Let us compare dual citizenship and permanent residency: No. 1, if you are a Philippine dual citizen, you have the right to travel with a Philippine Passport, something that you cannot enjoy by simply being a permanent resident in the Philippines. According to some, having a Philippine passport makes travel to the Philippines easier because you can avoid long queues in the Immigration. Your Philippine passport may also allow you to enter with ease some countries which you cannot easily enter using your foreign passport. But what really makes the difference, I think, is about the sense of pride and joy that it brings to a person who deeply values his/her original citizenship - his/her being a Filipino. No. 2, the right to own real property in the Philippines. Kung ikaw ay isang Philippine dual citizen, you have the right to own land in the Philippines. It could be residential, commercial, industrial or agricultural. The only limitation on land ownership is that you can own up to a maximum of 5 hectares only of agricultural land, which limitation applies to all citizens of the Philippines as imposed by the agrarian reform law. • Kung ikaw naman ay isang former Natural-born Filipino citizen, in short, a foreigner, you can still own land in the Philippines but subject to the lot size limitation: for residential purposes - up to 1000 sqm of urban land or 1 hectare of rural land (RA 8179) and for business or investment purposes - up to 5000 sqm of urban land or 3 hectares of rural land (BP185). Condominiums are subject only to 40% limitation on foreign ownership, so you don’t have to become a Filipino dual citizen to buy a condominium unit. No. 3, as a Philippine dual citizen, you can engage in a business in the Philippines, without the restrictions that apply to foreigners. For foreigners po kasi, kasama po dito ang mga former Filipinos, you can engage only in business wherein foreign ownership is allowed. Although recent amendatory laws have relaxed the restrictions on foreign investors. No. 4, the right to practice one’s profession. Kapag na-retain o na-reacquire mo ang Philippine citizenship mo under RA 9225, pwede mong ma-practice ang profession mo sa Pilipinas provided that you get your license from the Professional Regulation Commission or in the case of lawyers, from the Supreme Court. But if you stay as a foreigner, you cannot engage in the practice of the profession na naka-lista sa Negative List na binanggit ko kanina. Maliban na lang kung may agreement ang Pilipinas with the other country on reciprocity; meaning, pinapayagan din ang mga Pilipino na mag-practice ng nasabing profession sa bansang yun.

Thanks for the detailed info about the comparison between dual citizenship and permanent resident visa. I am a lawyer by profession but had no inkling about both rights. I became a dual citizen last September, 2022. At least now, I believe that I made the right choice of applying for dual citizenship.Although I am a lawyer by profession as a member of the Bar, I don't intend to practice the same. Your detailed comparison was a good for thought for me.

[@kitty_s23456]

Hi. There's no age restriction when apolying for either case. Even if you're 90+, you can apply if you're eligible. For dual citizenship, I've heard that it's faster to apply at a PH consulate/ embassy than at the BI office in Manila. If you're living outside of PH, inquire from the embassy/ consulate nearest you. You'll have to go to the embassy for an oathtaking ceremony. For the 13G viss, you'll have to apply for it from PH. It takes 3 to 6 months (or so I've heard).

[@richardcraft929]

I read all the comments so far and did not find one that fits our situation. I am an American. My wife is a citizen of the Philippines who has just taken her oath of allegiance in the USA. Our plan is for her to become a dual citizen. When I retire and move to the Philippines using a SRRV visa, I will be collecting multiple retirements. I will probably have the retirements set up to guarantee her a lifelong income from those accounts. Now, my question is: if her source of income is from a retirement account in the US, does it get taxed in the Philippines if she is a dual citizen?

[@ppppaz6023]

I think no ask ph embassy

[@hudazki1149]

the answer is No. PH wont tax you if your source of income is from US. Same as a legal resident working in US. The only way PH will tax you if you have a source of income or properties in PH.

[@desert-fax-only]

If resident of the Philippines, subject to Philippine Income Taxation on income from sources within and outside the Philippines. (Sec. 5, RA 10963) This from the video itself.

[@hudazki1149]

USA and Philippines has tax treaty. im dual citizen. you dont have to pay taxes. the consulate told us and show the paper in regards with taxation. IRS however can tax you if you have income outside US.. if you are a Filipino with only working visa or a work contract abroad then there is a chance you have to pay taxes in PH.

[@nobelyncabiguen7071]

You wife as a former filipino citizen can also apply for srrv visa as principal applicant and you as her dependent spouse is way much cheaper in terms of dollar deposit than you as a principal.

Can u discuss or give an information about selling properties in the Philippines of a non dual citizen? Properties acquired prior to becoming naturalized citizen of a foreign country

[@YourLawyer]

If you are a former Filipino (now a naturalized citizen of a foreign country) who still owns a piece of land in the Philippines which you acquired prior to your naturalization, you have the legal capacity to sell it.

Mag file ng Capital Gains as Non Resident Alien that's what I think. Dual Citizen ka you file capital gains Philippine Tax as Filipino citizen. I think. Atty here can respond to enlighten us.

[@YourLawyer]

@@nanettecuauhtli5866 Yes, if you sell a real property in the Philippines, that will be subject to Philippine taxes, ie, capital gains tax and documentary stamp tax. In fact, you cannot transfer the proceeds of the sale to the other country through the banks unless you can present proof that you have paid the taxes in the Philippines. Under the tax treaty of the US and the Philippines, the tax is payable in the Philippines, but US tax law requires that the income from the sale should be declared in the US. If the US citizen desires to avail of the tax privilege under the tax treaty, he/she has to provide the proof to the US government that taxes were paid in the Philippines.

Permanent resident visa for former Filipinos lasts for a lifetime, subject to the renewal of ACR-I Card (Alien Certificate of Registration- Immigration Card).
