It's important to add the caveat that different countries have different views on this. For example, my understanding is that while the US does not ban dual citizenship, it is illegal for a US citizen to enter the US on a non-US passport.
- kelnos 3y agoI believe there was discussion on this in an HN post some months ago, and the consensus seemed to be that, while technically illegal, the law does not provide for any penalty for doing so[0]. At worst, you'd be denied entry, and then would present your US passport and be let in. (If you didn't have it, it would be more of a pain, but eventually you'd be let in after proving your citizenship through other means.) I think the bigger issue with trying to do this would be getting an ESTA/visa for US entry on your foreign passport. Anecdotal reports seem to suggest it's possible, but apparently there's a question on the ESTA form asking if you are a US citizen, and if you say yes, they're supposed to deny you.
