A bit of a background:
I'm a SC by registration currently on a study visa in Canada.
My wife whom I legally married in Canada is also a temporary resident in Canada and a non-resident in Singapore.
We are expecting a daughter soon and I understand due to jus soli she will be Canadian by birth. She would not be a SC by descent in this case.
Due to the temporary nature of our status in Canada, I'm weighing my options.
One of the options I am considering is to apply for SC for the child (by registration?). Wondering if anybody has done something similar before. Did you do that before or after returning to Singapore?

Re: SC by registration for child born overseas while overseas?
Once you obtain the birth certificate of your child, simply login to ICA website and apply Singapore citizenship for your child. U can do so before they reach 1 years old, best to do it earlier rather than later.
The child will then have 2 citizenships, you have ample time to decide which citizenship the child keeps. But remember if it is a male child, NS will be waiting for him in Singapore.

Re: SC by registration for child born overseas while overseas?
I did that before bringing the kid to SG. Immediately after my kid was born overseas, i applied for SC within 10 days of birth and got it approved in 1 month.Playmore132 wrote: ↑Fri, 01 Jul 2022 7:32 amA bit of a background:

My kid was on a temporary visa overseas and had no other citizenship at that time.
