REASONS WHY DUAL CITIZENSHIP MAY NOT BE A GOOD IDEA?

Why some people do not want to become dual citizens?; Downsides of dual citizenship; Why dual citizenship may not be for you?; Dual taxation for dual citizens; Double taxation for dual citizens; Double tax agreement; Dual citizens may lose their social benefits? Are dual citizens subject to tax by both countries? Are dual citizens liable to pay taxes to both countries?; What is conflict of laws or conflicts of law? What are the conflict of law rules? Do dual citizens have divided loyalty? Are dual citizens subject to military service in both countries? Are dual citizens entitled to better rights when facing criminal prosecution? Are there limitations to the rights of a dual citizen? Double tax agreement; social security benefits of dual citizens; Tax treaty; Reasons why dual citizenship is not attractive to some:
Number 1 in the list is that dual citizenship may complicate your tax situation. You may find yourself being subjected to tax liabilities by two governments and therefore, getting taxed twice (double taxation) on the same income. If true, that definitely is not good.
Number 2 in the list is that - As a dual citizen, you may be subject to the laws of both countries - problem may particularly arise when these laws are conflicting.
Number 3 in the list is the possibility of losing one’s social security benefits. If you are receiving social security benefits from your country of current citizenship and residence, are you going to lose it if you become a Philippine dual citizen? As I will be discussing here, concerns about social security benefits are more of a residency issue and has nothing to do with dual citizenship.
For US official website:
No. 4. “Limited U.S. Assistance Abroad”: According to the said website, local authorities may not recognize your U.S. nationality if you are also a national of that country, especially if you did not enter the country using your U.S. passport. The U.S. embassy or consulate’s ability to provide consular assistance may be limited. In the case of the Philippines, however, if you are a Filipino-American dual citizen, you may enter the Philippines and be admitted as a Filipino citizen even if you use your US passport.
According to the official website of the Philippine Consulate General in New York: “As a dual citizen, it is not mandatory to apply for a Philippine passport. You may use your US passport when travelling to the Philippines. You simply have to present your dual documents to the Philippine Immigration Officer as proof of Philippine citizenship, per the Bureau of Immigration’s Operation Order No. SBM-2014-045 dated 30 September 2014 which is in force and still in effect. Incoming Filipinos may present a valid PHL passport, Identification Certificate or a Certificate of Re-acquisition / Retention of PHL Citizenship to be admitted as Filipino citizens.
No. 5. Notification and Access to Detained Dual Nationals: Many countries do not recognize dual nationality under their laws, even if they do not expressly prohibit dual nationality. U.S. consular officials may not be permitted to access U.S. nationals in detention if they are also nationals of the country where they are detained. Dual nationals who are arrested or detained should request that police or prison officials notify the closest U.S. embassy or consulate.
No. 6. Military Service
In the United States, the US government official website says that the US military has been all-volunteer since 1973 but an act of Congress could still reinstate the draft in case of national emergency. Almost all men ages 18-25 who are US citizens or are immigrants living in the US are required to register with the Selective Service, which gets activated only when there is s situation requiring a draft. In Canada, military service is also voluntary.
The Philippines however does not have a mandatory military service although it is now being proposed by the current vice president of the Philippines. We still need a legislation for that.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤
Appreciate your lecture atty. Thank you for enlightenment us viewers .
Am a Filipina wife of a German & a resident for almost 28 yrs. but I maintained my PH citizenship (my husband respected it), as I promised to my father. He permitted me go abroad for my profession (singing) at 19, at first in Okinawa (U.S.Bases), then other key cities in Japan. Got married to a half American-Japanese at 33, divorced after 10 yrs. At a total of almost 54 yrs. residence abroad and my father had passed many years ago, I still want to keep my promise, to be a (proud) Filipino until my last breath❣️
🎉Mabuhay ang Pilipinas at mga Filipino🎊 🙏💖☮️🍀
WHO CARES! you are full of drama

This is a very good information, although I already have some knowledge about dual citizenship. You did a very good job explaining them . Thank you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I am not against this topic about dual citizenship or whatsoever but I just wanted to share about another CITIZENSHIP which is CITIZENSHIP IN HEAVEN. In the book of Philippians 3:20-21 "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body." We can obtain citizenship in heaven IF WE obey the commandments of the Lord. In the book of Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." Citizenship on earth is temporal. In the book of 2 Corinthians 4:18 “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” Colossians 3:2 "Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth."
Very informative and clearer for me now. Thanks a lot for simply explaining everything being permanently living in New Zealand for many years now.

