By giving birth in new zealand isbit automatically citizen

In New Zealand, the answer is generally yes, but with some exceptions. Here's a breakdown:

Automatic citizenship for children born in New Zealand:

• If one or both parents are New Zealand citizens or permanent residents, the child is automatically a New Zealand citizen at birth, regardless of their parents' immigration status.
• If the child is born in New Zealand, they are considered to be a New Zealand citizen, even if their parents are not citizens or permanent residents.

Exceptions:

• If the child's parents are not citizens or permanent residents, but they are in New Zealand on a temporary visa (e.g., work visa, student visa, or visitor visa), the child may not automatically be a New Zealand citizen.
• In these cases, the child may be eligible for New Zealand citizenship through a separate application process, but this is not automatic.

Additional requirements:

• To be eligible for New Zealand citizenship, the child's parents must meet certain requirements, such as:
  • The child's parents must have been physically present in New Zealand for at least 1,350 days (approximately 3.7 years) in the 4 years leading up to the child's birth.
  • The child's parents must have been lawfully present in New Zealand for at least 1,350 days (approximately 3.7 years) in the 4 years leading up to the child's birth.

What to do if you're unsure:

• If you're unsure about your child's citizenship status, you can contact the New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) or consult with a lawyer specializing in immigration law.

Remember, it's always a good idea to verify your child's citizenship status to ensure they have the necessary documentation and rights.
