Hey everybody, thanks for watching this video ^_^ I just wanted to add one point of clarification after receiving some messages on Facebook. I made a slight mistake in the exit procedure leaving from the US. Because it's been so long since originally left The USA I mixed up the procedure with the one that I've seen in almost all of the countries that I've traveled to with what happens in the US. At this point in time the USA does not stamp passports upon exit from the country and the exit immigration procedure seems to be taken care of by the commercial travel operator you choose to travel with, automatically submitting any information. However after doing a little a little digging, it seems as though the US is considering reinstating the older procedure of stamping which would most likely work in the same way that I mentioned in this video. Sorry for any confusion! Happy travels!!! Regardless of the destination you leave from, if local officials speak to you asking for documents and you have documents from that country, show them your local documents.. however again I'm not a lawyer or legal advisor. This is just what I would say might be a good idea to do based on my own personal experience.
Note that although there is no physical exit passport control when leaving the US, there are electronic exit checks. The details that you provide at check-in are sent to CBP and stored by them. This is also the case in the UK.
Simple. When entering or leaving a country where you are a citizen use that country's passport. Every country expects its citizens to present as citizens regardless of what other citizenships you might have. When entering or leaving any other country use whichever passport gives you the most benefits (visa cost/free, length of stay, etc). If you enter a third country use the same passport to exit.
I'm an Argentinian who's getting the Italian citizenship through Jure Sanguinis (il mio nonno era di Sicilia) and this was really helpful. Thank you very much.
Glad you found this helpful! Good luck on your process ^_^ Best wishes to you! It’s always great to hear when people finish their process so be sure to keep me updated!
Very helpful. My two daughters and my husband both have Canadian and Italian passports. Older daughter lives in Switzerland and now my younger daughter is going to the Netherlands, so this is great.
When I leave the US via San Francisco International Airport, there is no passport control. So what I do when I fly to the UK is I tell the ticketing desk I'll be leaving on my US passport and entering the UK on my UK passport. Then I show the security agents my US passport.
Buying your ticket is separate from passport control. On your flight from the US to the UK, show whichever passport you booked the flight under to the airline and at the gate as you board the plane and show your British passport when you go through passport control when you land in the UK. You don't need to tell the airline that you're leaving the US with your American passport but entering the UK with your British one
So if you use a U.S . Passport to leave the U.S. and use an EU passport upon arrival, in let’s say Spain. Once you return to the U.S., your U.S. passport won’t have an entry stamp from Spanish immigration showing you entered Spain. Won’t U.S . Customs give you a hard time since there is no entry stamp on your American passport showing you ever visited Spain?
An important addition here. It's not that you enter the EU once and then there's no border control. That's not true. Schengen area is a group of countries that have abolished their border checks and act as one, that is no border control between these countries. It does indeed include mst EU countries, plus some NON-EU countries, that is Norway, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Iceland. It does not include, however, countries like Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus, the UK and Ireland (the two latter having formed their own common travel area, or let's say a "Schengen minore") This means that indeed since you entered via Greece, there is no need for border controls to go to Italy, but that wouldn't be the same if you entered via the UK or Bulgaria, for instance. Let's say there are 4 levels, in terms of ease of entering a Schengen country: 1. Schengen Area Country (EU/EEA) 2. Non-Schengen EU country (all EEA countries are in the Schengen area) 3. Visa free third countries 4. Third countries with visa required. So to conclude, border check free travel between EU countries is only a thing within Schengen area. Hence you see in the airports the "Schengen area travelling" and "Non-Schengen area travelling" distinction.
I travel the world on My Irish Passport and Use My Australian Passport solely to enter Australia. In Australia they examine My Passport, ask Me a few Questions (sometimes even a lot of Questions) and then let Me In. In Ireland, they simply Wave Me Through the moment they see the Cover of My Passport and announce “Welcome Home”.
Hello Rafael, love your videos. I’m a dual national, USA and Italian and have 2 passports. Unfortunately my Italian passport is with the name Vincenzo and my USA under the name Vincent. Was hoping you could advise on how/when to use the passports.
you are wrong, buddy. when you are leaving the usa or canada, there are no immigration check points. it means usa and canada really like to see anyone to get the hell out of their places, if you have a valid passport. and if TSA don't know your destination is a foreign place, your driver license is just ok. so the only person who cares if you can enter your destination is the airline check in desk employee.
You are correct that I made a mistake in the video however the US does have an exit check in place, but from what I’ve heard it’s not a good thing if you’re required to go through it. And yes you are correct that the ticket agent is the only one who (usually) is interested but from what I’ve been told after recording this is that they report to the US border control. Also I have been to Canada by car and they at that point for sure did an exit check.
When I travel in North America, I use my canadian passport. Everywhere else, I use the European one. One time, after a very, very long trip from Mauritius to Montreal, I showed the european passeport, the officer took both... but let me go (I was just coming back home). I like your channel. I'm watching all the videos from the beginning. :) Buona serra !
Hi Rafael... Love your videos... I'm from Brazil, and taking the italian citizenship by the maternal way... For me your videos are really awesome, help to clear the thinking of some people who might think that just have a european passport, and as consequence the life will be easier, as magic... In Brazil in the middle of a crisis, people think have a doble citizenship is the salvation. In my opinion in a certain way it could be, but just have a european passport isn't enough... You approach all these in a very soft way... Congrats ...
Oi Philipe Muito obrigado para sua kind words! They are very much appreciated ^_^ I hope these videos have been helpful to you and I wish you lots of luck! But you’re absolutely right Italian citizenship is much more than just an EU passport, it could be a form of salvation for some that might be from an area in a difficult situation however the privilege to be able to call Italy home and to be a citizen of such a country is an honor and something I feel very blessed to have in my life. I wish you all the best of luck and please keep me updated ^_^ Com os melhores cumprimentos:) Rafi
having 2 passports is wonderful as you can purchase one way tickets and stay as long as you want, arriving in the US the lines are shorter for US citizens, in the philippines the foreigner line is always faster, going to the US embassy in manila i feel like having a fast track with disneyland as the wait time is much shorter.
