HK allows 2 nationalities whereas the Netherlands only allows one. I have no idea how it works as I saw many second gernation HKnese hold the 回乡证as well, which mean there is always space to play ...
Hello, thanks for the reply!
I have here some remarks and questions about your reply.......
I asked the city hall, IND and HK immigration dept. I'm sure that HK citizens can't keep both naitonalities once you get the Dutch one. When u ask for the Dutch nationality (naturalisatie), you have to hand in your HK passport(s) to them (i.e. also your Chinese natinality). According to the rules in China (include HK), you can't keep 2 nationalities also.
For the HKID card, you can still keep it if you ever have lived or living in HK for at least 7 years or longer. About the 回乡证, as long as you have HKID card, you can apply for it, doesn't matter what kind of nationality you have. So actually I think there's no trick, but it's the rules. And that also means, even you get the Dutch natinality, you can still go to China WITHOUT visa.
Travelling to the US (not the whole North America) and Australia, yes indeed you need to have visa for HK citizens, but on the other hand, how often I will go there for travel? Once in a few years? or even less ..........from my memories and experiences of my friends and families in HK, as long as you have a permanent work contract, enough income and savings, It shouldn't be a problem to get it.
By the way, there's a rule coming that holder of Dutch passport need a visa for travelling to the US. So I don't see there's really a big difference btw the HK and Dutch passport in the aspect of travelling.
"And your only concern is that your Dutch PR will be lifted as if you leave for certain period."
Dutch PR , Do you mean the Dutch permannent resident permit?
How long is this "certain period" actually?
According to your reply, do you think I better get the Dutch passport?
Are there still more important differences btw these 2 identities?
Anyone know more about that?
