Indian father, Bangladeshi mother, a baby expect to be born in Ireland
<p>This is my first post in this community.</p>
<p>I am an ordinary Indian passport holder, I am in Dublin, doing full-time Ph.D. studies since October 2018 on a stamp 2 student visa. <a href="http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/inis/pages/registration-stamps" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/inis/pages/registration-stamps</a></p>
<p>My wife joined me in Dublin last year January, as an immediate dependent family-member with me and she has given me a stamp 2A visa. She holds a Bangladeshi passport.</p>
<p>A baby is expected to be born in September in Dublin. What passport we should apply for, for the baby? Indian/Bangladeshi/Irish?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<li>Your child probably does not qualify for Irish <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_nationality_law#Acquisition_of_citizenship" rel="nofollow noreferrer">birth citizenship</a> since residence of the parent on a student visa does not count.</li>
<li>Your child probably does qualify for Indian citizenship since you are Indian and/or for Bangladeshi citizenship since the mother is Bangladeshi. Applying for both would make the child a dual citizen, which appears to be discouraged by Indian law.</li>

<p>Citizenship is such a serious matter that it might be a good idea to consult a lawyer. Before you do that, you could ask on Expatriates Stack Exchange so you know the right questions to ask.</p>
