My wife is from the Philippines and I am originally from Singapore but I had to give up my Singapore citizenship because Singapore does not allow dual citizenship. So I chose Australia. I have been Australian citizen for over 25 years now. That has been the best decision I've ever made. But coming back to my wife's reason for having a dual citizenship. I am very touched that the Philippine government has a heart. Allowing the Filipino people to come back to the country they were born. We will be retiring in the Philippines in the coming future and thanks to the Philippine government, this is possible. Watching from Sydney Australia.
Thank you for sharing this very helpful vlog to our kababayans kudos to you sir! I am happy that there is someone out there that cares and inform our kababayans that will help their decision making with regards to dual citizenship
Great Video! Clear and concise! I've watched too many people giving this information but they do not cover the level of detail given in this video. +1 new subscriber!
I'm in the process of weighing the pros and cons of applying for SRRV or Dual citizenship. Thanks for uploading this video. You articulated the pros and cons of applying for a Dual Citizenship. The information you shared on this video has greatly helped me to discern the best option for me and my family. Thanks again, @VloggerGrandPaUSA.
Maraming salamat po sa pagpaliwanag. Super helpful video. I’m American but I’m pretty sure I’m eligible for dual citizenship, and this was very insightful for things to consider before committing
I have just one reason for having dual citizenship.. I wanted to vote hoping it may benefit to be able to choose the rightful leader of Pinas hoping .. I know it’s a long shot, still hoping
Thank you @Philippine Retirement & Travels for this video post. Like you, I'm a Filipino guy who grew up in the Philippines but moved and lived in the US in last 35 years. But retirement is in my horizon and in 10 years plan to go back to the Philippines. I plan to apply for US-Philippines dual citizenship. Your video gave me things to plan and carefully think of before going to the Philippines Embassy to apply for dual cizenship.
Jam Tayo You can purchase a house or residence but not a land where it stands. For lease lang ang mangyayari sa binili mong bahay. Only a citizen can acquire a land property
Hello Vlogger Grandpa, I like watching all your informative videos! I just got my dual citizenship this month! It was memorable in the oath taking! I was allowed to renew my Philippine passport after that. Mabuhay! When I go home, I plan to visit Leni Robredo in Angat Buhay, lend her my support!
My father did not have any problem having dual citizenships. He went home while71 yrs old because my mother died and he reached the age of 83 without any problem with the dual cits.tnx.
Thank you for sharing. New friend here. I'm a filipino citizen I've been here in the US since 1986 and im a permanent resident here I haven't decided if I want to get my citizenship. Thank you for your advice.
My wife is dual citizen of USA and Philippines. I am US citizen. We retired here. We file Federal taxes very year. We pay no state tax. I am a resident of no state. We moved here from California. I owe nothing there. All my incomes comes from federal Government because that what I retired from. Dual citizenship works for us because she has land in here name. You have to be a Filipino citizen to do that. So its great for us.
I decided to defer my application for dual citizenship until I know for sure if I will retire and live in the Philippines. For now, I feel more secure travelling anywhere around the world as a citizen of my current country of residence.
Note: treaty involves only tax on income. There is still the possibility of double taxation when one dies and becomes liable for estate tax in the US and the Philippines.
When one reaches the age of retirement and begins to think about estate planning, being subject to two jurisdictions who can tax you for properties owned wherever located may be a disadvantage.
chesogsiphonography vlog regarding properties, since it’s dual the mere fact one remains a Pinoy estate tax can only be taxed in Pinas. There shouldn’t be any taxation in the US no need to disclose property sa ibang bansa since taxed na yun doon.
Marilyn RM not true when it comes to estate tax. That only applies to income tax based on RP-US treaty. There is no provision in it concerning estate taxes. As a Filipino Citizen, one is required, by law, to include in his gross estate, all properties found anywhere in the world. BIR may not have the capacity as of the moment to investigate/know all your properties. However, there is no telling when will technology catch up with the provision of law.
