child born in China

[xiaoqiaodan]

If I was to have a child born in China, would this child increase the financial requirement? I am British, my wife is Chinese.

From the research I have done should be able to register the child birth and then get them a British passport and renounce the Chinese citizenship...

This should then keep the financial requirement at 18600 right?

Anyone got experience of this?

Thanks

If you are British and born or naturalised in the uk your child will automagically be British when born abroad - British by descent. You will not need an additional amount under the financial requirement as the child will be British - you can apply for a British passport after birth.
