How does this work? i have dual Nigerian-British citizenship and i want to travel to the US from Nigeria. if I travel to the US with a british passport ( with ESTA of course) i will need to give the airline details of my UK Passport.  When departing, the airline will need my pp details on checkin and i provide my Nigerian pp details as it wont accept my british pp (saying i will need a visa).  how will the US know that the same person who entered with british pp is the same one departing with a Nigerian one?

I am a citizen of two different countries, and have two passports.  How should I use my passports when traveling?

I am a UK citizen, and therefore qualify for the USA's  (VWP). If I enter by  I need to apply for (and pay for) ESTA beforehand. If I enter by , I don't need ESTA. But I do get a 90 day visa waiver which allows me to go to Canada and return to the USA, on the same VWP.   My question is: If I first enter the USA on foot, from Canada (at Niagara Falls), return to Canada on foot, and then 3 days later fly from Canada into the USA, do I need ESTA? Or as my existing visa waiver is still in place, is that good enough?

OK, I will try and stick to the facts to explain this whole situation. I would really appreciate everyone's comments:   Me (Irish passport) my wife (Filipino passport) and 2 year old twins (Irish passports) all live in the UK. My wife has residence here. We are flying from Manchester to Doha. We're Planning to stay 3 weeks. As my wife had a UK residence stamp &amp; EEA Family permit visa, we called the UK home office to just verify if she could travel to Qatar without a Visa. They informed us (recorded conversation) that my wife had the same entitlement to me as long as she was traveling with me. I understand now, that our calls should have been straight to the Qatar embassy in London to Verify. We just took it from the UK Home Office as being correct. We arrive at Manchester Airport. We asked the Qatar Airways check in staff to verify my wife's passport to confirm she is entitled to entry in the state of Qatar. Check-in staff confirmed everyone is OK with my wife's passport as we board our 8 hour flight to Doha with our 2 year old twins. We get to Doha and my wife is refused entry at immigration as they say she requires a visa. Calls are made by Qatar airways to Manchester Airport - Qatar airways admit full responsibility for allowing us to travel when we should not have been allowed to travel. We have to re-book flights at Doha - Qatar Airways just changed our return flight to get us back on the next available flight.  We had to pay to enter a lounge in Doha airport with our own money, just so we can give our children some rest and food. We return to Manchester 8 hours later. The twins' double buggy is missing (still missing to date). I understand my wife didn't have the correct Visa, as we were given false information by the UK home office. But, they should not have allowed us to board a plane with those checks being done. If I had known at Manchester airport, I could have made the journey myself with 1 of my children, and I could have processed the Visa for my wife at our hotel in Doha. But, because were not noticed and all allowed to board, I was never given this option. Are Qatar Airways at fault? Should all our flights be re-instated? Are we entitled to compensation? Should they reimburse our expenses?   This is currently being reviewed by the airline. It would be good to get comments and peoples thoughts.

I am an American who wants to come to the UK to discern whether or not my boyfriend and I want to continue our dating and possibly marry in the future (not necessarily this trip). If I purchase a one-way ticket, will I be refused entry? I am allowed to stay up to 6 months with just my passport, but wanted to make sure that was, indeed, the case. I already have a place to stay, and I do not plan on working for the time I will be in the UK. I just do not know yet when I will return (within the 6 month period). Suggestions?

I'm travelling within the US and am a British citizen. Can I travel without my passport and just show my UK driver's license instead?

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.

So:   I am a UK citizen I work for a US company I currently live in the UK and have no US visa   What am I allowed to do when I enter the US on an ESTA? Am I allowed to work if I am getting paid in a UK bank account? Obviously a potentially contentious issue and I'm keen to get it right!

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!)

I was approved for an immigrant visa and later deny me before picking up my visa at the US embassy after a few days of my interview, cause they found out that from my previous interview (2005) 4 years before the recent one in(2009), that my information was mixed up on my passport. Eg, My name on my old passport had John Olamide Obie and the new one had John Seun Obie, But my full name is John Seun Olamide Obie on my birth certificate. The reason why i had issues with that was that we are only allowed to put 3 names on our passport. Plus old passport had 30 January 1985( Agent made mistake with my passport application) and my real birthday is 30 January 1979.  I have been giving the offer to study in Canada, but I don't know if that would affect my Canadian immigration application, since I had issues with the Us embassy in Nov 2009.  My understanding is based on the section that says:  In general: Any alien who, by fraud or willfully misrepresenting a material fact, seeks to procure (or has sought to procure or has procured) a visa, other documentation, or admission into the United States or other benefit provided under this Act is inadmissible.  Does that affect North American countries, since they share databased?  Thank You.

I am an Indian citizen residing in the United States. My wife and I are planning to travel to the UK for a week. We plan to apply for the UK standard visitor visa from the US. I was filling out the application and I have a few questions.   Travel History - The application asks for travel history to the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Considering that we're resident aliens in the United States, should we consider all the times we've traveled back to the US from India? Travel History - Should we also list out the times we've traveled to India from the US? Cost of the trip - Hypothetically if we plan to spend a total of ~4,000 USD on this trip, should I split up the cost and write down 2,000 USD on my application and 2,000 USD on my wife's application? Income - From what I've read on the forum, my wife must say that "someone else" i.e. me - is paying for her costs and mention my GWF number in the remarks on her application. Would that be sufficient considering that I'll be sending all income documents with my application? Savings - We have joint savings accounts. Should I mention the same amount on both our applications? Posting the documents - Is the up-to-date advice to send all documents in one packet? Or would sending them in separate packets at the same time be better? My thought was to annotate my wife's packet with my GWF number if we were to send them separately. Bank statements - We get e-statements. Would printing those out be enough?

I am a US Citizen, and I need to travel to Spain in a few days but my passport is recently expired. I have dual citizenship to Ireland and hold a valid Irish passport that states my birthplace is the US on it. Would I be able to travel on this Irish passport while also brining my expired one with me as proof. I read that as of last month you can travel back into the United States on a expired passport until December. Will this work for me?

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?

My old passport is in my maiden name and has already expired. My B1/B2 visa to travel to United States is still valid but is stamped in my old passport with my maiden name.   My new passport has my new name (old name got changed after marriage) but has details (like old passport number, father and mother's name) related to my old passport.    Will I be allowed to travel to US as long as I carry the my old as well as new passport?  Or Do I need to again get the visa stamped on my new passport?

My daughter has dual citizenship: US/German.  We will be flying from Germany to the US in 6 weeks. Her US passport will expire during our stay in the US, but not on the day of our flight (4 days later). Do you think I should get ESTA for her? Just to make sure that the airline will let her board the plane? Will there be any problems with getting back to Germany without ESTA and with an expired US passport?

I'm a UK Citizen, I have previously visited the US under the name of, let's say, Joe Smith. I am changing my name to, let's say, Joe Barnes.  My passport will be in the new name of Barnes.  Do I have to acquire a new ESTA? And what happens when I visit the US? Will those machines that print off the slip show my old name or new name? And will this lead to more questioning on entry?

I just submitted my UK Standard Visitor visa application and I inadvertently answered the question Did your travel outside your country of residence? with "NO", which should be "YES" as I have plenty of foreign travels as seen in my passport.  At this moment I can't edit my application anymore. I emailed them about this.