I have been attempting to get an appointment for launching an application to re-acquire my Philippine citizenship back. In light of your vlog, i am not really sure now. May be it is not for me after all. That pretty much relieves me the unnecessary stress. Thank you.

I am dual Citizen too., and no problem when i go back to Philippines. The reason why, because i have properties in Phil. and someday i will stay in Philippines for good.

As a Philippine permanent resident you can have business, own properties, etc. except working for government and vote.
Totoo po ba ung sabi sabi na pag-dual citizen ay dual tax din ung babayaran mo

Thank you for the insights.

My Filipina wife is dual US/PH and we have retired 9 years ago in the Philippines. I have recently been approved (still in process with the courts) for my PH citz. I am very excited by this as the PH is my home. I will be Dual as well. Yes the 13a is good.. but having the security of a citz is a much better option. Nice video.

Thank you for this information. This is very helpful. 👏👏👏
Thanks for this video.
I'm an American citizen, but a natural-born Filipino. Although I've been thinking of applying for "dual" citizenship for a couple of years now, I've been holding off because of the many the "cons" (which outweighs the "pros") of "dual" citizenship. The "con" part which I am most concerned about, i.e., Philippine law will have jurisdiction over me for anything that happens to me while in the Philippines. And that is something I'm not willing Philippine law to have jurisdiction over me. Why? Keep on reading.
Yes, I agree there is no PERFECT justice system but there are GOOD justice system. But as we all know, "justice delayed is justice denied," and that is how justice is administered in the Philippines most of the time. Despite having laws like any democratic country, however, in the Philippines the laws are NOT ALWAYS ENFORCED, especially if the "accused" belongs to a RICH AND POWERFUL family.
Let's say I had been raped, beaten to death or even murdered in the Philippines. My family will wait years, if not decades to get justice, or no justice at all! Reasons: Investigation was BOTCHED; investigators/police officers don't have EXPERIENCE and KNOWLEDGE about criminal investigation, and mostly INCOMPETENT to say the least; suspects are not INTEREVIEWED. And when perpetrators are "identified" (through fingerprints or DNA) they are NOT ARRESTED in a timely manner or not arrested at all because the perpetrator belongs to a RICH AND POWERFUL family. And if (and that's a big IF) there was an ARREST, trial takes many YEARS to happen. And by the time the case goes to trial, most of the "evidence" were either missing or destroyed, and the DNA heavily degraded to convict the accused. And that is what "justice delayed is justice denied" especially in the Philippines.
I can list Philippine cases I know (rape, murder, robbery, embezzlement, etc., etc.) and some I read in the papers where justice was NOT SERVED because the VICTIMS belong to the masses and the poor and the "accused" are either RICH or WELL-CONNECTED. In short, the Philippine justice system is CORRUPT! I'd rather have the U.S. government have jurisdiction over me because as a U.S. citizen, my LEGAL RIGHTS are (and will be) protected by the U.S. government, not by the Philippine government. It just is and that's the REALITY of it!
Thank you for sharing your insightful thoughts and for helping to enrich this discussion. 😊
@@YourLawyer hello atty
@@chellellu7428 Hi! 😊
Yes, there's a lot of budol budol, in the landownership, inherited from your pre - decessor in interest or grand parents of future inheritance wherein partition is not open yet & an illegitimate cousin all of sudden had a Deed of Sale claiming she bought the entire properties except it's fake signature, & she deleted name of her father from the group of siblings, substitution & conversion of her name, instead, claiming adverse claims w/o - legal title, undated, unexecuted, absent of registration, unpublished & without the indispensable party no resolution can be had. The court accepted it & already conducted a hearing without me. Has no cause of action against me, who is the legal title holder of the land in my name. Whatever, they may be, it will just be those bullies, w/o legal entitlement. Imagine, a fraud almost become source of legal title. And they were suing each other without the legal owner & was only represented without my consent. I was not a defendant or a plaintiff & were figthing for my land that doesn't belong to them. I never sold my inherited land to no one. I even a built my house there.
Research more.