It's an absolute blessing to have two. You might be surprised though, sometimes it's less expensive to buy a round trip ticket than a one way. but it all depends on the carrier and destination.
I always thought it was when you're leaving the US, use the US passport, and the Italian passport when you arrive in Italy and vice versa... holy jeez there are a lot of different rules. I'd be afraid I'd get interrogated if I messed up and start crying (I'm extremely sensitive) I love these videos... very informative. :)
Once you do it once you remember, haha I made a little mistake in the order when coming to Italy... haha will never make that mistake again, didn’t get in any trouble, but it was a bit annoying haha
I'm glad to see you're sticking with the video series. :-) It's a great source of info for those of us who felt the need to escape from the "group." :-P
Hey there Stranger ;) Thank you ^_^ This is a subject I'm passionate about and I really want to help other's as much as I can. I'm almost afraid of which group you may be referring to haha Anyway thanks for coming back to check out another video ^_^
Once again getting ready to go hometo visit I have the unsettling feeling about using 2 passports. I was born in NZ immigrated to US and been a citzen for years . I renewd my NZ passport around 2010 . Every time I go home I chicken out and just use the US . I always buy a round trip ticket and leave from LA.and always give US passport . One time they told me at airport I could use NZ but I didn't... This is what bothers me. if i give them the NZ one at checkin at LAX when I go through the lines at security I have to have passport and ticket . My ticket would have the NZ passport number on it so wouldnt that cause a problem showing the US passport and my ticket having NZ passport info.when they scan it there ..also at the gate the same thing .. Ive watched this video but this still is scary that I will screw up and not get back in here since Ive lived here for eons ..Id like to have the confidence one time to use it and did only going from NZ to Australia for a week . Thank you
I'm Ecuadorian and American when I enter my country I only use my American passport and I stay as long as I want plus my Ecuadorian passport is already expired.
That's great you're able to travel so freely. Each country has it's own rules and ways that they enforce them, seems like you've been quite fortunate :)
Carlos Uquillas My second country REQUIRES you to enter on THEIR passport or else. They have very clear lines between citizens and non-citizens, if I even use the non-citizen line I'd be put in a back room and interrogated for hours on end. I can't imagine what would happen if I tried to enter on my American passport.
One exception is Ireland and U.K. it’s fine to use Irish passport as you will be treated as being on equal footing as U.K. passport so you can just use the Irish one
When you book a round trip ticket, you only have to put your passport info in once. So if I am traveling from USA to Germany - and I have a German and USA passport - I would think I should put in my German passport info? But now this German info is in the roundtrip flight. So when I fly back to the USA, the airline would have my German passport info for the ticket. Which seems opposite of what I should have. Is this right?
What if you have different legal names on the two passports? Should I do the same process or need to do something else? And what if my home country is not in Europe? Pls advise
Also, how do you know when you're dealing with American passport control or the airline? They often just ask to see your passport without telling you who they represent once you clear the TSA line.
from my understanding... it's better if you get the stamp. If you're going back and forth between countries and don't have an exit stamp then it can appear as though you've been there since that date even if you've left.
Surely if you flew from Italy to the US via Amsterdam, you'd have no passport check in Italy and instead go through the passport checkpoint in the Netherlands anyway?
7:31; Not quite. Schengen zone countries’ airports are without passport checks within two Schengen countries. If you travel out of Romania, Cyprus, Bulgaria or Croatia in other country in EU but it is in Schengen you have passport check. And then if it’s connection flight between let’s say Germany and Spain (both in EU and Schengen) there isn’t another passport check.
I need some clarification. If I have dual Passports from the US and Italy and I book a trip from the US to Italy using my Italian passport number so I can enter Italy on my Italian passport. Then when I go home I need to use my Italian passport to exit Italy, but then use my US passport when I arrive in the US. The question is about having an ESTA authorization to board my flight back to the US. ESTA is electronic and needs to be obtained before my travel back to the US. How does that work? If I get ESTA is it going to draw a red flag when I show up in the US with a US passport instead of my Italian passport?
Yeaaa that's what i thought.. but there's no passport control leaving Canada.. is it? Im i losing my mind? I don't remember (prior to covid) there being any customs ppl.
Hmmm I might have to watch that a few times. I’m a EU passport holder from UK living in US 40 years as resident planning to get citizenship in next few months along with US passport. Planning a September 2019 Italy trip and trying to figure out passport logistics
If you're here for less than 90 days use whichever passport will be easier to use. Depending on Brexit both passports may end up giving you the same experience at passport control. But if no visa waiver is needed on one but needed on the other, go with the one that doesn't need the visa waiver. Have fun on your trip ^_^
For security reasons scan the id pages of both passports and any other id. then use a camera card (sandisk) to put this info on. then if your wallet and or passports get stolen, then you have a way of identifying yourself. Or get someone in your family or a lawyer to keep your copies for you. so if your id gets stolen, the local police can call your family member or lawyer and have the scanned documents sent over. then after dealing with the police you can deal with te appropriate embassy or consulate to get a temporary passport issued in order to leave whatever country you are in. when getting your id scanned, get it done by a lawyer or notary public and the scanned documents attested to in order to make sure that they are legitimate copies of your documents. that way you can not be accused of having forged documents.
Most airline systems allow you to change your api (advanced passenger information) between your out leg and return leg. Though they can get confused. If so it tends to be worth it and removes some red tape. Especially if you are dealing with the US.
What passport should you use to purchase an airline ticket if you have Global Entry and a KTN and are leaving the US for Italy and plan on returning to the US after staying in Italy for 4-5 months? Since Global Entry is a US security program I assume you use your US passport to purchase the airline ticket?
