Actually yea, when I got my second citizenship I was explicitly informed about the legal difficulties of two passports. It is somewhat advised to only ever carry one passport when abroad, but it's critical in a lot of areas, that you use the same passport whenever crossing the boards of a particular country within the same visit.
- Havoc 7y ago>only ever carry one passport when abroad No that's 100% wrong and provably so (see below). You absolutely have to carry all because there are situations where you'll legally need a mix. Using my example: South African and EU passport. Suppose I'm flying from SA to Spain. Airline desk: They want the EU passport. Because they get screwed if they fly someone into the EU that has no right being there. Outbound immigration desk: Has to be SA passport. It's 100% ILLEGAL for me to present the EU one here - under fine or imprisonment Inbound in Spain: They'll want to see the EU one because the SA one doesn't have a suitable visa stamp. My "I presented both" comment is based on an observation that generally playing open cards with officials will result in them selecting the most favourable one. e.g. Iceland won't tell a German "oh we see you also have an afghan passport so you can't enter". Plus I like to play open cards. I have nothing to hide. You want to check both passports...go for it.