Maraming Filipino na naging US Citizens actually after 4yrs na naging permanent residents dito...din mg popost na sila sa fb nila na GOD BLESS AMERICA😃😃😃 wala ng GOD BLESS PHILIPPINES... Ako walang planong palitan or dual ang pgka pinay ko...kasi gusto ko pa rin bumalik kng saan ang pinang galingan ko.😃😃
I am an American citizen native born retired Army, I collect disability compensation, I will never give up my citizenship, I may loose all my benefits. I have a Philippine permanent residency card, I am law abiding . respect the Philippine people.
I liked the idea of not taxing dual citizens for what they earned working from the US jobs. And just like you said, if I were to reside back to PI, I would not be working there, I would just relax because I would be a senior citizen as well.
If your a a US citizen or dual citizen living in the Philippines and your making income via youtube or online english tutoring, do you have to pay tax to the Philippines or just the United States or both?
You are right dual are more for retirees. My sis in law who is American citizen but now living and working in Toronto, Cda. requires to file both on two separate taxes.
Some Pinoys adopt a Westernized name during naturalization. Juan dela Cruz becomes John dela Cruz and it shows in his US passport. After becoming a dual citizen, I presume his PHL passport will show as Juan dela Cruz since that is what is in his PHL birth certificate. Which name does he use to buy an airline ticket since the name on the ticket must match his passport name? Which name does he use to open a bank account in PHL or to buy a condo? Juan or John?
@@DK-zm2vr But the situation is a dual citizen with two different names in his passports. His PHL passport says Juan dela Cruz while his US passport says John dela Cruz. Do you buy your ticket as Juan (PHL passport) or as John (USA passport) dela Cruz? There is not enough space in the airline ticket to accommodate an AKA (Also Known As) name.
Its not a big deal if you are using diff names to different passport (dual) as long as you have the affidavit from the phil embassy saying you change your name.
i saw what you said about canada not accepting your education. i am sorry that happened to you. they should have told you beforehand. but you were able to go on and be successful in the usa and that is nice. i watched alot of your videos. such a wise man.
Planning to get a dual citizenship, can I stay n retired in the Philippines with my SS, do I need to report to do Philippines consulate n U.S. Embassy Thank you for all the help u can provide
@Gerald Guieb Yes, you can retire in the Philippines and you will be allowed to receive your US Social Security Benefit in the Philippines. Usually, you apply at the Philippine Consulate office that has jurisdiction over the state where you're located. However, when I renewed my passport in Oct 2020 in NYC, I asked one person about my daughter who now lives in Washington State. He said she could set-up an appointment and apply in New York City. However, I suggest that you call and talk to someone at the Consulate you're interested in going, and get the name of the person you talked to who said it's okay to apply there although it is outside of their jurisdiction, then setup an appointment to go. Sometimes asking 2 people the same question will yield two different answers. So, I'm just cautioning you. Here's the list of consular offices with jurisdiction where you live: www.philippinessanfrancisco.org/philippines-sf/consulate-finder-sf/ Note that some of them do not have the email address, and you will just have to try to call the office. Hopefully, someone answers the call.
Mabuhay manong! I've been toying with this thought for a few years. My father was a Filipino national who was hired by the Federal Gov't in the building of a military base here on Guam. He eventually became a naturalized American citizen. I had not really known my relatives there until way into my adulthood. I was born in 1959 and saw my titas for the first time in 1991 when tatay brought them to Guam for my mom's funeral. I was shocked when I first saw them...hahaha... they were versions of my tatay. I never thought anyone would look like my tatay. Dad fathered 2 pinoy mixed boys. I'm at retiring age now. And I want to retire in the Philippines. I'm still single. I want to live my remaining years getting to know my close relatives. I also have a reared son. A nephew introduced me took a young pinoy boy who was struggling for an education. At that time I was assisting already 2 nursing students with their education as nurses. Not full support but partial. One was studying for his examination to be a registered nurse and the other was looking for a nursing job but was having no luck. Too many nurses with very little open positions for nurses. In any case I couldn't fully help the young guy my nephew introduced me to. Financially strapped by my nursing students. So I asked the young guy to look for a job while I tried to complete my assistance for the 2 nursing students. He needed a job to support him and his mom. So I helped him there. The years went on and I helped him here and there between jobs. Years went by when he asked if he could call me dad. In his words, I was providing things for him that his father wasn't doing. His father abandoned him and his mother when he was a little boy. Well... I'm now dad. And I now 4 apo. All born under my watchful eyes. I now have a role I hold dear to my heart. I want to grow old with my apo. The eldest is in 2nd grade. I want to be there for them. What are you're thoughts about this if you don't mind. Even if I remain here in Guam, my home, I can see me traveling back and forth to be with my apo.
