If we give a birth to a child at New Zealand, what is the advantage?

We have a plan to settle at New Zealand in future. If we give a birth to a child at New Zealand, what is the advantage? If we give birth at India, what is the advantage?

Just by giving birth in NZ will not mean your child would be a NZ citizen; you have to meet the residency requirements. The Citizenship Act 1977 provides that a person born in New Zealand on or after 1 January 2006 will only acquire New Zealand citizenship if, at the time of their birth, at least one of the child鈥檚 parents was a New Zealand citizen or had the right to reside in New Zealand indefinitely...Check out the first web link...

The best advantage is not to give birth! Planet Earth struggles to sustain the current population, so why create more humans? Besides, would you want your children to be responsible for sorting out the mess the previous generations have made?

Earth can not sustain the existing human population indefinitely, not including the current population growth. The planet's resources are quickly dwindling without replacements. One logical solution to this problem is population control. Since the world can not indefinitely support the entire human population, then the world's population needs to decrease to a level so that the planet can sustain both humanity and wildlife indefinitely.

A related Indian web site reported "India's population is at present about 1,000,840,000. Only around 52.5 per cent of this huge number of people are literate - not educated, but literate. The vast majority are, in other words, barely able to read and write." Please check out the third web link.

If you must have children, then please adopt one. Provide a good home to a child who needs stability and love. There are countless children already here, who have no caring adults in their lives. Be kind to yourself and to the planet. Take care of what we have now and don't procreate, please.

If you are comparing places, then consider that the majority of New Zealanders are educated, (required to attend school till 15 or 16 years of age). New Zealand is a wonderful place to live. I have no first hand experience of India. I don't mean to sound cruel, but you should really consider the hard facts. I can see why you would want to live in New Zealand but really, there is no advantage (at least not for the future of the planet) for giving birth to a child (in either country).

it will be a kiwi baby !

the advantage will be your child will be a new zealand citizen, who is entitled to a new zealand passport, free hospital care etc.

If you child was born in NZ they would become a NZ citizen and have all the advantages of one. If they were born in India they would be a Indian citizen and have all the advantages being a Indian citizen. If you plan to move there permanently then try to have the baby in NZ, but if you plan to move back then have the baby in India.

kiwis are more intellegent

what do you mean?if you have your child in New Zealand untill you do not have New Zealand Citizenship your child will have your nationality...and it takes 5 years to get that....the advantage of having your child in India is that he or she will have more chance of survival if his/her mother has a complication....New Zealand Hospitals are very short of staff....it is safer to have your child in your home country where you have family and support...where you know which hospital is the best....

User 'yankiwi' is 100% correct - make sure you read her answer thoroughly!

Hi, If you are pregant before you come to NZ the child may not be born a NZ'er. In fact you will have to pay for all the costs of having your baby here. I do know for a fact that it will be hard for you to get visa' and work permints if you are pregnant. So word of advise. Get you papers sorted to become a resident before having children. It can be a long process otherwise. All the best.
