Alpo Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Is it legal to leave a country on one passport and enter a different country on a second passport? I've been told that the United States does not believe in dual citizenship, but many other countries do. If Mama and Daddy had been on vacation in Toronto when I was born, I would not only be a United States citizen but I would be a Canadian citizen. So could I fly out of JFK on my US passport, and into Heathrow on my Canadian passport? Legally? Do you have to leave a country on the same passport you entered on? If I entered England on my Canadian passport, would I have to leave on my Canadian passport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Many folks here in the states have dual citizenship. I did till I was 21. Yes, it can be done with a Passport from the second country. I do so when I traveled to SA with my Godparents. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which brings up another question: Will leaving a country on one passport and entering a different country on a second passport draw attention from people one would rather not having poking around in one's life?

Sedalia Dave Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 When I was in the Navy I flew into Crete on a Navy EP-3. I left 3 weeks later via commercial air. When I went through customs in Athens the Greek customs agent asked me why I had no entry stamp in my passport. Had to show him my Military orders and ID card before I could leave the country.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Most times when you enter a country, they don’t know how or when you left the previous country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple of times left Aust on my passport or ID card (military aircraft) and entered the other place on an Official passport and then the reverse coming home.

Japanese and U.S. because she was born in Japan (Okinawa at the time) to American military parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a few years, but if I recall correctly, going into Israel didn't get a stamp in the passport, it got a stamp on a separate piece of paper.

Sometimes there are bigger reasons than our own skins to do so. Not fun, but sometimes necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
