There are several answers regarding the use of dual passports when traveling between the US and the EU. But here is a twist.    I have a flight booked from Amsterdam -> London -> US (and return). As far as I can see, I should use the US passport for airline passenger information for the whole ticket. US passport to be shown going into and out of the US (I realize going out of the US, this is shown only at the airline's desk). Dutch passport control, going in or out, show EU passport.    What should I do for London in transit? I would assume the US passport going out (consistent with airlines), but is that right?    Coming back, should it be the information on the airline manifest (which would be US passport) or the EU passport? (again, my best guess is to use the EU passport).

I am a dual Dutch-American citizen that is planning to visit Iran in the upcoming week. I have both a Dutch and an American passport.  According to the , "British, Canadian and American citizens are required to be escorted by a government approved guide at all times. Independent travel for these citizens has been banned due to the closure of Iranian foreign missions in these countries."  However, I asked an Iranian friend who said that I should have no problem as long as I enter on my Dutch passport, and this seems consistent with what I have read .   As Iran has a visa-on-arrival program for Dutch citizens, I assume that I can just show up at the airport in Tehran, show my Dutch passport, get a visa, and walk out of the airport and into Tehran.  Is this correct?  [edit 11/08/16] I've contacted the embassies of both countries and posted my answer below. My flight is tomorrow morning and I land in Tehran around 1am Thursday. I'll let everyone know what happens.

I am visiting the US in August 2014 for a week, returning home to the UK &amp; will then be visiting for another 2 weeks in October 2014.  My question is, can I use the same ESTA or would I need to reapply for the second visit? I think the ESTA lasts 90 days but I am unsure if you can leave &amp; re-enter?

I am planning to visit London for 6 days from the US. I have given my biometrics and when I was preparing to mail my documents to the UK visa processing center in the US, I used this link from the UK government website to cross-check the documents to be sent to the processing center.     (Guide to supporting documents).  Something that really surprised me was in Section 4 (documents that should NOT be sent along with the package) was hotel bookings and flights bookings.     Section 4: documents you should not send unless specifically requested      This page provides guidance on the types of documents that are not required to consider your application.         hotel bookings   flight bookings      Typically I have always been asked to provide my travel plans, accommodation plans and proof of them. This is the first time that travel plans and accommodation plans are not asked to be sent. What might be the reason behind it? This really confuses me. Any help in clearing my confusion would be greatly welcome.

I'm a Canadian citizen with a Canadian passport. I booked a flight with American Airlines to Mexico City From Toronto Pearson and it says that "Passenger details are needed to check in".  Flight 1: YYZ -> DFW -> MEX Flight 2: MEX -> DFW -> YYZ     They already took my name, gender and such. It is now asking for my passport number and expiry date. That all seems reasonable. However, when I enter that I am a Canadian resident it asks for:  1) Street or hotel in US 2) City in US 3) State in US    My trip to DFW is only for a connecting flight. The fields are required so I can't submit my passport information without filling this in.    Is there something I'm missing?

I am a permanent resident (U.S) and I'm crossing the border into Mexico and taking a flight to Mexico city. The passport from my home nation is expired and I'm trying to avoid the last minute 500 mile+ trip to the nearest embassy. My question is, can I get on the plane with my green card or state license? or my expired passport and birth certificate? also, can i get the FMM/tourist card with my drivers license? all the official information says i need a valid passport, but other travelers have had different experiences, does it just depend on the officer? I already purchased my flight!

I am going to Florida in a few days. I have a British passport that I acquired in September 2006. It has a "camera" symbol on front and is biometric. Just seen news items that only passports from October 2006 or later will be accepted by the USA. Is my passport valid for travel to the USA? I do have a valid ESTA.

Before departure the airline staff may check your passport stats to ensure you wont be rejected to enter the arrival country.  However, in some case Immigration office of arrival country will reject your entry even you have vaild visa. And normally you will be sent to the country where you come from by the airway you travel to there.  The question is, you are not the resident of the departure country, and the Immigration office also reject your entry, what will the airline do?  PS: I am talking those who have vaild passport and national identity, but not talking about the case of  who was stateless, nor those in Yarl's Wood Or Toulouse-Cornebarrieu.

Early in June I'll be travelling to the US..  I've heard various bits of news about the rules for taking laptops to the US. That they won't be allowed in hand baggage, or they won't be allowed at all, or no change has taken effect yet, or that they only apply from certain starting points.   What are the rules for taking a laptop on a flight from the UK to the US?  Where can I find up-to-date information on this?