This has likely already been pointed out but regarding your point of not requiring the showing of passport/ID when moving across borders in the EU, this is very wrong. I can only assume you are referring to the Schengen Area when you mention this, as borders under this agreement are effectivly invisible meaning there are little or no border stops, however you are still required to have passports and ID, and must register at a local police station after a week of staying in a country. The Schengen Area (SA) consists of 26 countries, 22 of which are EU states. The remaining four are the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) member states: Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Switzerland; although Monaco, San Marino, and Vatican City are effectively de facto members of the SA. There are 28 EU states, the remaining 6 are Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, and Romania which are legally obliged to join but haven't yet, while the other two are Ireland and the United Kingdom which have opted out because they have their own effective agreement in place called the Common Travel Area. The Common Travel Area (CTA) is an agreement between the governments of the Irish Republic, the United Kingdom, and the Crown Dependencies of the latter (Isle of Man and the Channel Islands), which much alike the SA allows for the free movement of people and goods with little border control along with minimal requirement for ID (a birth certificate works), which pre-dates the SA by many decades. Moving from the SA to the CTA, and vice versa, requires a passport, much the same as moving to anywhere else in Europe outside of those areas. I would massively suggest doing in depth research if you are planning on visiting Europe and moving across borders as some borders are very much open (or appear so) but crossing them would in fact be illegal. Take the Hungarian border. In 2015, the Hungarian government decided to erect a fence along the 109 mile Serbia border, later adding fences along the 216 mile border with Croatia, all to prevent the thousands of migrant workers from crossing into their territory. Other than signs here and there, in many places you would have no idea you would have crossed the border despite Hungary being an EU state and Serbia not being one. If you attempt to leave Serbia without an entry-stamp you can face heavy fines or even imprisonment!
I could not understand. I want to ask you. I have two passports, a French and an American passport. When I want to travel to France, and I am in America, I use the American passport when leaving, and when I arrive in France, I show them my French passport, like this or not. Please reply
Hi, i just recently became Italian citizen. I entered the country with my other passport, also the ticket was bought with that one. When I return to my country, what you are saying is that I have to show the passport of my country at the desk of the airline and then through immigration with the Italian correct? And by the way, I have a connecting flight in the US and my passport will be close to expiration (less than six months). Thanks
I have an Irish passport through my dad's birth there but my grandmother was also born in Italy and grandfather born in the USA shortly after his parents arrived from Italy. I don't believe any of my great grandparents were naturalized USA citizens or my grandmother. I believe I also qualify for an Italian passport. Any advice?

What if my last name in one passport is different than in the other passport? My Peruvian passport has my maiden last name plus my husband's las name. My American passport only has my husband's last name.
It really depends case to case... some people in Italy have done it in a matter of weeks some months some years. But usually outside of Italy it can be between a a year and a half and 5 years depending on the consulate, but currently for the LA consulate the wait I last heard was about 7 or 8 years just for the initial appointment. But if you’re looking for someone to help you through everything I’m more than happy to make a recommendation via email. My email address is Info@RafaelDiFuria.com
@@RafaelDiFuria I'm willing to travel to Italy if I can get it down faster. I've been there a few times. I currently do also have an EU passport through my fathers birth in Ireland but would also like an Italian passport through my grandfather. I will email you.
One little problem in your explanation. Obviously , as an Italian citizen when leaving Italy to return to the USA you show your Italian passport to Italian passport control officials. However, if you show your Italian passport to the ticket agent he/she must confirm you have a Visa waiver. The Visa waiver is required for Italian citizens to enter the United States. If you don't have the Visa waiver, you can not board the plane. As a citizen of the USA no visa is required. The problem is solved thusly: purchase your round trip ticket with the American passport and show your USA passport both to US officials, and airport agents in the USA and Italy. . Enter Italy and leave Italy showing an Italian passport to Italian officials . I have been doing this for many years with no problems.
Giovanni Serafino .. so I'm in a somewhat odd situation. I have dual citizenship but two different first names on Italian and USA passport . Ex: Emma rose vs emmarose. Any suggestions? I am leaving USA and have booked ticket on first name shown on USA passport.. I would check in with that as well as show it in line to get to security. But then thought when I land I'll just go thru e.u line with Italian passport. Do you think that would work? It sounds like that's what you are doing and have no problems.
Alex David hi...what I found out is that you can do two things. You can apply for a legal name change in america so you're birth certificate will essentially legally match that italy has, then wait 8 million years for an appointment at the italian consulate to re do your italian passport to have it match what's already on your American one and now on your corrected birth certificate. Or you can leave you're birth certificate as is and change all your American documents. Italy doesn't really care if the names match perfectly or not as they recognize that there can be variations of names... this is per the consulate in San Francisco. However if travelling to another country in the schengen zone or the u.k it can cause many problems as you are not in your native or secondary country. You can be questioned or denied boarding/entry and in worst care scenario be sent immediately home on a plane if they don't understand. I don't feel it's worth the hassle or risk so I'm changing all my American documents to match my birth cert and italian passport.🙄
Thank you for helpful video. I am applying for citizenship with link to my grandfather who was born in Italy. My 1st cousin (who was able to get Italian citizenship last year) emailed me the documents she received from the USCIS process as well as other documents. Can I use these copies to get translated or do I have to get my own? He was born in 1894. She received an A-File number not a C. Molte Grazie
Hi, I’m from Portugal but I am an American citizen and I have my American citizen passport, how do I get my Portuguese passport back also ? Please help thank you
What if you go to a country different from EU and your original citizenship? Lets say that you are going to Australia or China, how do you decide which passport to use? Probably by visa requirements, but if the country you are going the visa req are the same for both passports, how do you decide which one to use?
if the requirements are the same just leave your main country with your main passport and enter the “third” country with the main passport as well. this is because you leave your country as a citizen and get back with the stamp of the country you’ve been to. hope you still find it useful
About booking an airline, I still need you shed a light on it. I am facing the following struggle in my up coming trip: I have dual passports, just for the sake of story telling, suppose I have Indian passport and a Caribbean passport. To Europe, I can use my Caribbean passport which doesn't need to obtain a visa to enter U. K and E.U, but the Indian one does. So, I am now staying in U.S/Canada on visa status with Indian passport, not on my Caribbean passport, therefore, when I enter U.S/Canada, I have to use my Indian passport. the difficulties come as the follow, If I want to have a round trip ticket to U.K/ E.U and return to U.S/Canada, can I book it on my Caribbean passport? If I book it on my Indian passport, the airline would submit my arrival information to U.K/E.U based on Indian passport, which however, require a visa to enter this area, and there is such visa on Indian passport. If I book it on my Caribbean passport, the airline would submit my arrival information to U.S/Canada based on my Caribbean passport, which however, my U.S/Canadian visa status are not on Caribbean passport. As what I am aware of, if the passport I present to the inspection is different from the passport information of my arrival information, I would face accusation of f smuggling into the country. What is your advice on this?
