    Dual Citizenship

    Hi to all, just wondering if there is any way I can have my Dual Citizenship in Cebu instead of going to Manila? I just recently been naturalized as British Citizenship was thinking to get a Dual Citizenship in Philippines, I am not sure if there is any in Cebu. Thank you

    Take a look here at FAQ's - Citizenship Retention and Reacquisition it should answer your questions

    Do check with the authorities about what they will do with your passport. In the overseas Consulates and Embassies they will cancel your existing Philippine Passport and issue a new one. Just how it gets managed domestically I don't know. But be careful with any current visa/entry stamps in your passport.

    Yes Mark it'll be returned to her. The passport itself will be cancelled but the all the visa's
    contained in it will remain valid. She'll need to carry her old passport with her whenever she travels in order to 'show' the valid visa's.

    As far as I know Mark ILR basically gives you full rights as citizenship apart from not having a Brit passport and is usually revoked if u spend more than 2 years outside the UK amongst others travelling restrictions ect without appropriate.visas...

    Lot's of benefits with Dual Citizenship especially if there's any chance to be out of UK for 2years or more.

    Indeed. For one it means you would be part of the most exciting and best country in the world There isn't a Great Australia is there - oh no, just Great Britain.

    And on a more serious note, with a British passport you can pretty much walk into most countries in the world worth visiting without having to apply for a visa