@Vernon Kamiaz That's very generous of you to be supporting those "distant relatives." Thank you for your generosity. I wish more people will be like you. 🙂
@Vernon Kamiaz You may have been a Filipino citizen at birth if you were born while your father was still Filipino Citizen. If so, you have to file a Report of Birth and get your Philippine Passport. Then, you can do anything a Filipino citizen can.
@Vernon Kamiaz Well, go for it. Put together all documents and evidence that your father was still Filipino citizen, such as his birth certificate (in the Philippines) and Naturalization documents to show that he was naturalized after you were born.
Yes, except that you have to worry about your immigration status in the US. You are not allowed to be out of the US longer than 6 months. This used to be 12 months, but I heard (unconfirmed) that it is now limited to 6 months.
So if you are retired : you are probably too old to commit a crime, too old to get drafted for military service, if you don’t want to open a business, dual citizenship is not an issue ( if living in the Philippines). If in the US or Phils( for older folks), it allows you to buy unlimited land and avoids the high exits fees when leaving the Philippines.
Hi Grand Pa. how about money in the bank.? I have money in the bank before came her in the US. Or became a permanent residence here in the US. I have also money in COOP. .. Do I need to pay taxes here.? Nalilito kasi ako if I will report my money in the bank & coop. I'm retired already. I married a US citizen. Thank you Grand Pa
@@vloggergrandpa2707 thank you Grand pa. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you iyong money ko sa bank at saka sa coop nandoon sa Philippines. Money ko yon na recieved ko ng nag early retired ako sa Pinas before I came here sa US. Need ko din e declare dito sa US.? Hindi ako nag work dito sa US. Thank you Grand Pa.
Again, as long as you are a Permanent Resident or U.S. Citizen, ALL your income must be combined with all other income WORLDWIDE. If it reaches the threshold to be taxable, then it will be taxed. If total is less than the threshold, then you will NOT be taxed. Keep this in mind: ALL INCOME WORLDWIDE regardless of source unless the source is tax exempt by statute. If necessary, consult with your tax accountant.
All true. The big problem with being a dual citizen ( US/Filipino) is taxes. You'll still be required to file taxes if, like me, you're living in the Philippines, and you have any US income. I only have $1200 US income a year, but I still have to file each year, and pay a self-employment tax.
question, acquired British citizenship, then dual citizenship after, then moved to US by marriage & earned US passport. Do I have to apply for re-acquisition of Philippine citizenship again? Does the Philippines accept triple citizenship?
Hi. I am a male American born citizen and I just got my dual Finnish citizenship and here's why. 1. Limit assistance abroad. I not too worried about this because I figure that if I ever needed assistance abroad (not in US or Finland) that my two governments would work together to figure out how to best help me. Besides it would seem to be not a frequent issue especially as I plan on being a good law abiding citizen of both countries. 2. Military service. Finland does have mandatory military service. However those living in America (aka me) are exempt from this requirement as well as those with dual citizenship (me again). Its more of a suggestion for me to do the service and I probably might do it later, but this isn't the end of the world for me. 3. Potential for double taxation. The US and Finland have a tax treaty between them. 4. Career problems. I don't plan on joining the military unless it's to fulfill my non required (as explained above) Finnish military service in which case I will not stay longer than nessesary. I plan on joining the Aviation field so I can't see this being an issue, but actually a major advantage as I can live and work freely in the EU and US! 5. Lengthy expensive process. This comes to why it was a Dual Finnish citizenship instead of another country or no country. My mother was born in Finland and by law of blood I was permitted citizenship. The process was extremely easy for me too! Even friends and Family in Finland were surprised by how quick, easy, and straightforward it was for me to get my citizenship (I mean shockingly quick)! Thanks for reading!
