I pick and arrange all my own flowers, Jerry!
I really need to ask a stupid question here ..... I traveled back to NZ when I was in the first trimester with DD#1. DH and I had travel insurance. Nothing happened but we are very boring people who always have travel insurance when we go o/seas. This couple (and the other couple who had their baby in Canada) both had travel insurance - someone mentioned earlier about whether pregnancy was a "pre-existing condition" - does this mean that the insurance only covers the mum and NOT the baby ?? Can you actually get travel insurance to cover the mum AND the baby if you are pregnant ?? Like I said - it's a stupid question - and I don't know the answer.

QUOTE (Lib @ 08/04/2012, 11:07 PM) But is a premmie considered an Australian resident, if they haven't lived in australia yet? My master 3 was born in Australia to a NZ mum and a oz dad. When he was born he wasnt a citizen of anywhere. I had to apply. So for 8 months he was an NZ citizen but had not lived there at all. We then went there on holiday.

My understanding is the cover insures the mum but not a LIVE birth. Covers M/C but not a premmie.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.
So what happens when the baby is due to be discharged and they can't pay the bill?

No stupid questions, just stupid people Some insurances will not cover pregnancy at all because it is a pre-existing condition. Some will cover the mum and her expenses, but not the baby. I don't know if any cover both, but according to one pp, there is at least one that does.

Citizenship and immigration law is quite clear. the fact she is premmie and has not lived in Australia is a completely moot point. Her parents are Australian. As with any child born overseas to Australian citizens all the parents need to do is register her birth at the Australian embassy or consulate. QUOTE The Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) at the Consulate-General in Auckland handles Australian citizenship matters, including the registration of births of children born overseas to Australian parents. I could not find anything so specific on the equivalent US page but The Australian High Commission registers births for Australians overseas. The UK page also speaks of registering Australian citizenship for overseas births.

My snarking is a medical condition.
We actually had to front up to an Embassy with Siobhan for the Australian citizenship by descent.

I still think it's highly dramatic to say she's not an Australian citizen. It's a formality. That's the quality of the journalism, no doubt.

I had post of the day once, until GQ took it away
QUOTE (.Jerry. @ 08/04/2012, 07:14 PM) The insurance company isn't "refusing to pay out". The baby wasn't covered. Simple. Don't go being all logical Jerry, really there's no need for that.

Why on earth would you apply for NZ citizenship for a child resident in Australia and born to an Australian citizen? Surely you applied for dual?