Hi Sundar, I’m so sorry but I really don’t feel as though I’m qualified to give any real indication in regards to your situation. It might be best to consult with an immigration lawyer who is maybe more familiar with the nationalities that you are dealing in you particular situation. There seem to be quite a few particular points specific to your situation. Good luck and if you get any answers please be sure to share them with me and maybe I’ll be able to help somebody else in the future :)
Hi Anthony, You’ll more than likely need to purchase a round trip ticket... surprisingly they can actually be less expensive than buying a one way ticket anyway.
Ooooooopppppssss... I may have already purchased a one-way ticket to Italy... I got a great deal at student universe. And yeah, that kinda surprised me that RT tickets are sometimes cheaper than one-way tickets. Well, I suppose getting a RT ticket back to the US is a good excuse to go to the Geological Society of America meeting in September 🤔
I'm a British and French citizen in the process of getting a French passport (ma mère est française) in light of a controversial political event in the UK that I'm not a fan of that I do not dare name... (clue: it begins with a B!) While dual citizenship is a blessing that opens doors, lets you vote in both countries and also just saves time and bother (and in my case gives me the right to live and work without any bother in the EU, EEA and Switzerland fuss free that I lost due to said political event). However we dual passport holders and those to be need to think about things people with just one passport never would. This is further complicated by the fact that some countries like the US and UK do not have formal passport checks when you leave. In the UK we have the Advanced Passenger Information system (API) where the airline sends information about each passenger to the Home Office based on the details you give the airline when you check in, which means that I want to check in for any flight going out of the UK with my British passport so that it's always clear that I am a British citizen leaving the UK and booking with my French passport could mean that they wonder why I'm in the UK.
Do you mean if you leave USA to UK you must give check in information on American pass even If you have British pass and citizenship. Because USA rekognize you as American citizen.?
Hey I m little confused if u have to travel some another country like Japan Korea or India instead of USA or Itali which u have passport... Which passport are u going to use .. Will u face any problem in immigration for Ur dual citizenship... Plzzzzzzz plzzzzzzz rly...
depends on the country you're going to and the citizenship(s) that you have and who they let in and if they need a visa.. but if you're entering a country you don't hold citizenship to, use only one passport

Hi Fred, Thanks for letting me know, I’ve just checked them out on my end, and everything was working. Were you getting an error code that the page wasn’t loading or was it something else? I want to try to make sure there aren’t any issues for others
Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know, would you mind sending me a screenshot on twitter? @RafaelDiFuria does it also happen in a private window?
My Italian passport name does not match my airline ticket, because the ticket has my married name. Every time I use my Italian passport, I have to go the an agent to verify who I am.
The name on the ticket always needs to match the name on your identification otherwise as you’ve seen it can complicate matters, and I’ve heard of cases where they don’t even let the person fly. Or if you’re only coming here for a quick vacation, even though you’re not supposed to, you could technically travel on a different passport that does have that name on it... However if using your married name is important to you I think it might be worth changing over all of your documents to that name... otherwise always always always use the name on your passport
i had this issue, i had booked using my married name but of course my italian passport is in my maiden name. however when i got my passport, in philadelphia, i also got a stamp that states i am married to someone with my married name, and the ticket agent had no problem when i showed it to her.
Sorry if this is late, but yes. Your Italian ID card is enough for all travel within the EU, not only Italy, but I'm not sure if you can do it if you're arriving from outside the EU. For travel within EU countries you don't need the passport, just the ID, but other than that I'm not too sure.
I was born in the USA but also recently obtained Italian citizenship by descent. I also have Austria citizenship pending / processing now and expect to have that passport in the coming months after I am confirmed. I feel like Jason Bourne with a drawer full of passports!
I am not eligible for Italian Jure Sanguinis, but my daughter and her family are getting theirs. I'm elderly, traveling with them. How do I avoid being in a separate US line fending for myself while they waltz through the EU line?
Hi Nancy, Technically as a non-EU citizen you’ll have to go through the non-EU line. There’s not really an advisable way to avoid it... however if you are traveling as a group there could be interest to process you all together... however as I’m not a lawyer or legal advisor I’m unable to give any actual advice other than you should follow the signs. The only way for sure to avoid it is to become an EU resident or citizen... if your family decides to move here there may be some sort of family reunification visa... however this is something I’m completely unfamiliar with and would say you would need to be advised by an Italian legal specialist or lawyer... if you’re seeking those services feel free to send me an email to info@rafaeldifuria.com and I can pass along some info if you’re interested in persuing residency or citizenship
Although if you’re an elderly person who requires assistance you may want to speak with a security agent upon arrival to see if there’s any way they can help
@@RafaelDiFuria Thanks. I thought there would not be an easy answer, and you confirmed that. I'll try to sort out which agency (airline, Italy's version of TSA, etc.) to hit up with the problem. Fortunately helping disabled people is really popular. Maybe a wheelchair would help, we'll see!
One time I was in the EU-Citizen Passport control line (Always the shortest line) and I saw a group of Americans right next to me waiting for their turn. I kindly told them that this was the EU citizen only line and that they had to go the the other/foreigner line. I have never been more proud to be an EU citizen than at that moment :D
Hahaha did you happen to read the title before you watched the video? Even I can’t say that this is the most exciting subject.... not exactly action packed 😂
Hey everybody, thanks for watching this video ^_^
I just wanted to add one point of clarification after receiving some messages on Facebook.
