What application progression, residence obligations, family consequences or further citizenship/residence possibilities follow?

After the initial five-year term expires, the holder may reapply for renewal five years at a time. An ex-Myanmar citizen has the right to apply to determine Myanmar citizenship, with admission to relinquish the other citizenship, if regranted citizenship after residing five years in Myanmar with the Permanent Residence Certificate, and may apply to continue the certificate's benefits if not determined as a citizen.
