Citizenship Rules

From 1 January 2006, children born in New Zealand (or in the Cook Islands, Niue or Tokelau) will acquire New Zealand citizenship at birth only if at least one of their parents:

is a New Zealand citizen; or

is entitled to be in New Zealand indefinitely in terms of the Immigration Act 1987(ie a residence permit holder or Australian citizen); or

is entitled to reside indefinitely in the Cook Islands, Tokelau or Niue.

He or she will be a dual passport holder so how cool is that?

Previously any baby born in NZ could claim NZ citizenship but now you have to at least have PR.
