filipino british passport holder

[goldilocks]

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie..

Anyways, I have just recently received my British passport and I know British passport holders are allowed to stay in the Philippines for maximum twenty one days.. right? However, I've heard this from someone that for the first year of issue of British passport, you are allowed to stay in the Philippines for more that twenty one days? I got told something like that, anyways.. Is this somehow true or just a complete nonsense..

Congratulations on your success.

Unless you retained your dual nationality, I think you will be only allowed 21 days like everybody else.

I may be mistaken, but I think it is the rule.

Good luck

HI GOLDILOCKS ME TOO CONFUSED ABOUT THIS BUT I GOT A LOTS OF FRIENDS ALREADY BRITISH BUT THEY CAN STAY IN THE PHILIPPINES LONGER AND THEY DONT PAY THE EXTENTION VISA AND ABOUT OUR HUSBAND AND FAMILY THEY CAN STAY LONGER ASWELL AS LONG AS YOU ARRIVE IN PHILIPPINES TOGETHER AND BACK TOGETHER....LIKE NOW MY FRIEND AND HER FAMILY ARE THERE IN PHILIPPINES OVER A MONTH BUT THEY DONT PAY ANY AMOUNT FOR VISA EXTENTION

[fred]

Former Filipino`s can avail of the balikbayan privilege on arrival which allows a stay for up to one year.
A British spouse travelling with them is also entitled to the privilege of a one year stay.
Or..Its an easy process to acquire dual nationality via RP embassy in London and then you will reacquire all of your previous rights as a Filipino including the ownership of unlimited amounts of land etc.
Now if thats not worth some rep power,I dont know what is.

[fred]

AS LONG AS YOU ARRIVE IN PHILIPPINES TOGETHER AND BACK TOGETHER..

No..They only need to arrive together..Once your Brit husband has the Balikbayan stamp in his PP he can leave with or without you at any time for up to one year.

[aromulus]

No..They only need to arrive together..Once your Brit husband has the Balikbayan stamp in his PP he can leave with or without you at any time for up to one year.

As I said......... I may be wrong.....

And I was.........

Good tip, Fred.

[fred]

No worries..Thanks also..

Anyways, I have just recently received my British passport and I know British passport holders are allowed to stay in the Philippines for maximum twenty one days..

Just a question, do you still have your Fillipino passport or had to give it back to get your British one?

[fred]

Thats a good question..
Long before the duel cit law came to pass I knew of a few Filipino`s that simply kept their old passports as they were not asked to surrender it..They simply used the old PP for Manila and their Brit PP for UK..When their old ones run out they would simply renew it when in Manila.. Totaly illegal..But nobody seemed to care back then..

I don't speak of an old expired passport but of his valid Filipino passport.

oh sorry i forgot about the cakes... i was eating goldilocks polvoron while writing the thread... hence the name... ahahah...

thanks again...

[goldilocks]

Just a question, do you still have your Fillipino passport or had to give it back to get your British one?

I still have my Filipino passport. I sent it off when I applied for my British passport and then I got it back before i received my new passport.

I think it is technically illegal to use my Filipino passport although it hasn't expired yet... right?

[fred]

So

I don't speak of an old expired passport but of his valid Filipino passport.

Sorry..I meant passports valid at the time New brit PP issued..
As Golilocks has illustrated..They just send them back to the owner.
Although this still valid PP should not be used for travel it is advisable to take it along as proof of being a natural born Filipino..In order to recieve a Balikbayan stamp in the Brit PP.

Republic Act No. 6768, also known as the Balikbayan Act of 1989, a "Balikbayan" refers to:

1. Former Filipino citizens holding foreign passports, including spouses and children with them.

2. Filipinos who have been continuously out of the Philippines for at least one (1) year.

3. Overseas Filipino workers.

Benefits includes

1. Travel tax exemption as provided under Presidential Decree 1183, Executive OrderNo. 283, and other allied laws

2. Visa-free entry to the Philippines for a period of one (1) year for foreign passport holders

3. Duty-free shopping privilege of up to US$1,500.00 with some limitations

...and other benefits.

the handbook for Filipinos for Overseas given at the CFO office is very useful, it contents a lot of topics and information including Dual Citizenship Law, Land Ownership to which there are limitations.