I'm a citizen of country X and have a valid United States ESTA in my X passport.  Recently, I became of citizen of Y and now have a Y passport as well, which I would like to use for future travel to the US.  Both countries qualify for the Visa Waiver Program.  Can I have ESTAs in both passports at the same time?  The official CBP site seems contradictory, first :     If you obtain a new passport or change your name, gender or country of   citizenship, you will be required to apply for a new travel   authorization. This is also required if one of your answers to any of   the VWP eligibility questions changes. The associated fee of $14 will   be charged for each new application.   And then :     If you have dual citizenship and have registered with ESTA, you should   use your VWP-eligible passport to board the plane when you leave your   country of departure and when you arrive in the U.S. If both your   countries of citizenship are VWP-eligible, then we strongly recommend   you choose which one you want to claim for purposes of travel to the   U.S., and use that country's passport each time you travel. One person   with two different ESTA authorizations creates confusion that will   only delay your travel.   Cancelling the old ESTA would seem a valid way to fulfill both requirements, but there doesn't appear to be any way to do this?

Me and a friend will be travelling to the USA, Since we have a short layover in JFK airport, I was wondering if we have to use the non-US passport line, or if we can use the US passport line. (just looking for the shortest line)  I have a US Passport and my friend has a German passport. I also live in Europe right now.

For example, I want to go to the U.S. by airplane. I had the non immigrant visa (N.I.V.) from the American embassy in Turkey, issued to my Turkish passport.   I exited from Turkey by using the Istanbul Ataturk international airport, showed my passport at the exit control, and boarded my airplane. 12 hours later, I landed into the JFK international airport. I also have a 37-centimeter screen television and a computer with full battery, in the luggage. Should I declare the television and computer at the airport?  Also, what is the procedure at the customs/passport control? Can the customs officer check my luggage?  Note that when leaving from some airports for the U.S., you might pass through something called "preclearance". This is for most flights, i.e. non-preclearance flights.

An excellent  on this topic outlined the various different cases for how to travel on two passports.  One question relating to their Case 4: Different Names, Dual Citizenship Not OK.  (background note: this case involves traveller having Country A passport, and Country B passport, where Country A does not allow dual citizenship. Country C is a neutral third country where the traveller has the right to enter either visa free or with visa.)  When booking ticket A-C-A in Country A name, and C-B-C in Country B name, how do you manage to check into the C-B flight leg?  I.e. is it generally possible to book into the C-B flight leg without having to clear immigration in Country C, say at a transfer desk ? Or could you do this checkin online, and carry a printed boarding pass that gets validated at the transfer desk ?  I plan to travel through Changi airport in the near future, and am not clear if it will be possible to check into this second leg without having to go through immigration.

I am a British national living in Spain and my passport is either lost or stolen. I noticed this two days ago when I was intending to take a trip to Salzburg. As it happens, I managed to travel using my UK Driver's Licence. I think a severe mistake was made, as was pointed out to me in Austria, but as they were Schengen Countries, apparently all that is needed is a proof of identity, not a 'travel document'.  My question, therefore, is this. I have business trips over the next three weeks taking me from Spain to Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, and Italy, then back to Germany, and then to the UK. If I obtain an Emergency Passport from the Consulate here in Barcelona, would this be valid as an identity document within Schengen, before I eventually 'cash it in', so to speak, as a travel document when I make my trip from Germany to the UK?  I am hoping so, as I don't fancy my chances of getting back to the UK in time to secure an appointment for a fast-track passport. I am going to call the consulate tomorrow, but would appreciate any advice or prior experience.

I heard that you need a biometric passport if you want to enter USA. However, my friend has a biometric passport, but no fingerprints in it. Is this enough? And how long has the passport to be valid? Is it okay if it expires on the day after his return date?

In the other countries I have visited, when I leave the country, I have to go through immigration to formally leave the country. However, every time I've left the U.S., the departing process has been no different from any domestic flight, aside from needing to show my passport to the ticket and/or gate agent (i.e. no customs or immigration lines, etc.)  However, I've heard of others having dealings with ICE (the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement service) when departing the country. As an example,  on a recent question says in reference to leaving a country with a gold bar:     In the US, you would have to declare it. Last year, I got into a nasty run-in with ICE who were convinced I was exporting currency.   Specifically what I'm wondering is when and where would you make customs declarations when departing the U.S. by a scheduled passenger flight and how would ICE even know you had something declarable with you if you didn't tell them, since there's no customs baggage search or scanning that I'm aware of? Certainly there's no process like the immigration and customs process you go through to enter the country. Do whatever processes do exist differ between citizens and non-citizens?