1. It can complicate your tax situation.
2. A dual citizen may be subject to laws of both counties.
3. The possibility of losing one's social security benefits.
4. Limited assistance abroad.
5. Notification and access to detained individuals
6. Dual citizens may be subject to mandatory military service.
Its how you use your passport. If you're in the PH, use passport. But you're in PH get what all the PH government programs for its citizens.
#3 Social Security, you can retire anywhere because you contributed to it. SSI,no. As long as you don't give up your US Citizenship, you will receic SSS until you die. #6 Many retirees are old enough to be exempted in military service.
For most countries, you will be subject to their tax laws if you are staying in that country for most of the year, not whether you are a citizen or not. So even if you are a foreigner and you don't have an ounce of Filipino blood in you but you are residing in the Phils. you will have to report all your income in and outside of the Phils.
The bad news for US citizens is that the US subject ALL its citizens to US tax laws even if they are living outside the US. That is why many US citizens who can work remotely and have many assets abroad renounce their US citizenship.
So don’t listen to others misconceptions ,,,,
Thank you very much for this productive information.
Great tips para sa mga kabayan . Informative
One other possible disadvantage of dual citizenship could be with obtaining a government job that requires a security clearance. A dual citizen has sworn an oath to two countries to put their loyalty in that one country above all others. Of course that is impossible. This could definitely be a conflict of interest that could disqualify someone from employment in some government jobs.
I’m planning to apply for dual citizenship. And I’m currently working at US government so pagngdual po ako i might loss my job? 😅
@@Laylyfe It would be highly unlikely. However, if you work for one of the intelligence services or any agency where being a dual citizen could represent a possible conflict of interest, it could be an issue. I suggest you fully disclose with your agency that you're planning on getting dual status. Why do you want dual status anyways?
@@Laylyfe I work for the US gov;t I don't have any problem. At my place of work, we have to be cleared every 2 years and so far I have no problems.
I agree that - presently at least - it would be highly unlikely to cause any problems with most government jobs. However, things can change politically in very short order. Especially when you consider that the former Philippine President Duturte was warming up to both China and Russia and called then sitting President Obama a son-of-a-bitch (the truth gets you nowhere 🤣). I suppose it could also depend on your paygrade. It may not be a problem for a GS-5 but could be for a GM-13 or someone in the Senior Executive Service. My only interest in dual-citizenship is for my fully retired Filipina wife so that she could have more flexibility with property ownership, etc. Personally, I would never do anything that could potentially compromise my U.S. citizenship status even if I did qualify for dual status (which I do not). So yes, dual citizenship will not likely cause most people any trouble, but it's still a noteworthy topic for discussion, and one should consider all the possible ramifications before going ahead with it.
why do you want to work in government? you will not earn good money, c'mon Bro
My dad retired in 2004 at 62 and he just comes back here when he has to renew his drivers license. And his retirement money goes up too. He has been a dual citizen for a while now without any problems whatsoever.
Your dad is a triple citizen - US citizen, Filipino citizen, and senior citizen. 😁

So, your father have come back here every 5 yrs., just ask how he get he’s pension in Pinas? Thank you
@@Jo-me2zb you can get your SSS pension as long as you pay as voluntarily.. i had a know a lot who get 2 pension from different countries coz they are dual citizenship..
@@aro4098 That is not true when the lawyer said that having a dual citizenship will lose your U.S. social security benefit. It only applies to a person who is borne in the US and renounced his U.S. citizenship. It does not apply to the person who is naturalized U.S. citizenship.

As a dual citizen in canada is not a problem because canada government will only require income declaration any amount of any income like rentals that is if declared to the philippine government as income so my best preference is dual citizenship because if u want to acquire properties ur good to go whatever u want.

