Step by Step Guide to Entering Exiting a Country with Two Different Passports
So I’m not sure when it happened, but my post on How to Travel with Two Passports has become the most popular post on this site by far. Because of the volume of (very similar) comments I receive on that post, I’ve created this post as a follow-up. If you haven’t read the first post go and check it out. If you have and still aren’t sure about traveling with two passports, this post is for you. I’m going to run down a step by step guide on how to enter and exit a country with two different passports. I will walk you through each step that would require presentation of passport. If anything is still unclear, please ask me in the comments.
Because so many of the questions we get from this post are similar, we now have a Frequently Asked Questions About Traveling with Two Passports – check it out!
Step 1: Starting Point
You most likely you have some sort of permission to live and work in the country you reside (Home Country). This could be a passport from that country that denotes citizenship, or a visa in another country’s passport that allows you to stay there. We will assume that wherever you are beginning your trip is your home. You were either born there or you entered with some sort of permission. With all that aside, decide where you want to travel to (Destination Country).
Example: Michael has both US and Italian citizenship and resides in the USA. He decides he wants to go to Brazil. Brazil requires a complicated visa for US citizens, but no such visa for Italians. He will therefore enter Brazil as an Italian.
Step 2: Book a Ticket
Authority: Airline
Passport to Show: The One You’ll Use at Your Destination
Often when you book a plane ticket to an international destination the airline will ask you for your passport details. If you have two different passports, you should provide the details of the passport you plan to enter the country you are visiting with. The reason the airline asks for passport details is in order to determine if you are allowed to go where you are going. If you are American booking a ticket to China it’s the airline’s responsibility to make sure you have a valid visa – otherwise they risk a huge fine. If you show them a Chinese passport that’s obviously just as good. Whatever document you plan to use on arrival is what you want to give the airline here.
Example: Michael books a ticket to Brazil and enters his Italian passport details with the airline.
Step 3: Check in at the Airport
Authority: Airline
Passport to Show: The One You’ll Use at Your Destination
Here we do the same thing as step two. We show the airline the passport we plan to use when we reach our destination country. It doesn’t matter if that passport does not allow you to be in the country you are departing from. That is not their concern.
Example: Michael checks in to his flight in the USA using his Italian passport.
Step 4: Departing Immigration
Authority: Government Immigration Department
Passport to Show: The One That Allows You to Be Where You Currently Are
In most countries you need to clear exit immigration before departing the country. The US is a notable exception to this. Typically before you get to your gate, you have to present your passport and boarding card to some sort of immigration authority. Here is where things get tricky as you must present the passport that allows you to be where you are (home country) – NOT the one that allows you to go where you are going (destination country). Exit immigration authorities are concerned with if you are allowed to have been where you were. Not if you will be able to enter your destination. If you are starting in a country that you don’t hold citizenship in they will be looking for an entry stamp or visa that authorizes you to have been there.
Example: Michael presents his US passport in order to depart the US (not really applicable since the US doesn’t check this)
Step 5: Arriving Immigration
Authority: Government Immigration Department
Passport to Show: The One that Allows You to Enter That Country
Chances are after you checked in with the airline they sent a list of everyone on the flight to the immigration authority of your destination country. It is therefore very important that when you present yourself at immigration that the document you present matches the airline manifest. Here immigration is concerned with if you have permission to enter the country you’ve arrived at, not if you had permission to be in the country you’ve just come from.
Example: Michael presents his Italian passport (matching what the airline shared) at Brazilian immigration and enters visa-free.
*Michael enjoys his vacation in Brazil*
Step 6: Check in at Airport for Return Flight Home
Authority: Airline
Passport to Show: The One that Allows You to Return to Your Home Country
Regardless of what passport you used to enter your destination country, it’s time to show the one that allows you to be in your home country – since that’s where you are going. We are basically just doing steps 1-5 in reverse now.
Example: Despite entering Brazil as an Italian, Michael presents his US passport to the airline in order to fly home.
Step 7: Departing Immigration
Authority: Government Immigration Department
Passport to Show: The One You Used to Enter
Here we continue to do things in reverse. Present the passport you used to enter your destination country in order to exit. Authorities will look for the entry stamp in order to match it with an exit stamp and complete your visit.
Example: Michael shows his Italian passport which he used to enter Brazil at the start of his trip.
Step 8: Arriving Immigration
Authority: Government Immigration Department
Passport to Show: The One Allowing You in Your Home Country
We have come full circle now and returned to our home country. The passport you show here should be the one that allows you to live there, and also be aligned with the one you used in step six.
Example: Michael shows his US passport to the US immigration authorities.
Remember that you always must present yourself as a citizen of a country to authorities from that country. If you hold US and Italian citizenship you can not present yourself as an Italian to US authorities. The countries that issue you a passport will always consider you their citizen and never a citizen of somewhere else. This is very important. More questions? Leave them in the comments.

