Players getting Chinese nationality

Is there something I'm missing here or does paperwork get lost a lot in China?

wow, that is strange... Are you manager of China or a Chinese team

Chinese team. By my calculations he's been waiting 12 years for paperwork. You'd think he'd have said something?

When did he apply? Perhaps he only decided to become chinese a few weeks ago.

Not sure. I only just took over the team. Thought that sort of thing would happen automatically. Amazed that he's been in the country for over 20 years of his life yet has only just applied for nationality. Who am I to question the researchers though. It's probably the actual case with him. Just found it amazing.

I've seen a couple of cases in my team where players didn't see the benefit of getting the nationality even though they met the requirements. Mostly because they were already playing for their national team. Some changed their minds after a few years so this might be such a case.

I'm not familiar with chinese bureaucracy, so I have no idea how long it would take in the worst case scenario.

Just done some research on the guy. Apparently his birth date is also wrong and I'm quite doubtful he's spent that long in China. He was born in Yugoslavia and played football in Europe between 2000 and beginning 2010. Will post it as a data bug I guess.

Probably a very long interogation process....

Don't believe the Chinese allow dual nationality.

The paperwork system in China is horrendous. A few months ago, I spent most of the day walking between three offices to apply for ID, had to pay for a taxi across town and back to get the picture taken, and was told in the end to come back the following week to finish the rest of the business!

Don't believe the Chinese allow dual nationality.

You're right, dual nationality is not allowed. So do many other countries, but the game assumes dual-nationality is possible with any country (when in real life the original citizenship could be revoked, etc.)

i always though FM had it built it that you couldn't get dual nationality with a Chinese nationality :confused: maybe i dreamt it

i think this may be another issue besides it being chinese because i tried to sign a non eu player in england but he had spent the required time to get a french nationality but it was just stuck on awaiting paperwork

In real life if he gets Chinese nationality he will lose the Croatian one. And if he wants to visit his faily later he'll have to get a Croatian visa. That's why foreigners don't usually apply for Chinese nationality sometimes they apply for Chinese "green cards" though.

The days completed are wrong with loads of players at the start of the game. They have far more days than they should have.
