Dual citizenship. Am I eligible to travel to the US via the Visa Waiver Program

Dual citizenship. Am I eligible to travel to the US via the Visa Waiver Program - Crop unrecognizable person demonstrating British passport

So I'm planning to go to the US in December. I have dual citizenship, South Africa and Portugal. I was looking to travel on my portuguese passport using the visa waiver program. My only issue is I have been into the US on my South African passport previously (most recent being 2003).

Do you think this would be a problem? Previous visas are expired



Best Answer

Unless you've previously been refused a US visa or otherwise had issues with US immigration, it's perfectly okay to travel on your Portuguese passport. Millions of people with dual citizenship travel to the US each year so the border guards won't be surprised with your new citizenship.

Relax and enjoy your stay in the US.
