Spouse of a British national

What gets me is the thought if British citizenship is not compulsory why go ahead with it...???

This has been mentioned on here a few times before.

From my point of view the advantages are ease of travelling (especially europe/US) and if ever we choose to move to the Philippines my wife can always return to the UK at any point in the future with or without me. I don't think my wife sees the ability to vote as an advantage.

The reasons for doing it as soon as possible is I don't believe it will ever get cheaper or easier in the future.

That is what I call easy pickings....

They have a captive audience, so they can charge what they want.

True...
Plus... Filipina wife need not to queue in the ROW Immigration Control at the Airport lol...

She can freely travel Europe (which requires Schngen Visa), America, Middle East, Asia, Oceania, Australia... (that needs Visa to travel)

Returning to the UK from PI - Philippine Passport Holders will still need to pay Philippine Travel Tax and other Airport Taxes...

British Passport will be a great saving, come to think of it
