Good day!
I was born and raised here in the Philippines i am now 18 years old. I just got my Japanese Passport last week and now I already have two names; one japanese, one filipino.
Now I am holding both japanese and philippine (already expired) passports. My mom is filipina and dad is japanese. Now I know the rules that Japan does not recognize dual citizenship (when you reach 20) while Philippines does. I plan to live in Japan after graduation and work there for 10 years or more then go back here in the Philippines.
Questions:
I am going to japan in May, will Immigration question me because I don't have a dual citizenship? Do I have to renew my Philippine Passport? If so, do I have to show both passports upon leaving/entering the two countries?
What name and citizenship shall i put on the application forms, like banks, employment application forms, school registration forms? I am currently enrolled in my university as my Philippine name and I want to change it to Japanese.
