It wouldn't make sense for HK to force half the population to renounce their overseas passports just so that they can have a HK passport. HK is special b/c it encourages foreign blood. I am a EU and Canadian citizen and I applied to ID card, return-to-motherland card, passport no problem and I know people who has more.

i'm dutch as well, and i'm allowed to have both passports... why not have two then? at least you'll be allowed to travel to practically any country in the world without a visa...

Eh? Which countries does a HK passport allow you to travel to without a visa that a Dutch/EU one does not?

[ChanyForLife]

umm.. the big major difference would be mainland china... but almost every other country is about the same i think...

More passports = better. No two ways about it.

Except a US one, you want to get rid of that as soon as you can.

Sounds like it's about time I get my HK passport.

Unless the passport bring obligations such as lifelong worldwide tax, or national service or liability to conscription.

That's an interesting point. Do Americans continue to pay US income tax on their worldwide earnings even if they give up their passport for that of another country?

[PDLM]

Under US law they are liable for US taxes for 10 years after they give up their citizenship. This is of course outrageous and totally unenforceable internationally, but if you ever want to set foot in the USA again then you'd need to do it.