I made a slight mistake in the exit procedure leaving from the US. Because it's been so long since originally left The USA I mixed up the procedure with the one that I've seen in almost all of the countries that I've traveled to with what happens in the US. At this point in time the USA does not stamp passports upon exit from the country and the exit immigration procedure seems to be taken care of by the commercial travel operator you choose to travel with, automatically submitting any information. However after doing a little a little digging, it seems as though the US is considering reinstating the older procedure of stamping which would most likely work in the same way that I mentioned in this video. Sorry for any confusion! Happy travels!!!
Regardless of the destination you leave from, if local officials speak to you asking for documents and you have documents from that country, show them your local documents.. however again I'm not a lawyer or legal advisor. This is just what I would say might be a good idea to do based on my own personal experience.
Note that although there is no physical exit passport control when leaving the US, there are electronic exit checks. The details that you provide at check-in are sent to CBP and stored by them. This is also the case in the UK.
was the name of the song playing in the background could you provide link to the song that is playing at the 33:3 thank you
Simple. When entering or leaving a country where you are a citizen use that country's passport. Every country expects its citizens to present as citizens regardless of what other citizenships you might have.
When entering or leaving any other country use whichever passport gives you the most benefits (visa cost/free, length of stay, etc). If you enter a third country use the same passport to exit.
I'm an Argentinian who's getting the Italian citizenship through Jure Sanguinis (il mio nonno era di Sicilia) and this was really helpful. Thank you very much.
Glad you found this helpful! Good luck on your process ^_^
Best wishes to you!
It’s always great to hear when people finish their process so be sure to keep me updated!
@@RafaelDiFuria Grazie! Of course I will!! Thanks.
Very helpful. My two daughters and my husband both have Canadian and Italian passports. Older daughter lives in Switzerland and now my younger daughter is going to the Netherlands, so this is great.
When I leave the US via San Francisco International Airport, there is no passport control. So what I do when I fly to the UK is I tell the ticketing desk I'll be leaving on my US passport and entering the UK on my UK passport. Then I show the security agents my US passport.
Buying your ticket is separate from passport control. On your flight from the US to the UK, show whichever passport you booked the flight under to the airline and at the gate as you board the plane and show your British passport when you go through passport control when you land in the UK. You don't need to tell the airline that you're leaving the US with your American passport but entering the UK with your British one

So if you use a U.S . Passport to leave the U.S. and use an EU passport upon arrival, in let’s say Spain. Once you return to the U.S., your U.S. passport won’t have an entry stamp from Spanish immigration showing you entered Spain. Won’t U.S . Customs give you a hard time since there is no entry stamp on your American passport showing you ever visited Spain?
They really don’t care about what you did in the other country
True
An important addition here. It's not that you enter the EU once and then there's no border control. That's not true.
Schengen area is a group of countries that have abolished their border checks and act as one, that is no border control between these countries. It does indeed include mst EU countries, plus some NON-EU countries, that is Norway, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Iceland. It does not include, however, countries like Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus, the UK and Ireland (the two latter having formed their own common travel area, or let's say a "Schengen minore")
This means that indeed since you entered via Greece, there is no need for border controls to go to Italy, but that wouldn't be the same if you entered via the UK or Bulgaria, for instance. Let's say there are 4 levels, in terms of ease of entering a Schengen country:
1. Schengen Area Country (EU/EEA)
2. Non-Schengen EU country (all EEA countries are in the Schengen area)
3. Visa free third countries
4. Third countries with visa required.
So to conclude, border check free travel between EU countries is only a thing within Schengen area. Hence you see in the airports the "Schengen area travelling" and "Non-Schengen area travelling" distinction.
I travel the world on My Irish Passport and Use My Australian Passport solely to enter Australia.
In Australia they examine My Passport, ask Me a few Questions (sometimes even a lot of Questions) and then let Me In.
In Ireland, they simply Wave Me Through the moment they see the Cover of My Passport and announce “Welcome Home”.
Do they ask any questions when you leave here on a foreign passport?
Hello Rafael, love your videos. I’m a dual national, USA and Italian and have 2 passports. Unfortunately my Italian passport is with the name Vincenzo and my USA under the name Vincent. Was hoping you could advise on how/when to use the passports.
Excellent information. Watch this several time to be sure you get every word.
Glad you’re finding this helpful! Comments like yours are what keeps me going at this! ^_^
you are wrong, buddy. when you are leaving the usa or canada, there are no immigration check points. it means usa and canada really like to see anyone to get the hell out of their places, if you have a valid passport. and if TSA don't know your destination is a foreign place, your driver license is just ok. so the only person who cares if you can enter your destination is the airline check in desk employee.
You are correct that I made a mistake in the video however the US does have an exit check in place, but from what I’ve heard it’s not a good thing if you’re required to go through it. And yes you are correct that the ticket agent is the only one who (usually) is interested but from what I’ve been told after recording this is that they report to the US border control.
Also I have been to Canada by car and they at that point for sure did an exit check.
When I travel in North America, I use my canadian passport. Everywhere else, I use the European one.
One time, after a very, very long trip from Mauritius to Montreal, I showed the european passeport, the officer took both... but let me go (I was just coming back home).
I like your channel. I'm watching all the videos from the beginning. :)
Buona serra !
Hi Rafael... Love your videos... I'm from Brazil, and taking the italian citizenship by the maternal way... For me your videos are really awesome, help to clear the thinking of some people who might think that just have a european passport, and as consequence the life will be easier, as magic... In Brazil in the middle of a crisis, people think have a doble citizenship is the salvation. In my opinion in a certain way it could be, but just have a european passport isn't enough... You approach all these in a very soft way... Congrats ...
Oi Philipe
Muito obrigado para sua kind words!
They are very much appreciated ^_^
I hope these videos have been helpful to you and I wish you lots of luck!
