Two British passports, two visa - Grayscale Photo of Man in Black Leather Jacket

I have a L1 visa for my work in the USA. I also have a second British passport for my visas to other countries (China). I have approved visas. What passport do I show when I am leaving USA ? The one with the China visa in it or the one with my work visa?



Best Answer

This works exactly the same as with dual nationality, see the canonical answer: I have two passports/nationalities. How do I use them when I travel?. Treat it as case 1.

In this case you entered the USA with your USA visa passport, so you have to use that again when leaving the country (checking in). In China you show your passport with Chinese visa.

Keep in mind that the USA does not have exit checks. The airline will register you instead. So always use the passport you entered on to leave. The airline will also want to see you are allowed into your destination country. Showing your other passport along with a quick explanation will do.

Is having 2 passports illegal UK?

Dual citizenship (also known as dual nationality) is allowed in the UK. This means you can be a British citizen and also a citizen of other countries. You do not need to apply for dual citizenship. You can apply for foreign citizenship and keep your British citizenship.

Can I enter a country on one passport and leave on another?

Dual nationals may also be required by the foreign country to use its passport to enter and leave that country. Use of the foreign passport to travel to or from a country other than the United States is not inconsistent with U.S. law.

Can I have 3 passports UK?

Yes. The United Kingdom allows triple citizenship (multiple citizenship). This means that when you become a British citizen, you don't need to give up previous nationalities. Also, having other citizenships will not affect your application for British citizenship.

How many passports can you have simultaneously?

You can have as many citizenships as you want, but how many should you have? Well, it's all up to you. Four passports are usually sufficient, however, for some people, two or three will suffice. The first step is to diversify, and then you should cover all of your bases.
