apply for a citizenship, it was a little confusing I must say. I'm not sure how an infant is supposed to fill in all the forms (joke). My point is it isn't directed towards a parent bringing a child home, its directed to the child as if she were already an adult.
My wife told me sometimes doctors here can do something about birth certificates if the father is a foreigner, but I haven't any further information than that. Does anyone have any experience in this matter they could perhaps share with me?