But you’re absolutely right Italian citizenship is much more than just an EU passport, it could be a form of salvation for some that might be from an area in a difficult situation however the privilege to be able to call Italy home and to be a citizen of such a country is an honor and something I feel very blessed to have in my life.
I wish you all the best of luck and please keep me updated ^_^
Com os melhores cumprimentos:)

having 2 passports is wonderful as you can purchase one way tickets and stay as long as you want, arriving in the US the lines are shorter for US citizens, in the philippines the foreigner line is always faster, going to the US embassy in manila i feel like having a fast track with disneyland as the wait time is much shorter.
It's an absolute blessing to have two.
You might be surprised though, sometimes it's less expensive to buy a round trip ticket than a one way. but it all depends on the carrier and destination.
I always thought it was when you're leaving the US, use the US passport, and the Italian passport when you arrive in Italy and vice versa... holy jeez there are a lot of different rules. I'd be afraid I'd get interrogated if I messed up and start crying (I'm extremely sensitive)
I love these videos... very informative. :)
Once you do it once you remember, haha I made a little mistake in the order when coming to Italy... haha will never make that mistake again, didn’t get in any trouble, but it was a bit annoying haha
I'm glad to see you're sticking with the video series. :-) It's a great source of info for those of us who felt the need to escape from the "group." :-P
Hey there Stranger ;)
Thank you ^_^
This is a subject I'm passionate about and I really want to help other's as much as I can.
I'm almost afraid of which group you may be referring to haha
Anyway thanks for coming back to check out another video ^_^
Once again getting ready to go hometo visit I have the unsettling feeling about using 2 passports. I was born in NZ immigrated to US and been a citzen for years . I renewd my NZ passport around 2010 . Every time I go home I chicken out and just use the US . I always buy a round trip ticket and leave from LA.and always give US passport . One time they told me at airport I could use NZ but I didn't... This is what bothers me. if i give them the NZ one at checkin at LAX when I go through the lines at security I have to have passport and ticket . My ticket would have the NZ passport number on it so wouldnt that cause a problem showing the US passport and my ticket having NZ passport info.when they scan it there ..also at the gate the same thing ..
Ive watched this video but this still is scary that I will screw up and not get back in here since Ive lived here for eons ..Id like to have the confidence one time to use it and did only going from NZ to Australia for a week . Thank you
I'm Ecuadorian and American when I enter my country I only use my American passport and I stay as long as I want plus my Ecuadorian passport is already expired.
That's great you're able to travel so freely.
Each country has it's own rules and ways that they enforce them, seems like you've been quite fortunate :)
Carlos Uquillas My second country REQUIRES you to enter on THEIR passport or else. They have very clear lines between citizens and non-citizens, if I even use the non-citizen line I'd be put in a back room and interrogated for hours on end. I can't imagine what would happen if I tried to enter on my American passport.
One exception is Ireland and U.K. it’s fine to use Irish passport as you will be treated as being on equal footing as U.K. passport so you can just use the Irish one
When you book a round trip ticket, you only have to put your passport info in once. So if I am traveling from USA to Germany - and I have a German and USA passport - I would think I should put in my German passport info? But now this German info is in the roundtrip flight. So when I fly back to the USA, the airline would have my German passport info for the ticket. Which seems opposite of what I should have. Is this right?
What if you have different legal names on the two passports? Should I do the same process or need to do something else? And what if my home country is not in Europe? Pls advise
*I have British and American dual passport I show both passport at the airport*
Also, how do you know when you're dealing with American passport control or the airline? They often just ask to see your passport without telling you who they represent once you clear the TSA line.
you just ask them “what’s the country checking?” or smth like that to know which country they work for
Thank you… I never knew which one to use!
Cheers from Argentina
Does it not matter if you get stamped out in one passport and stamped back in on the other passport?
from my understanding... it's better if you get the stamp. If you're going back and forth between countries and don't have an exit stamp then it can appear as though you've been there since that date even if you've left.
Surely if you flew from Italy to the US via Amsterdam, you'd have no passport check in Italy and instead go through the passport checkpoint in the Netherlands anyway?
7:31; Not quite. Schengen zone countries’ airports are without passport checks within two Schengen countries.
If you travel out of Romania, Cyprus, Bulgaria or Croatia in other country in EU but it is in Schengen you have passport check. And then if it’s connection flight between let’s say Germany and Spain (both in EU and Schengen) there isn’t another passport check.
I need some clarification. If I have dual Passports from the US and Italy and I book a trip from the US to Italy using my Italian passport number so I can enter Italy on my Italian passport. Then when I go home I need to use my Italian passport to exit Italy, but then use my US passport when I arrive in the US. The question is about having an ESTA authorization to board my flight back to the US. ESTA is electronic and needs to be obtained before my travel back to the US. How does that work? If I get ESTA is it going to draw a red flag when I show up in the US with a US passport instead of my Italian passport?
Actually, passports are not checked only within the Schengen area and not every EU countries are part of Schengen.
Yeaaa that's what i thought.. but there's no passport control leaving Canada.. is it? Im i losing my mind? I don't remember (prior to covid) there being any customs ppl.
Hmmm I might have to watch that a few times. I’m a EU passport holder from UK living in US 40 years as resident planning to get citizenship in next few months along with US passport. Planning a September 2019 Italy trip and trying to figure out passport logistics
If you're here for less than 90 days use whichever passport will be easier to use. Depending on Brexit both passports may end up giving you the same experience at passport control. But if no visa waiver is needed on one but needed on the other, go with the one that doesn't need the visa waiver.
Have fun on your trip ^_^
For security reasons scan the id pages of both passports and any other id. then use a camera card (sandisk) to put this info on. then if your wallet and or passports get stolen, then you have a way of identifying yourself. Or get someone in your family or a lawyer to keep your copies for you. so if your id gets stolen, the local police can call your family member or lawyer and have the scanned documents sent over. then after dealing with the police you can deal with te appropriate embassy or consulate to get a temporary passport issued in order to leave whatever country you are in. when getting your id scanned, get it done by a lawyer or notary public and the scanned documents attested to in order to make sure that they are legitimate copies of your documents. that way you can not be accused of having forged documents.
