Dual Nationallity

[mkstyle]

Hi guys

I know that this question has been raised before, but I couldn't find any really good answers. My question is if I have dual citizenship and my case would be as follows. I would leave Thailand with my Thai passport and fly to Denmark. I will do the swap in the airplane, so when I arrive at Denmark I will use my Danish passport. And when I leave Denmark I will use my Danish passport, so when I return to Thailand I will use my Thai Passport to enter. Is this possible?

Question two is

In which passport number should I buy the flight from thailand to Denmark, or is it irrelevant under which passport I buy the air ticket?

Question three

Denmark do not allow dual citizenship so can I still do it If I don't tell them?

doesn't matter what you book the ticket with.

Question 1 (your first paragraph) - that's the way to do it.

Question 2 The name on your ticket has to be the same as the name on the passport with which you travel. If your name is exactly the same in both passports, as already stated, it probably doesn't matter. But for the advance flight information, if you're checking in online and have to give your passport number, it's probably best to use your Danish passport, as you can travel in either direction without a visa.

Question 3 If you don't tell them, how are they going to know?

I also have dual nationality and do the same thing when I travel between Thailand and the US. I usually book my tickets using my US passport number...

RE: Question 3.

I know a chap from Belgium who lived in the UK for several years and applied for a British passport, after he got it, he received a letter from the Belgian embassy in London stating ... " We were informed by the British Authority that you received a British passport, this is not acceptable under Belgian law, hence " ... as a result his original passport and his Belgian Nationality was cancelled.

Yes, the UK informed Belgium, that is how they got to know... how many countries inform each other on this, no one knows, but it is no doubt being done.

If Denmark (like Belgium) does not accept second passports, why then did they issue one to a Thai Passport holder ? clarification please ...

If Denmark does not accept dual nationality (second passports) as you stated in your posting, how then did you obtain your Danish passport in addition to your Thai passport, unless ....

1). You were born in Denmark and your first passport was Danish, and later you applied for a Thai passport, (that is to say if Thailand accepts dual passports) and Thailand did not inform Denmark of the issuing, thus Denmark does not know and you can use it until they find out.

2). The other way round, you were born in Thailand, your original passport is a Thai passport, thus in order to get a Danish passport you have to apply for one, but since (as you stated) Denmark does not accept dual passports, how did you

get one?.

2) Let us say you have a Thai and a Danish passport. You will then have used the Thai passport to enter Thailand, it will have the entry stamp. Now when you want to check in using your Danish passport, won't the airline staff check your visa status (which will be missing in this passport)? Or is it ok to have two passports in Thailand?

Not sure why you respond to a one month old topic, but the airline staff doesn't check your immigation status in Thailand and it is OK to have dual nationality anyway.

Only persons who opted to become a Thai citizen (went to the long process of applying for Thai citizenship) are required to use their Thai passport when entering and leaving the country.

the airline staff doesn't check your immigation status in Thailand

Indeed, they are only concerned that you will be allowed in at the other end as they may be subject to a large fine if they allow a passenger to fly who does not have entry clearance at their destination. Your immigration status in the country you are departing from is no concern of theirs.

If in doubt about this, or if check in staff do ask, then simply show them both passports.

It is the same at one's destination. Immigration officers there are not concerned about where you have been, only that you can legally enter their country. So if you are a Dane entering Denmark just show them your Danish passport.