@@09Hope In 2003 I got my Green Card. In 2009, I applied for my US citizenship. My primary reason? When I traveled in the UK and France back in 2004, I had to get a visa for the UK and a Schengen visa for France. When I traveled in Italy in 2006, I had to get a Schengen visa. Too much hassle. Once I got my US citizenship, I was able to travel in Europe without a need for a visa. Another advantage - "Permanent residents have the right to work and live in the U.S. indefinitely, as well as the right to petition for close family members for a Green Card.
However, because Green Card's relatives are considered preference relatives, this process takes considerably longer than for a U.S. citizen."
Aww, you’re so right. I feel the same. I wish I could do more to improve the Philippines and offer more jobs to our people. I don’t really feel at home outside of Philippines.

Excellent information! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing..I appreciate it..am a Filipino Canadian and you enlightened me so much regarding rules ..benefits and such
I am not against this topic about dual citizenship or whatsoever but I just wanted to share about another CITIZENSHIP which is CITIZENSHIP IN HEAVEN. In the book of Philippians 3:20-21 "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body." We can obtain citizenship in heaven IF WE obey the commandments of the Lord. In the book of Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." Citizenship on earth is temporal. In the book of 2 Corinthians 4:18 “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” Colossians 3:2 "Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth."
A friend of mine retired from the US Military and shipped his household goods and paid nothing to the customs after processing his household goods paperwork at th Foreign Affairs Office, all 20,000 pounds delivered to his house in the Philippines. No single tax. Smart enough to apply for Dual Citizenship before he left the US.
That still alot - alot of moulah that you’re friend wasted just to move ..
That’s right, YOUR friend may have wasted A LOT of MOOLAH, but I hope it was worth it.
@@larrynarvaez1146 Read again. He did not spend any money for the move. Household goods paid by the US Government ang no taxes by the Philippine governmrnt were charged.
Because He is a military there’s a lot of privileges
He’s retired from the military, he can shipped his household goods for free.
I have heard of some crime committed in the Philippines and some sentencing seamed harsh while others seamed fair. This could be said for my country as well. However, the prison system in the Philippines is a disaster. Putting children with adults is not wise. I hope they change this soon. It's best to obey the laws and not go to prison. God bless the Philippines ❤
Thanks for ur clear presentation! ❤
Wow! Very informative. I am a Dual holder and will be visiting next year. Recently retired and looking for an opportunity to help out somewhere.
Ive never watched this video but even before I came across this one I have already decided not to get dual citizenship..NZ- my adoptive mother country, has better protection scheme for its citizens than my beloved mother country Philippines.I prefer using my nz passport wherever I go.
I am a natural born Pinoy citizen and a naturalized spanish national.Being a spanish national gives me an opportunity to travel and work in EU countries hence I find a big advantage of being a dual citizen.
I thought Spain does not allow dual citizenship?
@@uninsane777 It does.
I have worked in three EU countries and hold three different visas, with my primary visa being the Spanish NIE, which has a validity of up to 10 years, and another one from the Netherlands. Considering my child's Filipino-Spanish heritage and her mother being Spanish, I am contemplating acquiring dual citizenship. The main motivations are related to property matters and the increased flexibility it provides. Having dual citizenship offers numerous advantages and greater flexibility.
Informative..
Helpful informations..balak ko pa nman sanang mag apply ng dual citizenship.thanks for the info!
Yup, the justice system in the Philippines is almost non-existent, especially if you are not very rich or don’t know the “right” people. It’s so slow and ripe with incompetence and corruption. We are having problems with our relatives who are trying to steal our properties and we have been waiting for a judgement for more than 8 years. We have all the legal documents for our properties but somehow the would be thieves are finding ways to delay the proceedings with the blessings of the judge. It’s infuriating.