Italians use the waiver.
Non un avvocato, un capitano di mare.
haha you had me laughing out loud with that one
Most airline systems allow you to change your api (advanced passenger information) between your out leg and return leg. Though they can get confused. If so it tends to be worth it and removes some red tape. Especially if you are dealing with the US.
What passport should you use to purchase an airline ticket if you have Global Entry and a KTN and are leaving the US for Italy and plan on returning to the US after staying in Italy for 4-5 months? Since Global Entry is a US security program I assume you use your US passport to purchase the airline ticket?
I’m still confuse about booking the tickets because my both passports has a different names.
This has likely already been pointed out but regarding your point of not requiring the showing of passport/ID when moving across borders in the EU, this is very wrong. I can only assume you are referring to the Schengen Area when you mention this, as borders under this agreement are effectivly invisible meaning there are little or no border stops, however you are still required to have passports and ID, and must register at a local police station after a week of staying in a country.
The Schengen Area (SA) consists of 26 countries, 22 of which are EU states. The remaining four are the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) member states: Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Switzerland; although Monaco, San Marino, and Vatican City are effectively de facto members of the SA. There are 28 EU states, the remaining 6 are Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, and Romania which are legally obliged to join but haven't yet, while the other two are Ireland and the United Kingdom which have opted out because they have their own effective agreement in place called the Common Travel Area.
The Common Travel Area (CTA) is an agreement between the governments of the Irish Republic, the United Kingdom, and the Crown Dependencies of the latter (Isle of Man and the Channel Islands), which much alike the SA allows for the free movement of people and goods with little border control along with minimal requirement for ID (a birth certificate works), which pre-dates the SA by many decades. Moving from the SA to the CTA, and vice versa, requires a passport, much the same as moving to anywhere else in Europe outside of those areas.
I would massively suggest doing in depth research if you are planning on visiting Europe and moving across borders as some borders are very much open (or appear so) but crossing them would in fact be illegal. Take the Hungarian border. In 2015, the Hungarian government decided to erect a fence along the 109 mile Serbia border, later adding fences along the 216 mile border with Croatia, all to prevent the thousands of migrant workers from crossing into their territory. Other than signs here and there, in many places you would have no idea you would have crossed the border despite Hungary being an EU state and Serbia not being one. If you attempt to leave Serbia without an entry-stamp you can face heavy fines or even imprisonment!
I could not understand. I want to ask you. I have two passports, a French and an American passport. When I want to travel to France, and I am in America, I use the American passport when leaving, and when I arrive in France, I show them my French passport, like this or not. Please reply
Hi, i just recently became Italian citizen. I entered the country with my other passport, also the ticket was bought with that one. When I return to my country, what you are saying is that I have to show the passport of my country at the desk of the airline and then through immigration with the Italian correct? And by the way, I have a connecting flight in the US and my passport will be close to expiration (less than six months). Thanks
I have an Irish passport through my dad's birth there but my grandmother was also born in Italy and grandfather born in the USA shortly after his parents arrived from Italy.

How long does it take to get an Italian citizenship and passport through a grandfather?
It really depends case to case... some people in Italy have done it in a matter of weeks some months some years. But usually outside of Italy it can be between a a year and a half and 5 years depending on the consulate, but currently for the LA consulate the wait I last heard was about 7 or 8 years just for the initial appointment. But if you’re looking for someone to help you through everything I’m more than happy to make a recommendation via email.
My email address is Info@RafaelDiFuria.com
@@RafaelDiFuria I'm willing to travel to Italy if I can get it down faster. I've been there a few times. I currently do also have an EU passport through my fathers birth in Ireland but would also like an Italian passport through my grandfather. I will email you.
One little problem in your explanation. Obviously , as an Italian citizen when leaving Italy to return to the USA you show your Italian passport to Italian passport control officials. However, if you show your Italian passport to the ticket agent he/she must confirm you have a Visa waiver. The Visa waiver is required for Italian citizens to enter the United States. If you don't have the Visa waiver, you can not board the plane. As a citizen of the USA no visa is required. The problem is solved thusly: purchase your round trip ticket with the American passport and show your USA passport both to US officials, and airport agents in the USA and Italy. . Enter Italy and leave Italy showing an Italian passport to Italian officials . I have been doing this for many years with no problems.
Giovanni Serafino .. so I'm in a somewhat odd situation. I have dual citizenship but two different first names on Italian and USA passport . Ex: Emma rose vs emmarose. Any suggestions? I am leaving USA and have booked ticket on first name shown on USA passport.. I would check in with that as well as show it in line to get to security. But then thought when I land I'll just go thru e.u line with Italian passport. Do you think that would work? It sounds like that's what you are doing and have no problems.
Alex David hi...what I found out is that you can do two things. You can apply for a legal name change in america so you're birth certificate will essentially legally match that italy has, then wait 8 million years for an appointment at the italian consulate to re do your italian passport to have it match what's already on your American one and now on your corrected birth certificate. Or you can leave you're birth certificate as is and change all your American documents. Italy doesn't really care if the names match perfectly or not as they recognize that there can be variations of names... this is per the consulate in San Francisco. However if travelling to another country in the schengen zone or the u.k it can cause many problems as you are not in your native or secondary country. You can be questioned or denied boarding/entry and in worst care scenario be sent immediately home on a plane if they don't understand. I don't feel it's worth the hassle or risk so I'm changing all my American documents to match my birth cert and italian passport.🙄
Have you traveled to European country which is outside Shengen with your Italian passport ?
Many Italian Brazilians have both passports as well.
Eu também sou um deles ;)
Is all of this information still valid for those with dual US-Italian citizenship who are moving to Italy?
