Answer 2

In order to renounce your citizenship, you will have to renounce it at an embassy or consulate of the nation you wish to end your citizenship with. This must done overseas or outside of such country (in your case the Philippines) and must the official renunciation must be done in front of an authorized consular representative.

Many nations do allow dual citizenship, but many don't. The U.S. allows their citizens/nationals to hold multiple citizenships. They don't support it, yet they won't challenge it if one was to obtain another nationality.

Answer 3

Yes, but in your specific case, I don't see any specific advantages.

The Philippines, for all intents and purposes, is an undeclared territory of the United States, and has been that way since the Spanish American War.

Hundreds of US citizens, especially the very wealthy ones, leave their citizenship behind once they can find a haven for their millions that won't tax them to death.

Good luck with your decision.

Answer 4

Phillipines are an independent country. The US gave them their independence shorly after WWIi.

Talk to the immigration and naturalization people. I think this only applies if you're coming to the US from a country that is hostile towards us. Better check, what "Is "and what I think might be contradictory.

Answer 5

yes you may renounce your citizenship to the Phillipines ,
do think carefully before doing this ........
in order to do this , you must go to the nearest embassy of your country in the US and so declare it with appropriate paper work .......

Answer 6