Justice delayed is justice denied. The lady justice eyes which is closed and covered is now seeing signs of $$$ PHP and other monetary signs😂
More advantageous to be dual , no disadvantages as far as I am concerned , we have business in Philippines stated as long as you can no fine bc you are also a Filipino
Correction : As a dual you are allowed to have business in the Philippines just like a Filipino but you pay same taxes as Filipino pays ..
Thank you!
Thank you so much for the impo 🙏❤️
I was thinking about it too when I did my dual last year. The reason is, I acquired properties. And my legal counsel told me so. Otherwise,, I won't do it. Secondly, I don't stay in PH longer than a month. Our lives and work are in the US and I only have my families out there to visit.
As for me i dont see any disadvantages of having dual citizenship but only advantages! 😊
Agree so do i.
I am a dual citizen, Filipino/Canadian. I remember, when I applied for my dual citizenship at the Philippine Embassy in Ottawa, my first questions was what are disadvantages and advantages of being a dual citizenship? They said, my prime citizenship is Canadian and I don’t need to change my canadian passport to Philippine passport. Applying dual citizenship is that, if you want to buy properties or if one day you decided to stay for a bit longer in the Philippines, or If you have an existing properties in the Philippines , you needed to become a dual citizen. Otherwise, you will pay a huge taxes in the Philippines.Yes,there still an oath of allegiance but I asked one of the employee and who was assisting me for my dual citizenship application what are the disadvantage of of being dual citizen, nothing they said. I asked again do I need to pay my taxes in the Philippines. Yes if you have your properties. But, whatever income I have here in Canada there’s nothing to do about taxation in the Philippines. Same here Canada,if I have property(ies)here in Canada, I have to pay my taxes here. and Philippine government has nothing to do about my taxation where I am presently staying and working. Not unless if you’re an OFW( I guess). There’s a bit confusion about he is saying in his video.May be he is right. But I asked directly the Philippine embassy regarding advantage and disadvantage of a dual citizenship. They clearly said nothing disadvantage.
Exactly! I'm a dual citizen too french/filipino at tama lahat ng sinabi mo. You only pay tax in the Philippines if you purchased properties there and have it declared it's normal. Bumili ako ng lupa sa pinas but didn't declare it here in France why do i have to? French has nothing to do with that and same with our property here in France. Wlang pakialam ang pnas sa bahay nmin dto. We pay taxes here in France it's normal because we live here. In Philippines I will only pay dun sa sa tax ng lupa Na binili ko that's it. Wala nman nka sulat sa income tax form if you have properties outside France lol . At saka it's Logic bkit ka mag bbayad ng income tax sa pnas eh hindi ka nman dun nag t trabaho dba? Except Na nga lng kung ofw. Kung saan ka nka tira at kung saan ka nag t trabaho dun ka mag bbayad ng income tax. It took me almost 20 yrs bago ako nag apply ng french citizenship but my husband told me Na mag apply at mag apply ng dual. Because kpag nagka ruon ng gulo like sample sa pnas e a acknowledge ako ng french govt. and vice versa. Wla din sinabi yung Phils.embassy Na disavantages of having dual citizenship.
@@betchayarazaruiz5817But we still need to comeback every 6 months ano sis kung dual ka?? Just doing some research po as I am confuse kung kukuha kaming mag-asawa ng dual or will go back as a PH passport for good. Early 40’s palang kami.
@@sandonmyfeet1300 unang tanong anong bansa ka ba naka reside? Kung Canada are you a Canadian citizen na ba? Kung oo , hindi ka puwedeng kumu ha ng Philippine passport ng hindi ka nagppa dual citizenship. Now, kung permanent resident ka pa lang you can use your Philippine passport. Kasi ang dual is an acquisition of your citizenship from the country of your birth. Parang ni revived mo lang ang dating kasarinlan mo. Tanong ulit bakit mo daw bumalik every six months? Dapat alamin mo yan. Kailangan kasi mag tanong kayo sa gobyerno ng bansa kung saan kayo naka tira.
Thank you for these informations
Good to know thank you for the information 🥰🥰🥰
There's definitely advantages to having a dual-citizen especially if you want to keep your liabilities that you own.
I SUPER AGREE!

