I was born in China, immigrated to Canada and obtained Canadian citizenship. I did not renounce my Chinese citizenship. After obtaining my Canadian passport, I went back to China for a while. I later returned to Canada via the US. I have a 10-year US visa on my Chinese passport and I used to it to travel to the US. Then I flew to Canada using my Canadian passport. Therefore, the last record on my Chinese passport is me entering the US. While in Canada, I decided to go study in the UK, so I applied for a student visa using my Canadian passport.  Currently I am in the UK as a Canadian international student and have just completed most of my studies. My dissertation is on the Chinese consumer market, so I am planning to return to China to conduct my research. However, I am very confused as to how I could return to China without the Chinese authorities finding out that I have two passports. Which passport should I use to travel?

I am flying in 10 days to another state to apply for a travel visa. As a foreigner, my passport is the only ID I have at the moment. How will I be able to travel back to my current state?  Will a photocopy of my passport and American visa, perhaps a letter, driver's license, and/or a temporary state ID work? (I don't think I will be able to get my state ID in time!)

Some countries (e.g., U.S., Israel) require their citizens to present themselves as such when entering the country - that is, they cannot enter using another country's passport.  In Canada there is no such requirement:  Currently, , if they have one.  Starting March 15, 2016, , except for U.S. citizens.  On the , it says:     Reminder      You cannot apply for an eTA if you are:         a Canadian citizen or a dual Canadian citizen, ....      Does this mean that when the eTA requirement takes effect, it will become illegal for Canadians to enter Canada by air using a passport from any visa-exempt country other than Canada or the U.S.?  If a Canadian citizen obtains an eTA using their foreign passport and enters Canada with it, what law or regulation will they be violating?

I am an asylee in the United States. I have a Green Card, and my primary passport which was issued by my country of origin. I am not allowed to go back to my home city and then return to the United States.   But, due to an emergency, I have to go there. So, I decided to use a third country to go to from the US, stay there for a while, and then go to my home city then.   Can I use the re-entry permit that gets stamped while departing the US, have my passport stamped in the third country instead of the re-entry permit? I would enter my home country with the passport, and return to the US by the same route, only by showing my re-entry permit and not the passport as if I have never been to my home country?

I went to China for my internship in a hotel and we extended my student visa for 1 year, also in China. One day the police investigated and told me that I can't work with a student visa and they deported me. My passport got a deportation stamp. Will that passport cause problems if I try to apply for a visa in other countries, like Australia, Canada, Germany?

I am a dual citizen. I have both a US passport and a non-US passport. I live in the US. My US passport is currently being processed for renewal. I am unsure whether I will receive my passport in time for a trip that I have scheduled. Could I use my non-US passport to leave the US and return? I have never entered the US with my non-US passport. There is no immigration leaving the US but I still need to scan my passport for ticketing. Will the airline refuse me a ticket? I know that in this situation returning with a non-US passport can be problematic as well, but will I be able to leave at all? Note that I am traveling to a country which neither of my passports are from.

Can I expect to encounter any problem when visiting the Republic of China (Taiwan) after visiting the People's Republic of China or vice versa?  I mean, some countries have political clashes with each other, and sometimes such clashes just poison a traveller's life. It happens sometimes that a passport with stamped visa of one specific country is not even recognized as a valid document by another country.   UPD: I'll be most probably on Russian passport, but I believe it would be nice if you can provide any kind of information on this issue, specific to whatever citizenship - just like @Tom Squires have done. So it can be useful to any traveller as well.

I am an Australian citizen, currently studying in Canada.   I entered the United States In July 22nd for 3 days, where I stayed in Seattle before leaving to return to Vancouver. I then again entered the states on 11th of October and returned on the 18th of October.  On October 19th my original and first Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), expired. I was under the impression that if I was to travel into the United States again I would have to apply for another ESTA and start the 90 days again, which I was planning on around December the 10th. In addition to this I am flying into Los Angeles on the 17th of December 2014 (where I plan to travel around the USA until flying out of Los Angeles again on 18th of January back to Australia).  However, after speaking to friends and looking at the website I have become confused on what my next course of action should be.  I am told that I cannot apply for another ESTA and be granted another 90 days visit into the USA, whilst I am in Canada and thus not be able to take any of my flights.  What would be the most appropriate action so that I can take my flights leaving North America and also travel the United States?

