Hi,

I am a dual national (Brit and Australian) living permanently in Phil.

I have 2 passports and was wondering how to travel using 2 passports.

I know I must leave and return into Phil using the passport that my visa is in.

My flight ticket would be purchased using that same passport.

After leaving Phil and entering another country, can I use my other passport to enter with?

So entry that country using my other passport, in and out.

This country would not be either countries of both my passports.

I tried to research, but the answers are not very clear.

Any thoughts, experiences or knowledge on this matter would be appreciated.

Cheers

Michael

Why not just use one passport?

I agree with Big pearl. Just use one Passport. (As long as it isn't a Philipine Passport)

I have a Uk and German Passport, and just use the German One.

I stay in the philipopines with a 12 month BB Visa. ( I can't spell Balykbyan)

@avatar1562 IMHO, it's the way people dealing with both Arab countries and Israel are doing. Spies also. What's the benefit of having dual / multiple citizenship otherwise? Sorry if I haven't understood the question.

@avatar1562 decide what passport you will use for each country and keep using the same. Example if you are british australian and you entered the philippines first time using your British just keep using it when going back there during the years.

If you then leave philippines for a short trip to thailand you can use your Aussie passport to enter thailand and the again the filipino once going back to philippines.

Make sure to choose the passport that gives you the better benefits in your destination, example if you are going to Bahamas you UK passport will give you 240 days visa free while the Aussie only 90... therefore better use the Brit!
