I'm glad that it's now allowed, since my wife and step-daughter will be traveling back and forth for visits in the coming years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary D Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Although a dual citizen my wife will travel on her British passport, saves hassle and travel tax. Will intend to stay adout 6-7 months each year for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone, such as my son, who is a dual citizen of both the Phlippines and the USA, enters the USA with his US Passport, there's no need for any visa. The same goes for him traveling to the Philippines with his Philippines Passport, no visa needed. The OP is asking.... What are the advantages of having dual citizenship for your spouse.

The advantages of having dual citizenship for my spouse would be the same as the one for my American son (who was born in the Philippines)...i.e., having two passports (for easy entry into both countries without the need for visas). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife tried that and she was told to use her Filipino passport or pay a overstaying fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was she asked if she is still a Philippine citizen? Did she have to show proof, either the Philippine passport or certificate that shows she had reacquired her citizenship?

In any country a citizen has more benefits over a non-citizen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
