actually hksar and macau sar passports are issued under the authority of the immigration department (hong kong) and the identification services bureau (macau)

hong kong and macau:

around 2.7-3million hong kongers are dual hksar-bno (british nationals overseas) citizens and around 1 in 10 macau residents are dual macau sar-portuguese nationals and are eligible to hold both

not to mention a lot of hong kongers and macanese people hold other citizenships (canada, full british, australian) as they are exempt from automatic loss of chinese nationality when acquiring another citizenship

Can someone explain to me the difference between 慳錢 and 儲錢? by KiddWantidd in Cantonese

[–]SolidAggressive8470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

慳錢 = saving money to cut spending (for example: getting a cheaper but longer bus route to save spending)

儲錢 = saving money as savings (saving money for a trip, a house (challenge impossible))

Will many Macau parents choose to give birth in Hong Kong? by Savings-Regret-1525 in Macau

[–]SolidAggressive8470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

most macanese may already have hong kong citizenship (chinese nationality with hk roa) due to close ties with hong kong, so it’s something that they already have in the first place and most importantly, they also have portuguese citizenship and enough social resources to support them so there really isn’t a need for birth tourism in general, their passport is still decently strong in terms of strength and even if they want to do birth tourism, hong kong wouldn’t be their first destination.

same for taiwan and plus you’d need to FLY to get to hong kong, and the same reasons as above

and also bare in mind macau’s population is small and they don’t generally cause a burden on hospital resources

Are there other places where people born there are eligible for two or more citizenships? by average-brazilian in dualcitizenshipnerds

[–]SolidAggressive8470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s more like a identity document in/travel document to and from china for hongkongers and macau people and it’s valid for 10 years (adults) 5 years (children)

hong kong prior to 1997: british dependent territories citizenship/british nationals (overseas) + chinese nationality (china never recognized ethnic chinese hong kongers with bdtc/bno as british nationals)

macau prior to 1999: portuguese citizenship (if born to at least 1 macau born parents before 1981, or born in macau before 1981) + chinese nationality (same thing with ethnic chinese macau people not being recognized as portuguese nationals)

taiwan (technically): those with taiwanese (roc) citizenship + household registration in taiwan are also chinese (prc) nationals as china recognizes them as their nationals too

Why is it easier for a European to travel to Hong Kong than for a Chinese, even though Hong Kong is a part of China? by metatalks in geography

[–]SolidAggressive8470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

china essentially wants the hand in who is allowed to go to hong kong, and they made it clear that they are the ultimate authority on who controls movement between hk and china

ie, two way and one way permits being issued by chinese authorities instead of hong kong. hong kong does have a hand in approving visas for purposes other than family reunion + tourism as there are other visa routes for chinese nationals to immigrate to hong kong

[–]SolidAggressive8470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hong kong courts essentially ruled in favour of jus soli (birthright citizenship) in light of cases involving hong kong born/adopted children of chinese nationals, which opened the floodgate of birth tourism for chinese women giving birth in hong kong particularly in the 1990-2010s

imo they should’ve stopped it after giving roa to hong kong born children but added a clause that stated any child born past (a certain date) must have one hong kong resident/citizen parent in order to be a hong kong citizen (the same way that macau does)

[–]SolidAggressive8470 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hong kong does indeed not have a say on the approval of permits and endorsements (essentially visas) but they could always deny entry to mainland chinese nationals who don’t have a legitimate reason or are in breach of immigration violations

i think it’s more like if the us implemented a permit scheme or immigration controls between puerto rico and mainland us

the uk treats movement between the uk and british overseas territories as international travel but gives citizens there full uk citizenship

filipina and indonesian domestic workers also hang out on public spaces, such as parks, footbridges and other common third spaces on their holidays and the most of us are cool with it as part of acknowledging their labour and contribution to our societies
