Here's what you need to know: If you are temporary residents, a NZ-born child will not be a NZ citizen by birth.

Whether child gets parents nationality depends on a. what nationalties parents have and b. how they obtained their nationality (birth, descent, naturalisation, etc). Many possible permutations.

Re: Having a baby in NZ

Now I'm reading "baby" in the thread title with "churpy" in your name underneath and think you're having a "burpy" ... but then I'm easily confused ...:o
