hello..
how about if the baby is going to be born in Korea? (Korean mother and Filipino father) What is the procedure for that? Should i also register my baby at the phil embassy? and do you have any knowledge of what name the baby should follow – korean or filipino name, or is it possible to have both names registered?
Hi I just have one question. I read the information provided on this site, and it is clear to me that the process of the report of marriage in Korea takes only three days, however, my husband told me that it takes seven days. Do you have any idea why is it so? or they have new policy required by the city hall in Korea now?. I’m sorry I just want to know, because this is the only document I am waiting for so I can get an interview at the CFO in the Philippines. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to hear it from you soon. God bless.
Hi,
I just want to ask if can I still register the birth of my daughter in the Philippine embassy. She is already 3 years old here Korea. I want her also to obtain a dual citizenship just like my other friend’s children. Is it already late to register? If not, what are the requirements needed.
Thank you
Hi Chrys! If you were a Filipino when she was born, you could register her as a Filipino. Just ask for the late registration.
im unmarried girl and i have 2 korean baby and born in philippines and they acknowlegde by their father in their birth certificate,,, i just want to know if do i need to register them in korean embassy for them to become korean or dual citizenship???
Hi Alhex! You should ask their Korean father to inquire at the Korean Embassy. However, from what I know they will not get Korean citizenship unless the parents are legally married.
Can a filipina mother get a higher chance of getting a tourist visa if she had a baby from korean bf? They are unmarried but the father recognized the child as his own. Can the child use his father’s fam name when the child is born?
Hi. Am pregnant amd filipino. My husband is korean. Am just wondering how we should name our baby. Can I put korean and english names in baby’s birth certificate?
Thanks.
That’s possible now, but you could also choose a name that doesn’t sound too Korean. A friend’s daughter is named Christine (Korean spelling though) and my son has a classmate (who is pure Korean) named Esther (Korean spelling).
Hi! My baby was born here in the philippines and we are planning to go to korea next month. He’s 2month old. He will be traveling with me and my korean husband. Just wanna ask if you have idea kung anu ang travel documents n kelangan ng baby q? And kelangan pb ny kumuha ng visa s korean embassy? Thank you in advance s reply 🙂 God Bless!
Hi rio. We have the same situation. Does your son have a passport already? And do you have your visa already?
Hi. I would like to ask if the requirements for spouse visa are the same even if our marriage has already been registered in korea? Same as our son’s birth. I will greatly appreciate your response. Thanks!
Hi, to be able to register our child’s birth in Korea, do we really need to be married?
