According to the website for the Philippine embassy in London www.philemb.org.uk
"Filipino citizens who have acquired foreign citizenship can retain/reacquire their Philippine citizenship by taking an oath of allegiance before a consul at the Philippine Embassy."
do you need to make an appointment to take " oath of allegiance"Originally Posted by rusty
or can one go on the day without an appointment.
Look at the website for fee and requirement details
"Oath-taking ceremonies take place from Monday to Friday, 12:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. Applicants should submit their application (with all the requirements) at least one (1) hour before the scheduled oath taking."
I was thinking also why you have to reaffirm when you did not renounce your citizenship. You just added one, and Philippine law allows dual. Strange. Money making?
Thanks for your reply rusty, so no need to book an appointment.
Just make sure to submit all requirements one hour before oath taking.
Dual nationality does sometimes have its drawbacks...
My son (who lives in London), and who has dual nationality, received his
"call-up" papers from the Bulgarian Army when he turned 18 yrs old.
After explaining & proving that he's a full-time student he's exempt... but
he finishes University this year and either has to report for his military
training or renounce his citizenship.
Unlikely in the case of the Philippines, but never say never.
Also be prepared to be in there a while, my wife's oath taking was closer to 4pm then 3pm....Thanks for your reply rusty, so no need to book an appointment.
Just make sure to submit all requirements one hour before oath taking.
Going to make a holiday that Friday till Sunday.
