bbabythai Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 My toddler has a thai and New Zealand passport. I want to fly into Europe on the NZ passport as we evidently dont have to worry about visas. At Swampie airport immigration do we exit her using the Thai passport and then simply present the NZ passport at immigration in Zurich when flying in. They will not see an exit stamp in that passport. I presume they will accept the thai passport for that use? If we fly out of germany obviously we present the NZ passport and back into thailand with the Thai passport. Is this all correct? I presume we dont need a re-entry permit in the NZ passport. Thanks for any opinion on this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post elviajero Posted June 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2018 At BKK show the NZ passport to airline check-in and then use THAI passport to exit the country. Once you’ve left Thailand use the NZ passport. Do the reverse when heading back to Thailand; check-in with the THAI passport and exit Germany with the NZ passport. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topah Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 If you travel without mother make sure you have the consent done. I had no idea that thing even existed until me and my son both were pulled out at the Suvarnabhumi passport control. We almost missed the flight. My son has Thai mother and both Thai and EU passports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For check in it is normal to show both passports, as the airline will want to confirm that the necessary requirements for entry to the destination country are met.

OzMan Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 My kids have 4 passports. British, Canadian, Australian and NZ. I use my Canadian passport to get into Canada and that is all they check. If I feel in a grumpy mood I show them all my passports, that really gets them in a tiz. The airline do not care so long as you will not be blocked at the other end. As one post said, make sure you have a letter from their mother saying it is OK for them to travel with you. I have been stopped at Canada and the US for that. Fortunately they believed me when I pleaded ignorance. I also have a Green Card for the US. For all the fingerprinting, photographing and personal details, immigration at LAX still has not realised that I travel on two passports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pontious Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 What happens when the passports have different surnames - what name do you put on the ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I will have both. You should have both passports with you, but you only need to show check-in staff the passport they’re traveling (entering destination country) with.

Oddly the last time he travelled to Ireland Emirates wanted to see his Thai passport exiting BKK. Either waý I'm covered. The big thing as detailed elsewhere is parental approval. I have sole custody but always until he's 18 carry the court papers confirming this. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airline want to see the passport used to stay in the country to be sure a person can clear immigration before boarding the flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience they want to see both, especially in countries like UK, where there are no direct outward immigration controls, although it is not directly the check in staffs responsibility, they tend to check the passport of the departure and destination country and as the traveler would have both passports on them, then there is no harm in showing both if asked by the check in staff.

That is not my experience. Airlines are only interested in the travelers right to enter the country they are carrying them to. There is no need to hand over both passports unless asked for. Keep it simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree in keeping it simple, going back to when my boys were younger the check in staff would ask 4 times out of 5, the important thing to remember here is to only show the Thai passport to immigration.