Hi sir! I just wanted to clarify if does it affect the process of petition in the future or is there will be a conflict when I apply for a dual citizenship? Thank you sir! More powers and Godbless
What I mean is when I petition a relative or fiancé in the future for US Citizenship, is there would be any problem if I’d be a dual citizen? Like for example, does the process of petitioning my relatives to US would take a longer time than what its usually and normally process like?
@@jennyvalecruz7393 I don't really think so, but I'm not sure. Does the application have a question whether or not you are a dual citizen? I don't think so, but do verify that.
I am planning to retired at the age of 60 and take the pension from my deceased husband, do you think this is a good idea and back to Philippines for good? Thanks a lot for all informations, any advice on my part regarding on my decision to retire since I have still one year to make my final decision. Thank you so much. God Bless.
Thelma, there are many things to consider and only you can decide. That's a very personal decision. Regarding issues about medical, social security, taxes, etc, that is covered in my vlogs. Here's the link to my channel. th-cam.com/channels/YU70S4jYvhw0BOetMFdD6A.htmlvideos
What if you were accused of a crime you did not commit while you were in another country? This is the first thing that came to my mind when I heard about #1.
Then U.S. can't do anything for you. If this happened to you, it is a major consideration. Another question is, how many times has this happened to an American citizen? Is it likely to happen to you? I think if you ask, "what if I get hospitalized" will be a more likely question. 🙂
Thank you for importation ! Maybe I gonna go back . I'm American citizen , because my Pent ion is not good enough to survive here in California . The only way is to go back again for good ! The rent here in California is expensive ! So living for nothing .
@gracehopper27 Purchase by a former natural-born Filipino citizen who lost their citizenship by acquiring foreign citizenship is entitled to own up to 5,000 sq.m. of residential land, and 1 hectare of agricultural or farm land.

I was born in the philippines and I got my U.S. Citizen 2 yrs.ago then I applied Dual citizen on August 2020 : may pandemic na sa date and my oath taken for my dual citizen was April 2021it took me more months sa Dual citizen dahil sa pandemic. My question is can I USE MY U.S. Passport if i’m going to Philippines? Please respect my question. I need your answer po dahil i’m planning for my vacation. thanks in advance sa sagot po
@Editha Mitchell Of course, you can. But why? If you go home as Balikbayan, you have to present your NSO/PSA issued birth certificate along with your US passport. Your stay will be limited to one year. If you're doing that, what is the sense getting your dual citizenship? Just asking.
Hi Sir, this topic is very helpful...am a permanent resident...now thinkin' twice for this....everyday i learned about this kind of processing...if i remain a permanent...i can't Vote... Here...only on my Motherland Country....will think & study for this...God bless you always...Sir for sharing this helpful tips...love from Florida
Hi sir, is their a limited days, months or years staying in the Philippines and I am receiving SSS pension from work and only an immigrant.? Do I need to report to the SSS to continue receiving my pension?thank you for the answer.
If you are U.S. citizen, there is no limit. If you are not a dual citizen, you are limited to a 1 year stay in the Philippines as Balikbayan without extension. It should not affect your US SS by being in the Philippines. However, I would let SS office know what you're doing. If you are talking about SSS in the Philippines, you will need to file an Annual Report to keep on receiving your benefits and that deadline is March 2022.
