Dual citizen leaving Philippines to USA

[Jeanine84 0]

I’m probably posting this in the wrong forum but I cannot seem to find the correct one please move if applicable thank you

 

ok my daughter is a us citizen and Philippine citizen she has dual citizenship. She has a us passport and a identification certificate as a Filipino citizen. She has been in the philippines for the past 10 years (she’s 12 years old) her us passport has been renewed twice since being in the philippines.

 

If she were to go to the USA can she just present her current US passport and identification certificate as a Filipino citizen?

 

We do not have her first us passport which has her entry stamp into the philippines I hope this will not be a problem as she is a dual citizen now.

 

Thank you

She is a US citizen, she can enter the USA anytime she wishes. She does not need to show any other status except her US citizenship (her valid passport).

All she needs to enter the US is her current US passport.......period.

Thank you

 

i guess I should re phrase this, 

if it will be an issue with Philippine immigration upon departure that I do not have her passport with entry to the philippines or  is her current us passport and recognition certificate enough since she’s a Filipino she wouldn’t have over stay fees

I've looked but can't find any specific information on this. What is the agency in the Philippines that manages passport control? I would encourage you to visit their website, if they have one, or even give them a call and get clarification on this before the trip. Or perhaps others with more knowledge can chime in on this.

 

If there's time and it's doable, consider getting a Filipino passport for her. That could really streamline things.

I moved this over to the Philippines subforum so that someone more knowledgeable can answer it there.

Entering the USA is not a problem.. all that is needed is her blue passport.

 

Your daughter does not have her Philippine passport?   Dang!

 

As an exiting USC she will have to get the ECC from BI, being she has been there for quite a long time this fee could be "large".   How large?  Check with BI on this to find out the fee.

 

If your daughter had her Philippine passport this would negate the need for the ECC and the most that would need to be paid is the Travel Tax of P1620.

 

If possible acquire her Philippine passport before exiting the Philippines

She has a recognition as Philippine citizen  (identification certificate)

 

So she will not have overstay fees as she’s a Filipino citizen

 

Im asking if it will be an issue that she does not have her original passport with entry stamp to philippines 

 

So she will be exiting on her new current us passport with identification certificate (Filipino)

 

thank you

No issue with not having the old U.S. passport.

 

I understand she has her recognition as a Philippine citizen (dual citizen).   But she entered the Philippines as a USC.    

 

Do check into this, don't leave it for the last minute.

I only assume that she has nothing to pay because I was in the same situation as her entering on a us passport and then I got my recognition in the philippines and left with both and didn’t have to pay fees as I was told it was retroactive , I did pay previously to my recognition overstay fees but after I got it I didn’t have to pay when I left.  And there was a good 3 years of fees I would have had to pay.

Maybe having the recognition document will negate the ECC fee.   I don't know.   You are the first that has told me this.   I know of a couple other dual citizens that had issues, they were there for college and got slammed with huge ECC fees, BI told them to get the Philippine passport then the ECC isn't needed.  So I am only sharing this info.

It's not a problem...and they have computers that probable have kept records. No one has to keep expired passports with them. You won't have any issue going leaving the Philippines and going to the US. 

 

Have a safe trip.