How to Travel with Two Passports
So first things first, in order to travel with two passports, you actually need to have two (or more) passports. There are a few ways this can happen. This is definitely the coolest…
But assuming you aren’t a secret agent government assassin like Jason Bourne, you may have to go through other channels to acquire that second passport.
After you read this post, if you are still unsure which passport to use when and what exactly the rules are, please consult my Step by Step Guide to Entering & Exiting a Country with Two Different Passports. We also now have a Frequently Asked Questions About Traveling with Two Passports - check it out!
So How Do You Get Two Passports?
• Dual Citizenship by Acquisition – The most common way to have a second passport is if you are a citizen of two different countries at the same time. Mostly this covers individuals that started out their lives in one country and then for various circumstances moved to another eventually acquiring their new country’s citizenship without giving up their original.
• Dual Citizenship by Birthright – Alternatively you could have dual citizenship through birthright. Let’s say for example your parents or grandparents came from another country and because of that country’s laws, you qualify for citizenship there as well. This can all get very complicated, but you see it a lot with people of Italian, Irish or other European descent.
• Additional US Passport – A third option is to actually get a duplicate US passport which is possible by special request. You just need a reason to justify having two simultaneous passports and the State Department will issue you an additional two year book. Obviously having two of the same passport doesn’t give you all the benefits of having two passports from different countries, but it still has its perks.
Benefits of Having Two Passports
• Visa Issuance: For frequent travelers, having to send your passport away to issue a visa can be a problem if you need to travel during the same time-frame. Having two passports (of the same or different countries) solves this by letting you send one passport away while you continue to travel on the other.
• Country Conflicts: Not all countries get along. Some don’t recognize others existence and some take it so far that if they see a stamp in your passport they don’t like they may not let you in. Let’s say for example you visit Israel and then later on the same passport you need to visit Lebanon. Lebanon is not going to let you in because of that Israeli stamp but a second passport provides a clean slate and no questions asked. Remember: although the country that issued your passport may be able to see your travel history, other countries for the most part, cannot.
• Visa Requirements: Every country’s passport brings with it different entry requirements as you travel around the world. Having two passports from different countries lets you choose which passport is the most beneficial to use at any given time. Because each citizenship is absolute, you never need to present yourself as a dual citizen but instead whichever you prefer at the time (there is an important exception to this which I will get into later). For example, Chandra and I are both US citizens but I’m also an Italian citizen so last year when we went to Brazil Chandra had to go to the Brazilian Consulate and get a $140 visa but I just opted to travel on my Italian passport which has no visa requirement for Brazil and I entered for free.
• Reciprocity Fees: Some countries may not require you to have a visa, but may charge you a “recriprocity fee” to make up for what your country charges their citizens when they enter. Americans feel the effects of these fees the worst and mostly in South America. US passport holder? A visit to Bolivia will cost you $140, Paraguay $65 and Argentina $160, just to name a few. Got another passport? Use it instead!
• Immigration Lines: Definitely the most trivial of the benefits, but most countries make it far easier for their citizens to enter than foreigners. Have an EU passport? Enjoy a shorter line in all 28 European Union countries.
• Citizenship Rights: Obviously a passport denotes much more than just travel benefits. As a citizen of a country there are endless benefits such as right of abode, work permission, land ownership, possibly healthcare and even education. But it also gives you the rights of that country while traveling. For example let’s say you’re abroad and shit goes down. Thanks to your second passport, now you can beg for help at two different embassies!
• Avoiding Controversy: Sometimes governments don’t make the best decisions. Sometimes you may want to avoid a potential security risk. Sometimes, in movies, the terrorists separate all the Americans and let everyone else go. Sometimes it’s good to have two passports.

When to Use Which Passport
So I mentioned earlier that since citizenship is absolute, you can decide which passport to use based on which is better for you given the circumstances. But there is a definite exception to this. You must always present yourself to authorities of your country as a citizen of that country. This is very important. You can’t commit a crime in your home country and then flee to your other country’s embassy. You can’t enter your home country using your passport from another country. Doing these things will have serious legal consequences so here are some important procedures to remember should you have two different citizenships.
• When traveling internationally, you must use a single passport for each leg of a trip. You can’t switch mid-stream. Meaning, you can’t check into a flight in New York using your American passport and then enter Brazil using your Italian passport. This will cause problems because the airline records the identities and citizenships of everyone on the flight. Your information won’t line up.
• It is especially important to always enter your home country using that country’s passport. Let’s say you have two passports and you are returning home to the USA after a trip abroad. For some reason you decide to enter the US using your Italian passport. Now you are in the US as a visitor and granted a temporary entry visa. After three months, that visa will expire and you will technically be in the United States illegally, even though you are also a US citizen. Avoid messes like this. Use the proper passport from check-in all the way through to immigration.
• It’s a good idea to always travel with both of your passports no matter where you are going. You never know what may happen. A friend of mine, unaware of how things work, recently traveled to Argentina using his Israeli passport and left his US passport at home. When trying to board his flight back to the US from Buenos Aires he was denied boarding because he didn’t’ have a valid visa to enter the US. Even though he is a US citizen, he didn’t have his US passport and was out of luck. He ended up having to fly to Canada and have a family member drive his US passport across the border to Montreal so that he could reenter the USA. Don’t do that.

Things to Keep in Mind
• Unlike Jason Bourne, you are not a secret agent. You may think that because you have two passports it’s like you are two different people. But in reality most intelligence agencies will verify a passport not just on name and nationality, but on name, birthday and other info they always ask for when entering another country. The bottom line is that if the government wanted to figure out if American you and Italian you was the same person, it would be pretty easy. Don’t pull any funny business.
• Follow the rules on when to use which passport and make sure you always present yourself as a citizen of the proper country to immigration and other officials.
• Never leave your home country without your home country passport. And never enter your own home country without using its passport!

Please note that for simplicity sake many of the statements I make in this post are very US-centric and also overly simplified. In truth, acquiring secondary citizenship can be very complex and each country will present new challenges in how you then must interact with the world. Be sure to do the research pursuant to your specific situation.
