Thread: 2 passports

hi, there. im chinese canadian with 2 passports. few days ago my father DHL the brandnew canadian passport to me in bangkok. can i leave aranya with my chinese passport with has stamps, apply cambodia visa in my blank canadian passport in poipet? cuz china passport made me crazy for visa issue.

also i have a reentry stamp in china pass, if i get a new tourist visa, which one will be used when i back to thai side, if the canadian passport cant be applied?

thanks.

The immigration officials at the land borders are a bit backward and will want to see your exit stamps in your other passport.

thanks guys. ive been immi office last week, the official not sure the operation. he said maybe you have to leave thailand, back with canadican pass. few minutes later, after he talked to another one, he seriously told me, that you cant have 2 pass while you in thailnd. it made me confused, does that mean i must directly fly thailand with canadian passport, otherwise, it wont work i mean by land border? but, but i did many times, fly to newyork change canadian pass back to toronto via us/canadian land border? will not work here in thailand? just curious nationality switch.

You can't travel on two. Whatever passport you start a journey on, you should finish on.

Example....Leave Indo on Indo passport and enter Singers on UK - no
Try and Enter Singers on one passport and enter on another...it won't happen.
I have 2 UK and one other passport - tried it once and it's a quick way to spend time answering lots of questions in a small office.

However, having clarified that you are the All Seeing Wonderbeast of immigration between two countries not related to the post or the forum, lets see how the conversation went....

So the jandjoy said the info given about two passports in Thailand was wrong, meaning it is acceptable. Note the discussion was about (in general) two passports (and specificly) in Thailand.

Your response was

"You can't travel on two. Whatever passport you start a journey on, you should finish on."

Which is incorrect (your first error).....you can. Perfectly legitimatel. Except of course between Indo and Singapore, which we know 100% because you (the oracle) have told us.

At this point you offered this as an example......note the wotd in my sentence and in your post, example..... not a discussion about that particular journey, but as an example as to why people could not travel on two passports.

See where I'm going here?

I then offered up two examples between Thailand and Singapore that proved it was no problem. Not only good examples, but related to the original statement and question about T-H-A-I-L-A-N-D

So Cocksucker, reign your fucking slime ridden neck in and get off your fucking high horse in regard to all things gospel about a journey you youself only offered up as an example.

Bit of a strange thread this one.

To the OP:

At Thailand's land borders, immigration officers don't like the 'passport swap' trick, on either side. Exit Thailand on the Chinese PP, the Cambo immigration is going to want to see the exit stamp in the Chinese PP. You'll struggle to get stamped in on the Canadian passport.

At airports they don't care. Lots of countries don't stamp out their nationals, so best to fly down to Singapore for the day on a cheap flight and then come back, using your Canadian passport to re-enter.

As for Singapore. I've flown from Indo to Singapore, exiting Indo on my Thai passport and entering Sing on my OZ passport. No sweat.

I've also entered Sing on my Thai passport having left OZ on my OZ passport. Again no sweat.

Done the above multiple times.

I'm sure now I'll be asked to keep up (FFS). So I look forward to those words of wisdom

Bob, are you a quality educator by chance? Can I ask how the fuck they check on UK visa overstay? Or perhaps they don't. Come now Bob, my wife has IL to stay in the UK, her passport wasn't checked on the way out, when she comes back, how will they know how long she has been away?
Perhaps immigration took a look at Dad and realised the folly of keeping the family back for possible immigration issues. Do try and get the passport renewed before you go back Bob, they may not let you in otherwise.Just out of interest, if you look at the date numbery sort of things in the passport then you can get an idea if it is still valid or not - just a tip there for you Bobbly.

hi jandajoy,

he do check my passports, cuz the canada passport is total new

I hold 2 passports (dual nationality) I used them both the last time I did my 90 day run to Laos.

The immigration officer said that "you can't have 2 passports in Thailand"

I argued and he gave in.

I have since learnt that a friend might have legal documentation showing that it is OK to have 2 passports.

I've asked my mate to email me the documents and I'll post them here if he sends them.

He, my friend, has been through this argument a number of times as his wife has Thai and Swedish passports.

woo, cool. but seems officer not friendly to Asian, cuz i have china, japan and canada passport. last time, i went for student visa extension, the staff let me wait more than 3 hors, finally she told me many chiinese use Fake documents. the next day, i extened japan passport, cuz i worked for a japanese company.surprisely, the same one told me she cant give stamp, 'how come you use two passport!' and also she deleted my visa in my china passport. after i phoned my school, she then asked me to come another day with student letter. after that, i never use 2 pass while i in thailand

well, lets see how it goes, i will ask my thai gf phone to immi, i still dont understand the issue

3 passports on the go at one time is asking for trouble you should get a fourth or fifth and enter thailand as first time visitor each time you arrive

The main issue is that Thais are ignorant and have no idea how things work outside of Thailand. Just stick to your guns at the border and if you have to show both passports, then it shouldn't be a problem as long as you know you're right and he's wrong. There's usually a boss there who's 'wise' and has seen it all before, so you'll be OK.

Or, alternatively the imm. officer will be too scared to question his boss and let it go anyway.

That's what happened to me.

no, you can't whilst in Thailand

you must leave on the passport that you have a visa in

you can then enter Cambodia on the new passport (you may have to give the guy some cash so there are no arguments, but it is legal to do that)

you then leave Cambodia on the new passport and enter Thailand with it

this may not work with the day visa trip, so you may have to get a proper Cambodian (or Laos or ...) visa to enter and leave

have a little holiday in Laos

It may be something you can bribe yourself around but it ain't "legal" (whatever legal may be)

Having just got off the phone to my mate that knows, I must say you seem to have summed it up nicely Andy.

I have done it before, no problems

ever see ''Lord of War'' ? keep things simple or things are bound to turn sour, Country's like Oz wont tolerate Passport juggling, 2 are only Good for an Emergency or for a Quick escape, do you wish to be looked upon as suspicious...

Yes you can.

And no you can't. You may have got away with it, but NO you can't. Firstly singers immigration will be looking for an exit stamp in the UK passport, and singapore like Indo doesn't allow dual passports.

I've tried it trying to save space in a passport - they won't have it.

Just because you may have got away with it doesn't mean you can do it. Singapore immigration have a particular bitch about Indonesians who have gained another nationality.

So, you can enter Oz on an Oz passport? (OK so far) and leave on a Brit one (for example)? Without showing the Oz one....? Really?

Having watched the anal Oz immigration service at work, I have a hard time believing that statement.

Agreed. Most err.... "up to date" states don't care to much which passport you used to exit your previous country. They'll log you in on whatever you present. IMO.