Please clarify your replies. You mean if you are a US citizen, your stay in the Philippine has no limit while if you are a citizen of other country and holding a dual citizenship you can apply for returning balikbayan and you can stay for one year.
As a naturalized US citizen, native born Filipinos are given one year automatically when visiting the old country. What will you do in the Philippines for one year anyway.
Hello! I'm a Fil-Canadian dual citizen. I will be travelling to the Phils this Oct 2022. Upon exiting the Phils will I need to pay the Airport/Terminal fee?

It's because they're politicians.
Another awesome information. Thanks Danny.
The US will tax any income outside the US, if the income is more than US$8,000. Not subject to tax any income that is less than US$8,000.
Is it $8000.00 a year or a month?
Very understandable explanation thank you soo much sir !! God bless!!
You are most welcome

I also have a reared son. A nephew introduced me took a young pinoy boy who was struggling for an education. At that time I was assisting already 2 nursing students with their education as nurses. Not full support but partial. One was studying for his examination to be a registered nurse and the other was looking for a nursing job but was having no luck. Too many nurses with very little open positions for nurses. In any case I couldn't fully help the young guy my nephew introduced me to. Financially strapped by my nursing students. So I asked the young guy to look for a job while I tried to complete my assistance for the 2 nursing students. He needed a job to support him and his mom. So I helped him there. The years went on and I helped him here and there between jobs. Years went by when he asked if he could call me dad. In his words, I was providing things for him that his father wasn't doing. His father abandoned him and his mother when he was a little boy. Well... I'm now dad. And I now 4 apo. All born under my watchful eyes. I now have a role I hold dear to my heart. I want to grow old with my apo. The eldest is in 2nd grade. I want to be there for them.
What are you're thoughts about this if you don't mind. Even if I remain here in Guam, my home, I can see me traveling back and forth to be with my apo.
@Vernon Kamiaz That's very generous of you to be supporting those "distant relatives." Thank you for your generosity. I wish more people will be like you. 🙂
@@vloggergrandpa2707 would I be able to purchase farm property under my name?
@Vernon Kamiaz You may have been a Filipino citizen at birth if you were born while your father was still Filipino Citizen. If so, you have to file a Report of Birth and get your Philippine Passport. Then, you can do anything a Filipino citizen can.
@@vloggergrandpa2707 if I'm not mistaken my dad was still a Filipino National.
@Vernon Kamiaz Well, go for it. Put together all documents and evidence that your father was still Filipino citizen, such as his birth certificate (in the Philippines) and Naturalization documents to show that he was naturalized after you were born.
Thank you eye opener…….
Thanks for the info!
Granpa.i am a permanent resident..can i retire in the phil?im planning to retire at 62.
Yes, except that you have to worry about your immigration status in the US. You are not allowed to be out of the US longer than 6 months. This used to be 12 months, but I heard (unconfirmed) that it is now limited to 6 months.
Now it's must be less than 6 months is allowed for immigrants to go back to US
So if you are retired : you are probably too old to commit a crime, too old to get drafted for military service, if you don’t want to open a business, dual citizenship is not an issue ( if living in the Philippines). If in the US or Phils( for older folks), it allows you to buy unlimited land and avoids the high exits fees when leaving the Philippines.
Hi Grand Pa. how about money in the bank.? I have money in the bank before came her in the US. Or became a permanent residence here in the US. I have also money in COOP. .. Do I need to pay taxes here.? Nalilito kasi ako if I will report my money in the bank & coop. I'm retired already. I married a US citizen. Thank you Grand Pa
If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, EVERYTHING is taxable depending on your total income.
@@vloggergrandpa2707 thank you Grand pa. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you iyong money ko sa bank at saka sa coop nandoon sa Philippines. Money ko yon na recieved ko ng nag early retired ako sa Pinas before I came here sa US. Need ko din e declare dito sa US.? Hindi ako nag work dito sa US. Thank you Grand Pa.