I travel from the US to Canada occasionally (about once per year on average) with my family. We are all US citizens and travel with US passports. Every time we re-enter the United States, I am given extra scrutiny.  Most recently, we used an automated check-in procedure at the airport. These are terminals where you scan your passport &amp; fill out a customs declaration online and it prints a receipt which you take to the customs agent. When I got my receipt, it had a big "X" printed on it and we were directed to a line to talk to an agent.  In the past, I've had questions directed at me or my family: "Have you ever been to New York?", "Do you own any firearms?", and once "Where is your daddy?" directed at my then 4 year old son. The agents also seem to examine my photo &amp; my face more closely than the other members of my family.  We get through customs OK, but it gives me a some anxiety. I suspect that there's someone out there with the same name (I have a pretty common name) who is on a "no fly" list or something.  My question is this: is there any way to find out what they're looking for when they scan my passport &amp; see my name? Like a Freedom of Information request or something? I know I could/should ask when I'm in the line, but as I said, it makes me pretty anxious.

I have a fairly convoluted situation:  I'm a British national currently resident in Bermuda. I have a Brazilian passport and also up until recently a British passport.  Earlier this month I lost my British passport while on holiday in Canada. This weekend I also have a trip back home (planned long ago) to the UK for 3-4 days.  The British consulate in Canada gave me emergency travel documents entitling me to travel to the UK via Bermuda, so that I could make the UK trip (since full UK passports take 6 weeks to reissue and there is no consulate in Bermuda). I'm now in Bermuda, half-way through my documents' journey. On them I can reenter the UK this week, but my issue is how I'm going to get back having now discovered the 1-day premium service for renewing passports is in fact not available for replacing lost passports and one cannot obtain more emergency travel documents in the UK, contrary to the advice of the consulate in Canada.  After fairly extensively analyzing my options I've deduced they're fairly limited. Extending the length of my trip in the UK is not desirable due to possible tax implications. However, one potential solution I've not been able to verify is whether I could travel into the UK on these emergency documents, then leave back for Bermuda on the Brazilian passport instead.  I know you can't enter the UK on a non-UK passport if you're eligible for one - but what about leave? Would Bermuda accept my Brazilian passport? Might it being a British overseas territory complicate things?

My friend got stuck in Morocco and is not allowed to come back France as she lost her residence permit card.   She has a long stay visa and residence permit card (carte de séjour, type: student) in France. Unfortunately, it was stolen in France just a couple days before her departure to Morocco (Chinese are able to travel to Morocco visa-free). She filed a police complaint of the loss (Récipicé de déclaration) and hadn't obtained the new permit card before her departure.   When she tried to come back, the airline staff declined her at check-in, as she doesn't have a visa for France. Now, she's stuck in Morocco.  She tried to ask for a return visa (visa de retour) from the French Embassy in Casablanca, but they declined her request. They also suggested that she return to China to apply for a new visa.   Instead of going back to China, are there other solutions to allow her to return to France?     Update:  Finally, I suggested my friend buy a combined ticket, Morocco --> France --> China, and try to go through French customs. Luckily, the officials in Paris passed her through customs. She is on the way to the Pink City:-)

I am a foreigner and my student visa expired last month. I do have an American driver's license valid until the end of next year. Can I still fly inside the US without being afraid they will check my papers and try to get me out of the country? I haven't used any of my European IDs or passport in 2 years since I got the US ID, so I haven't been showing them off. I've been feeling pretty secure with my license. What do you think?

I'm hoping someone may able to answer my question...  I am a dual citizen of US and Canada. I was born in the states but grew up in Canada and like alot of other dual citizens, I hold both Canadian and US passports. I have never lived in the states so I dont have the social security number and other documentations beside my birth certificate and my passport. (The officials in US consulate in Toronto never says its a problem without another US documentations when they know I never live in US)  My US passport has expired in April and I have since tried to make an appointment with the US consulate in Toronto, but the earliest appointment available at the time of booking was June 4th. Here's the problem ... I'm flying to Vegas on Monday and I am now worried if I will be denied entry into the USA with an expired US passport... I know I have to present my US passport at point of entry and cannot use my Canadian passport (which I have used for my last month trip to Asia).  Will the custom deny my entry ? I'm planning to print out my appointment page and present to the officer as well and was planning to go renew my passport in Nevada if i have to... just wonder if someone has similar experience
