I am not really sure if this is applicable for all Filipinos who are Korean citizens. From what I remember, only Filipinos who had their application for Korean citizenship approved from July 1, 2010 may be eligible to apply for dual citizenship. I could be wrong though.
really? oh my if that’s true they’re so unfair. I hope it won’t. Thanks for the information ^^ more power in this site.

Hi Ana! Anong nationality ng anak mo? Korean citizen ba siya? At ikaw ay Filipino citizen? Kasi depende sa sirkumstansya mo.
american citizen po ang anak ko at ako po ay pilipino citizen..asawa ko po amerikano at dyan ko po sa korea pinanganak ang anak ko..6months po sya nung umalis kami ng korea..paano ko po sya puedeng kuhanan ng dual citizen since dito po kami sa hawaii..puede ko po ba syang iapply through online or ano po ba ang way para makuhanan ko ang anak ko ng dual citizen?may balak po kasi kaming magbakasyon ng medyo matagal sa pilipinas..sana po ay makakuha ako ng kasagutan ukol dito..maraming salamat po.
Hi Ana! Since Filipino citizen ka nang ipinanganak mo ang anak mo, automatic na Filipino citizen siya. Kailangan na i-report mo ang pagkapanganak ng bata sa Philippine Embassy noong wala pa siyang isang taon. Nai-report mo ba ang pagkapanganak niya?
Hi Ms. Betchay, gusto ko po magpa-dual citizenship, I’m married to Korean, though not yet fluent to speak Korean language. Ano po ba ang requirements? Pauwi uwi po ako ng Pilipinas pero if accumulated ang pag-stay ko dito sa KOrea, more than 2yrs na rin po. May chance po ba ako?

Hi Jennifer! Hindi niya kailangan ng hiwalay na passport. Pagdating mo sa Pilipinas, sabihin mo bigyan ng balikbayan visa ang anak mo. Kung gusto mo silang magka-Philippine passport, i-register mo sila sa Philippine Embassy sa Seoul.
hello pwede po ba akomag apply ng dual citizen kami ng anak ko? ano po ba angmga kailangan thank you po
Good morning po…dual citizen na po ako ask ko lang po kung pwede kong ipresent both passport ko sa immigration…at ganun din po sa mga anak ko thank you po
HI Shellane! Kailangan isang passport lang ang gagamitin mo.
Good evening po…di po ba ako overstayer na dahil one year na akong nandito sa pinas korean passport ang ginamit ko nang mag entry ako dito sa pinas…if so ano po ang dapat kong gawin…and one more thing plan ko po magtour sa america aling passport po ba ang mas madali akong maaaprubahan ng visa?…thank you po
Hi Shellane! Sa US hindi mo kailangan ng visa kung mag stay ka ng less than 90 days gamit ang Korean passport mo. Kailangan mo lang mag apply ng authorization online. Yung isang concern mo Filipino citizen ka rin naman so pag nag exit ka pakita mo lang yung dalawa mong passports. Pero pagpasok mo ng Korea dapat Korean passport ang gamit mo.
Good evening po…thank you po sa information pero mayrun pa po akong itatanong iniinvite po ako ng friend ko sa America ano po ba ang mga dapat nyang gawin at dapat ko ding gawin para ma isyuhan ako ng visa…pasensya na po kayo kung makulit ako……
Pwede nyo po ba akong bigyan ng website para po sa pag apply ng authorization online…..thank you po uli