Most of your presentation refers to duel Filipino/US citizens and briefly Filipino/ Canadian citizens. My wife who is a natural born Filipino, has now been approved for Australian citizenship, but with family and cultural ties to the Philippines, is now considering having duel citizenship (which I as an Australian, deeply respect).
With due respect, I believe that an Australian passport does have some advantages over a Philippines passport when traveling to many countries more freely, however giving up one’s birthright is not an easy thing to do and anyway it’s extremely unlikely that there would ever be a conflict between our two nations for we are a nation that recognises our responsibilities as a Asia/Pacific nation and as a global nation. So my wife would like to know what are the disadvantages of being a duel Filipino/Australian citizen?
As for me (an Australian citizen by birth), I’ve been fortunate to have traveled to many countries around the world with just my passport (no visa required) and I’ve been asked many times where I came from, my answer is, I’m an Australian and proud to be an Australian, but I also consider myself to be a citizen of the world for there are many beautiful places where I’d happily live and isn’t that’s the way it should be, for once you meet other people as equals, you quickly realise that we are all the same no matter where w e come from.
There should not be a colonial border. Were just one people that mutated due to adoption of environment thru ages, decades & ancient years ago.
@@jokthandanque1786 , it seems impossible because the forms of government among nations and their existing laws are not the same. That is why there is border!
I got dual because i got investment in Philippines. I got a rights in both countries. Nothing is charge.
Sounds like attack on titan lol anime
You used a lot of words but made zero sense. First of all, it's dual. Not duel. And also, nothing is stopping anyone from appreciating and practicing cultures, no citizenship is required for that. Filipinos who move abroad and acquire other nations'citizenship don't just lose their Filipino culture.
Thank you ,informative
Thank for your information
Can you please discuss about the pros & cons of being dual citizen as I am a British Citizen.
That is exactly what the video is all about. Didn't you watch it?
Hahahaha! You’re funny, Flordelyn.
Hello Atty, I came across your video about dual citizenship and it's so informative. I have several questions if you don't mind. I was born in the Philippines in 1973. My Mom and Dad were both Philippine resident at that time. My Mom was born in 1950 and my dad 1946. My mom and dad separated in the early 80s and because of this my mom migrated to the USA in the early 80s and I migrated to the USA in 1987. I obtained my US green card in 1987. I just now decided to become a U.S. citizen an have an appointment next month for my interview and civics test. I am planning to be both Dual Citizen. Do I need to go to the Philippine consulate for this in the USA? Or can I do this when I go to the Philippines? My husbands parents were also born in the Philippines in the 50s. They migrated to the USA in the mid 70s which by default my husband was born in the USA with Filipino parents who became US citizen before my husband was born. We both want to reside in the Philippines as our first home and the USA as our second home. Can be obtain a dual as well? Thank you.
PS: Best of luck and have my advanced congratulations to you, my fellow American!
Quicker mag process ng dual citizenship sa mga consulate sa US. But pwede din sa Pinas.
Thank you for your most informative and relevant video.
Your voice is very soothing. It's a pleasure listening to you.
This topic is very informative and well explained. Thank youu so much.
Hello Sir, for me is a good idea because every year is a stressed , and every year the charge to renew a visa is increasing. For me as I am a Filipino and my kids lives in the Philippines. I can give up my Citizenship if I can decide to live in the Philippines.
Apply for permanent residency not necessarily citizenship…

If you are all dual in the family and decided to stay in Philippines , as long as you pay your yearly taxes if you salary in US or pension as I said supplemental income is stopped if you stay more than 1 month , you did not earned that money it is just aid to you while you are in USA
Some countries do not accept it. I will always choose the Philippines. If I have to make a choice. But I am lucky enough to be in a foreign country that dual or more citizenships is accepted.
lol

Get your Filipino citizenship. You need autonomy of both country. Dual citizenship is a privilege. Such privilege can be repealed or revoked. Kaya kumuha ako niyan because anything can happen and you have a second choice. May possibility dual citizenship could ne repealed, revoked if not end this privelege to Filipinos abroad.
I don't find any disadvantage. Very convenient.
Thanks 4d info
