Step 1: Starting Point
dynnamitt_homeYou most likely you have some sort of permission to live and work in the country you reside (Home Country). This could be a passport from that country that denotes citizenship, or a visa in another country’s passport that allows you to stay there. We will assume that wherever you are beginning your trip is your home. You were either born there or you entered with some sort of permission. With all that aside, decide where you want to travel to (Destination Country).
Example: Michael has both US and Italian citizenship and resides in the USA. He decides he wants to go to Brazil. Brazil requires a complicated visa for US citizens, but no such visa for Italians. He will therefore enter Brazil as an Italian.
Step 2: Book a Ticket

Passport to Show: The One You’ll Use at Your Destination
Often when you book a plane ticket to an international destination the airline will ask you for your passport details. If you have two different passports, you should provide the details of the passport you plan to enter the country you are visiting with. The reason the airline asks for passport details is in order to determine if you are allowed to go where you are going. If you are American booking a ticket to China it’s the airline’s responsibility to make sure you have a valid visa – otherwise they risk a huge fine. If you show them a Chinese passport that’s obviously just as good. Whatever document you plan to use on arrival is what you want to give the airline here.
Example: Michael books a ticket to Brazil and enters his Italian passport details with the airline.
Step 3: Check in at the Airport

Passport to Show: The One You’ll Use at Your Destination
Here we do the same thing as step two. We show the airline the passport we plan to use when we reach our destination country. It doesn’t matter if that passport does not allow you to be in the country you are departing from. That is not their concern.
Example: Michael checks in to his flight in the USA using his Italian passport.
Step 4: Departing Immigration

Passport to Show: The One That Allows You to Be Where You Currently Are
In most countries you need to clear exit immigration before departing the country. The US is a notable exception to this. Typically before you get to your gate, you have to present your passport and boarding card to some sort of immigration authority. Here is where things get tricky as you must present the passport that allows you to be where you are (home country) – NOT the one that allows you to go where you are going (destination country). Exit immigration authorities are concerned with if you are allowed to have been where you were. Not if you will be able to enter your destination. If you are starting in a country that you don’t hold citizenship in they will be looking for an entry stamp or visa that authorizes you to have been there.
Example: Michael presents his US passport in order to depart the US (not really applicable since the US doesn’t check this)
Step 5: Arriving Immigration

Passport to Show: The One that Allows You to Enter That Country
Chances are after you checked in with the airline they sent a list of everyone on the flight to the immigration authority of your destination country. It is therefore very important that when you present yourself at immigration that the document you present matches the airline manifest. Here immigration is concerned with if you have permission to enter the country you’ve arrived at, not if you had permission to be in the country you’ve just come from.
Example: Michael presents his Italian passport (matching what the airline shared) at Brazilian immigration and enters visa-free.

Step 6: Check in at Airport for Return Flight Home

Passport to Show: The One that Allows You to Return to Your Home Country
Regardless of what passport you used to enter your destination country, it’s time to show the one that allows you to be in your home country – since that’s where you are going. We are basically just doing steps 1-5 in reverse now.
Example: Despite entering Brazil as an Italian, Michael presents his US passport to the airline in order to fly home.
Step 7: Departing Immigration

Passport to Show: The One You Used to Enter
Here we continue to do things in reverse. Present the passport you used to enter your destination country in order to exit. Authorities will look for the entry stamp in order to match it with an exit stamp and complete your visit.
Example: Michael shows his Italian passport which he used to enter Brazil at the start of his trip.
Step 8: Arriving Immigration

Passport to Show: The One Allowing You in Your Home Country
We have come full circle now and returned to our home country. The passport you show here should be the one that allows you to live there, and also be aligned with the one you used in step six.
Example: Michael shows his US passport to the US immigration authorities.
Remember that you always must present yourself as a citizen of a country to authorities from that country. If you hold US and Italian citizenship you can not present yourself as an Italian to US authorities. The countries that issue you a passport will always consider you their citizen and never a citizen of somewhere else. This is very important. More questions? Want a personalized consultation? |
