  • Use two passports ?

    Recently Naturalized and got my US passport. Can I still use my old passport to enter my old country ?
    and use the same old passport to leave the old country and then when I landed in USA is it possible to present my US passport to enter USA ?

    Will there be any issues coz my US passport doesn't have any stamps of any place where i traveled. ?

    I do the following when I travel:

    - Leave the US with my US passport (the airline enters your info into the flight list which is checked with Homeland Security). When you are a US citizen, it is in fact the law that you leave and enter the US with a US passport.

    - Enter my old country with my old passport.

    - Leave my old country with my US passport (again airline is entering your passport info into their system). My old country is OK if I leave my old country with the US passport and show them my old country national ID card.

      Technically your old passport is no longer valid., Once you naturalized to be a US citizen. you are no longer a citizen of your old country. You need to apply for dual citizen then apply for a new passport.. Except for travel Tax or if you are going to stay longer than one year. I don't see any benefit of using your old passport.

          This depends on your old country. In my case, I became automatically a dual citizen; i.e., getting naturalized in the US did not mean in my case that my old passport was not valid anymore or that I lost my old citizenship and had to apply for dual citizenship. I gained dual citizenship automatically when I became a US citizen.

          Every country has its own rules. So you need to check how your old country deals with dual citizenship.

              There are indeed many countries who do not accept dual citizenship. So you need to make a decision.
