Tanong lang..naisip ko lang if after citizenship ceremony and nakuha na ang Aussie passport, do we need to inform the Philippine Consulate/ embassy na Aussie citizen and passport na tayo? Or necessary lang yan if gusto natin mag dual citizenship?
Thanks in advance! ;-)</blockquote>
Republic Act No. 9225 or the Citizenship Retention and Re-acquisition Act of 2003 is a law passed on 29 August 2003 which grants natural-born Filipinos who have lost their Filipino citizenship through naturalization in a foreign country, the opportunity to retain or re-acquire their Filipino citizenship.
If you have an old unexpired philippine passport, you can still use it and get all the privileges as pinoy citizen. You are an automatic dual citizen. However once it expires, go to the Immigration Office and apply for dual citizenship (if you wish to) or just apply for PERMANENT RESIDENCE VISA (13G) known as returning former natural-born filipino citizen.
