Can I be naturalized after getting married in the Philippines?

Marriage between Chinese and Filipinos belongs to the category of foreign-related marriage, so the regulations that need to be observed in the Philippines and China are somewhat different from those of our own citizens. The specific meaning is that the materials that need to be prepared are different. Can I be naturalized after getting married in the Philippines? Here is a brief introduction.

How Chinese and Filipinos Marry in the Philippines

Since I chose to get married in the Philippines, the first thing to understand is two fixed regulations. The legal marriage age for Filipino women is 16 years old, and all women who meet this age group can apply for a Philippine marriage certificate. The other is that there is no divorce in the Philippines, that is to say, after two people get married, there is no problem of divorce. Divorce is illegal, and the price to be paid once divorce is very high.

After understanding the basic needs, two people need to prepare their own valid identity documents, single certificates, financial certificates and no criminal certificates in accordance with the basic regulations to apply for marriage certificates at relevant institutions in the Philippines. After submitting the application, there will be a publicity period of about 10 days. If there are no problems between this publicity period, then the marriage certificate can be obtained after the time has passed. Only then can the wedding be held in the Philippines.

Can I be naturalized after getting married in the Philippines

In the naturalization regulations of the Philippines, if a foreign citizen wants to be naturalized in the Philippines, he must legally live in the Philippines for 10 years before he can apply for naturalization. If you marry a Filipino, this period can be shortened to 5 years. If a foreign woman marries into the Philippines, she can be naturalized directly. Once these conditions are met, you can become a Filipino citizen.

After getting married in the Philippines, there are two ways to make your marriage valid in both countries. One is to obtain a marriage certificate from two countries, so there is a record of marriage in any country. In addition, after receiving the marriage certificate, go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for filing, and the local police station changes its household registration and marriage column. In this way, obtaining a marriage certificate in the Philippines can also find out your marriage relationship in China.
