The UK revoked the citizenship of Shamima Begum, the Court of appeal overturned the decision but Supreme Court ruled against her and she remains stateless. That's the case I had in mind. I was unaware of the final outcome. Is there anything ongoing re. her passport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be an offence here but I held two UK passports for 10 years quite legally, all you have to do is show a good reason for owning 2. Many northern Ireland residents own Uk and Irish passports and many people from commonwealth countries have Uk passports as well as from their own country.

If it fills up then apply for a new one I can. If you have a job that requires a lot of travelling, your passport may sometimes be caught up in the process of getting a visa, or such. That means you need a second passport to be available for you in the meantime, in case you haven't got your first one back. This is actually not uncommon where I live. I believe most countries issue a second passport if it's needed for your work. Edited February 11, 2023 by thaibreaker 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more backward and third world the country the longer the process.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean a false identity? I have held two US passports for some years, for visa purposes. People would also have a Diplomatic, official or Military passport in addition to their personal passport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbkk Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 My 10 yrs validity UK "Jumbo" passport is almost full after just 2.5 yrs of use. Full-page visa's and random pages stamping makes for a 'poor use of space' scenario. I don't wish to have 2 valid passports at the same time but I'm being forced into it. Perhaps the slow arrival of e-visa's will help in this respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had two legal passports issued by the same Country for many years. Used them both in and out of Thailand, as well as many other Countries. I only needed to assure I was using the same passport for stamp in and out. Was not a problem in Europe, Canada or USA, as you were processed electronically and they did not need to see a stamp out from another country. . Had to Surender one passport , as I could not justify the re-issuance, when I retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
