The Petition for recognition as Filipino and Dual citizenship can only be availed of by former Filipino citizens. A special non-immigrant visa pursuant 47(a)2 of the Philippine Immigration Act is usually issued to those aliens who are working in companies which are duly registered with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), the Board of Investments (BOI) or those assigned to work in government projects.
I’m a Naturalized American Citizen who is currently abroad under orders and my family have been authorized, under orders, to reside in the Philippines. My wife is a green card holder but my son was born in the U.S. hence he is an American Citizen. Can my 3 year old son stay in the Philippines with my wife while I’m deployed? How long can he stay in the Philippies? What does he need to have in order to legally stay in the Philippines? What Law or policy does this fall under to? Where can I find this Law or Regulations? Please Advise, thank you.