If the passport is valid it can be used to travel. If she's holding both passport, she's already a bi-national (she have the Filipino citizenship and the British citizenship).

As the Philippines recognize dual citizenship and unless the new country citizenship do not recognize the dual citizenship (like Germany or Austria), you keep your original citizenship also.

So you can use the passport you want for travelling, but what I highly recommand is to use the same one when you enter and exit a country.

For example: use British passport to go out of UK, use Filipino one to enter RP and later exit RP (you will have to show your british passport as proof you can enter freely UK) and use of course British passport to enter UK. Remember that each entry/exit are recorded by immigration.

Yes that's exactly how the Philippine consul instructed my wife to use her and the childrens passports..After she attended the notary public and took the oath in a simple ceremony..
Just because you have two passports does not mean that you are automatically a duel citizen..

Just because you have two passports does not mean that you are automatically a duel citizen.

Yes that's true as it's not a proof of citizenship neither in the philippines, UK or France too. But the fact you can renew it means you have the citizenship and even without the ceremony you can.

If both countries authorize dual citizenship, you do not lose the preceding one unless you voluntarely resign from it at your administration (or the new citizenship countries, like Germany or Austria, request it from your country, or your country remove it from you for a good and strong reason).

Let go back to the text of the Philippines laws, and you will see we are both true... Section 2 shows I'm right and last phrase of section 3 shows you're right.

REPUBLIC ACT NO. 9225

Anyway in my opinion, for those acquiring a new citizenship after september 2003, the dual citizenship ceremony is more useful for the Consulate to get a (good) fee rather than for the applicant.

With respect...It shows nothing of the kind.

Just good old plain English..

Out of intrest (ok not much on telly tonight) and maybe fred knows how long would it take me to become a pinoy citzen if i moved over tomorrow?

[PeterB]

Perhaps not so academic ... I'd be interested to know the answer to this too!

[fred]

Well ..its pretty late here...Like 530 am..but Ill give it a go..
As far as I have heared you will need to live here for at least 8?10 years before you are even considered for application(could be wrong)..
If you make it to Filipino citizen...Congrats!! your rights however will be no where near the rights offered too a natural born Filipino..
Forget owning land for starters..It ain gonna happen in our lifetime!!
Why bother?

I have no plans too just i thought it was unlikely as i never heard anyone who had achieved it over the years. But saw it mentioned in the example above.

I guess you must be getting though the smbs to still be up or did the chickens wake you sir?

[charlwill]

I am going to qoute what the immigration told us (Me and my husband before) when my ex-husband insisted to apply for citizenship in the Philippines. What the immigration told us that he must stay as a resident of the Philippines.
Qoute to what the immigration said.... " It is not worth applying for the CITIZENSHIP. SHE SAID IF U WILL APPLY FOR CITIZENSHIP, U WILL PAY SO MUCH MONEY. WHILE IF U R A RESIDENCE U WILL PAY ONLY P250.00 ANNUALLY.
So, I think that the best advice. Be a RESIDENT NOT A CITIZEN.

Maybe in the intrests of the phill goverment to stop non phills from buying up and taking over the country.
But if the phill goverment woke up and realised the investment in the country might shoot up if it allowed controlled forigen ownership and people being able to take dual citzenship with full propety rights etc.
Most of Londons success is down to the fact people from all round the world can invest and work here.


Say i came to phill to live and run a business which betwen the home and business employed 10 people thats changing 10 families fortunes, and as the business grew it employed more and more people plus the businesses who i traded with could employ more people. Does it matter whether a phill or a non phill runs the company?

rant over thats why phill is for holidays only for me to much grief opening accounts as an alien and the like.

I agree with everything that you say..
IMO if we are not allowed to own land or control a business here then Filipino`s should not be allowed to do the same in Britain or the US..
If this were the case I'm certain that Filipino constitutional changes would be swift..
GMA is for change but unfortunately her opposition on these changes are vast.
Not in my lifetime!!
Fortunately ,everything I "own" here will go to my kids.

[goldilocks]

I have never heard of someone wanting to change their citizenship to being Filipino.. ahahahah.. Have you?
