I have also found out that Baby would require a visa issued and registration done here in India as well or it will not be allowed out of the country. So the procedure looks like this.....
1. Baby is born
2. Register baby's birth in India (not sure how long this will take)
3. Apply for Indian birth cert once we have registered (not sure how long this will take)
4. Apply for NZ citizenship (20 days)
5. Apply for passport (10 days)
6. Wait for Documents in the post (?10 days max)
7. Apply for visa here in India (not sure how long this will take)
8. Apply for registration (not sure how long this will take)
So it is quite a procedure which would usually not be a problem apart form the pain of paper work, but, our spanner in the works is that we do not have time on our hands due to our expiring visas at that time. Not sure what they would do with a new born not allowed to leave the country and parents that have to. Surely they would have to give some sort of extension for a while. It is sounding like leaving early might be the way to go but we have a wedding of some very special friends here in India and I would be so sad to miss it. There is still time for the Business things to have some amazing miracle happen, That would solve all the problems.