Again, as long as you are a Permanent Resident or U.S. Citizen, ALL your income must be combined with all other income WORLDWIDE. If it reaches the threshold to be taxable, then it will be taxed. If total is less than the threshold, then you will NOT be taxed. Keep this in mind: ALL INCOME WORLDWIDE regardless of source unless the source is tax exempt by statute. If necessary, consult with your tax accountant.
@@vloggergrandpa2707 thanks you Grand Pa. Stay safe & God bless.
Maraming salamat po sir, ang dami kong natutunan concerning sa dual citizenship, I was thinking to be dual...
US is supposedly best for health care. Most expensive too. I’d be wary about health care outside america.
Ohh..you dont wanna be sick in the Philippines...hell nahhhh..they will create bullshit to get money outta you...
All true. The big problem with being a dual citizen ( US/Filipino) is taxes. You'll still be required to file taxes if, like me, you're living in the Philippines, and you have any US income. I only have $1200 US income a year, but I still have to file each year, and pay a self-employment tax.
question, acquired British citizenship, then dual citizenship after, then moved to US by marriage & earned US passport. Do I have to apply for re-acquisition of Philippine citizenship again? Does the Philippines accept triple citizenship?
Good question. I really don't know. Please check with Philippine Immigration.
Really appreciates all the helpful information you put out in this vlog
What about triple citizent.American citizent...Philippine citizent ..and Senior citizent..😊😊😊
Hahhaaahha
Maybe what he meant is the benefits as a senior citizen of both country.
Hi. I am a male American born citizen and I just got my dual Finnish citizenship and here's why.
1. Limit assistance abroad. I not too worried about this because I figure that if I ever needed assistance abroad (not in US or Finland) that my two governments would work together to figure out how to best help me. Besides it would seem to be not a frequent issue especially as I plan on being a good law abiding citizen of both countries.
2. Military service. Finland does have mandatory military service. However those living in America (aka me) are exempt from this requirement as well as those with dual citizenship (me again). Its more of a suggestion for me to do the service and I probably might do it later, but this isn't the end of the world for me.
3. Potential for double taxation. The US and Finland have a tax treaty between them.
4. Career problems. I don't plan on joining the military unless it's to fulfill my non required (as explained above) Finnish military service in which case I will not stay longer than nessesary. I plan on joining the Aviation field so I can't see this being an issue, but actually a major advantage as I can live and work freely in the EU and US!
5. Lengthy expensive process. This comes to why it was a Dual Finnish citizenship instead of another country or no country. My mother was born in Finland and by law of blood I was permitted citizenship. The process was extremely easy for me too! Even friends and Family in Finland were surprised by how quick, easy, and straightforward it was for me to get my citizenship (I mean shockingly quick)!
Thanks for reading!
Hi sir! I just wanted to clarify if does it affect the process of petition in the future or is there will be a conflict when I apply for a dual citizenship? Thank you sir! More powers and Godbless
I'm not sure I understand the question. Petition for what, and conflict with what? Please clarify.
What I mean is when I petition a relative or fiancé in the future for US Citizenship, is there would be any problem if I’d be a dual citizen? Like for example, does the process of petitioning my relatives to US would take a longer time than what its usually and normally process like?
@@jennyvalecruz7393 I don't really think so, but I'm not sure. Does the application have a question whether or not you are a dual citizen? I don't think so, but do verify that.
Philippine Retirement & Travels okay, thank you sir!
Great advice!!! Now I'm definitely not looking for get my second citizenship. Thank you sir!!!👏👏
I’m dual citizenship Grandpa…🇨🇭and🇵🇭🤔
Very informative, thank you.
I am planning to retired at the age of 60 and take the pension from my deceased husband, do you think this is a good idea and back to Philippines for good? Thanks a lot for all informations, any advice on my part regarding on my decision to retire since I have still one year to make my final decision. Thank you so much. God Bless.