Thank you for helpful video. I am applying for citizenship with link to my grandfather who was born in Italy. My 1st cousin (who was able to get Italian citizenship last year) emailed me the documents she received from the USCIS process as well as other documents. Can I use these copies to get translated or do I have to get my own? He was born in 1894. She received an A-File number not a C. Molte Grazie
Hi, I’m from Portugal but I am an American citizen and I have my American citizen passport, how do I get my Portuguese passport back also ? Please help thank you

What if you go to a country different from EU and your original citizenship? Lets say that you are going to Australia or China, how do you decide which passport to use? Probably by visa requirements, but if the country you are going the visa req are the same for both passports, how do you decide which one to use?
if the requirements are the same just leave your main country with your main passport and enter the “third” country with the main passport as well.
this is because you leave your country as a citizen and get back with the stamp of the country you’ve been to.
hope you still find it useful
About booking an airline, I still need you shed a light on it.
I am facing the following struggle in my up coming trip:
I have dual passports, just for the sake of story telling, suppose I have Indian passport and a Caribbean passport. To Europe, I can use my Caribbean passport which doesn't need to obtain a visa to enter U. K and E.U, but the Indian one does. So, I am now staying in U.S/Canada on visa status with Indian passport, not on my Caribbean passport, therefore, when I enter U.S/Canada, I have to use my Indian passport.
the difficulties come as the follow,
If I want to have a round trip ticket to U.K/ E.U and return to U.S/Canada, can I book it on my Caribbean passport?
If I book it on my Indian passport, the airline would submit my arrival information to U.K/E.U based on Indian passport, which however, require a visa to enter this area, and there is such visa on Indian passport.
If I book it on my Caribbean passport, the airline would submit my arrival information to U.S/Canada based on my Caribbean passport, which however, my U.S/Canadian visa status are not on Caribbean passport.
As what I am aware of, if the passport I present to the inspection is different from the passport information of my arrival information, I would face accusation of f smuggling into the country.
What is your advice on this?
Hi Sundar,
I’m so sorry but I really don’t feel as though I’m qualified to give any real indication in regards to your situation.
It might be best to consult with an immigration lawyer who is maybe more familiar with the nationalities that you are dealing in you particular situation. There seem to be quite a few particular points specific to your situation.
Good luck and if you get any answers please be sure to share them with me and maybe I’ll be able to help somebody else in the future :)

Waaaiiiit... how does flying one way work when applying for JS citizenship?
Hi Anthony,
You’ll more than likely need to purchase a round trip ticket... surprisingly they can actually be less expensive than buying a one way ticket anyway.
Ooooooopppppssss... I may have already purchased a one-way ticket to Italy... I got a great deal at student universe. And yeah, that kinda surprised me that RT tickets are sometimes cheaper than one-way tickets. Well, I suppose getting a RT ticket back to the US is a good excuse to go to the Geological Society of America meeting in September 🤔
I'm a British and French citizen in the process of getting a French passport (ma mère est française) in light of a controversial political event in the UK that I'm not a fan of that I do not dare name... (clue: it begins with a B!) While dual citizenship is a blessing that opens doors, lets you vote in both countries and also just saves time and bother (and in my case gives me the right to live and work without any bother in the EU, EEA and Switzerland fuss free that I lost due to said political event). However we dual passport holders and those to be need to think about things people with just one passport never would. This is further complicated by the fact that some countries like the US and UK do not have formal passport checks when you leave. In the UK we have the Advanced Passenger Information system (API) where the airline sends information about each passenger to the Home Office based on the details you give the airline when you check in, which means that I want to check in for any flight going out of the UK with my British passport so that it's always clear that I am a British citizen leaving the UK and booking with my French passport could mean that they wonder why I'm in the UK.
Do you mean if you leave USA to UK you must give check in information on American pass even If you have British pass and citizenship. Because USA rekognize you as American citizen.?

My Italian passport name does not match my airline ticket, because the ticket has my married name. Every time I use my Italian passport, I have to go the an agent to verify who I am.
The name on the ticket always needs to match the name on your identification otherwise as you’ve seen it can complicate matters, and I’ve heard of cases where they don’t even let the person fly. Or if you’re only coming here for a quick vacation, even though you’re not supposed to, you could technically travel on a different passport that does have that name on it... However if using your married name is important to you I think it might be worth changing over all of your documents to that name... otherwise always always always use the name on your passport
i had this issue, i had booked using my married name but of course my italian passport is in my maiden name. however when i got my passport, in philadelphia, i also got a stamp that states i am married to someone with my married name, and the ticket agent had no problem when i showed it to her.
Could you please talk about italian pet' s passport?
If you arrive at the airport in Italy can you use your Italian ID card?
Sorry if this is late, but yes. Your Italian ID card is enough for all travel within the EU, not only Italy, but I'm not sure if you can do it if you're arriving from outside the EU. For travel within EU countries you don't need the passport, just the ID, but other than that I'm not too sure.

I am not eligible for Italian Jure Sanguinis, but my daughter and her family are getting theirs. I'm elderly, traveling with them. How do I avoid being in a separate US line fending for myself while they waltz through the EU line?
Hi Nancy,
Technically as a non-EU citizen you’ll have to go through the non-EU line. There’s not really an advisable way to avoid it... however if you are traveling as a group there could be interest to process you all together... however as I’m not a lawyer or legal advisor I’m unable to give any actual advice other than you should follow the signs.
The only way for sure to avoid it is to become an EU resident or citizen... if your family decides to move here there may be some sort of family reunification visa... however this is something I’m completely unfamiliar with and would say you would need to be advised by an Italian legal specialist or lawyer... if you’re seeking those services feel free to send me an email to info@rafaeldifuria.com and I can pass along some info if you’re interested in persuing residency or citizenship
Although if you’re an elderly person who requires assistance you may want to speak with a security agent upon arrival to see if there’s any way they can help
@@RafaelDiFuria Thanks. I thought there would not be an easy answer, and you confirmed that. I'll try to sort out which agency (airline, Italy's version of TSA, etc.) to hit up with the problem. Fortunately helping disabled people is really popular. Maybe a wheelchair would help, we'll see!

One time I was in the EU-Citizen Passport control line (Always the shortest line) and I saw a group of Americans right next to me waiting for their turn.