Thelma, there are many things to consider and only you can decide. That's a very personal decision. Regarding issues about medical, social security, taxes, etc, that is covered in my vlogs. Here's the link to my channel. th-cam.com/channels/YU70S4jYvhw0BOetMFdD6A.htmlvideos
Pls. consider also your health, very hot sometimes in the Philippines.
Thank you. You save from reading and research.
Roard accident can put you in trouble and be prosecuted... also tanim bala in airport for example.
Great example po! I guess if u can afford a driver, it's probably the best option for that!
Exactly! That's what I was afraid of!
Thank you much sir of the information it's adds my knowledge about your topic In dual citizenship Godbless you more
Does this apply to any country.
I'm U.S. citizen born but I want be a Mexican citizen also should I get my dual citizenship
I'm not familiar with Mexican laws. Sorry. Only U.S. & Philippines.
Pepe G I’m in the process of getting my mexico citizenship. I’m a us citizen but now I’m considering haha
What if you were accused of a crime you did not commit while you were in another country? This is the first thing that came to my mind when I heard about #1.
Then U.S. can't do anything for you. If this happened to you, it is a major consideration. Another question is, how many times has this happened to an American citizen? Is it likely to happen to you? I think if you ask, "what if I get hospitalized" will be a more likely question. 🙂
Thank you for importation ! Maybe I gonna go back . I'm American citizen , because my Pent ion is not good enough to survive here in California . The only way is to go back again for good ! The rent here in California is expensive ! So living for nothing .
Yes, very expensive to live in CA.
10 years ago my rent for a 1 bedroom apt in los angeles was $900
Agree. It's a good information. Thanks.
Well you can always apply to renounce your Philippine citizenship by applying in the Philippine consulate.
Very informative. Thank you
Hi po, I was born in the philippines but now a us citizen, do i have to get dual citizenship before i can buy a property in the phils? thanks
@gracehopper27 Purchase by a former natural-born Filipino citizen who lost their citizenship by acquiring foreign citizenship is entitled to own up to 5,000 sq.m. of residential land, and 1 hectare of agricultural or farm land.

I was born in the philippines and I got my U.S. Citizen 2 yrs.ago then I applied Dual citizen on August 2020 : may pandemic na sa date and my oath taken for my dual citizen was April 2021it took me more months sa Dual citizen dahil sa pandemic. My question is can I USE MY U.S. Passport if i’m going to Philippines? Please respect my question. I need your answer po dahil i’m planning for my vacation. thanks in advance sa sagot po
@Editha Mitchell Of course, you can. But why? If you go home as Balikbayan, you have to present your NSO/PSA issued
birth certificate along with your US passport. Your stay will be limited to one year. If you're doing that, what is the sense getting your dual citizenship? Just asking.
Hi Sir, this topic is very helpful...am a permanent resident...now thinkin' twice for this....everyday i learned about this kind of processing...if i remain a permanent...i can't Vote...
Here...only on my Motherland Country....will think & study for this...God bless you always...Sir for sharing this helpful tips...love from Florida
Spicy Lady I’m thinking about dual citizenship too. It’s a hard decision
Hi sir, is their a limited days, months or years staying in the Philippines and I am receiving SSS pension from work and only an immigrant.? Do I need to report to the SSS to continue receiving my pension?thank you for the answer.
If you are U.S. citizen, there is no limit. If you are not a dual citizen, you are limited to a 1 year stay in the Philippines as Balikbayan without extension. It should not affect your US SS by being in the Philippines. However, I would let SS office know what you're doing. If you are talking about SSS in the Philippines, you will need to file an Annual Report to keep on receiving your benefits and that deadline is March 2022.
Please clarify your replies. You mean if you are a US citizen, your stay in the Philippine has no limit while if you are a citizen of other country and holding a dual citizenship you can apply for returning balikbayan and you can stay for one year.
Very clear ang explanation salamat po!
As a naturalized US citizen, native born Filipinos are given one year automatically when visiting the old country. What will you do in the Philippines for one year anyway.
Live just like native do
Thank you sir for the information 🙏
