If you’re here because you have (or will have!) 2 passports and want to know what to expect when traveling, I hope this video is helpful. If this doesn’t apply to you but you’re here anyway because you support this channel, you’re my favorite kind of people! 💖 thanks for watching!

So glad I found your channel. Being Mexican American myself with dual citizenship, immediately felt relatable. Subscribed!

Literally, THE BEST explanation for how to travel with two passports. Gracias!

[YamaguchiTada]

Just for some info: you dont have to put the Mexican passport on the airline website to pass through Mexican lane on the airport, Just have your Mexican passport ready to be presented to the inmigration officer

Great advice - I had forgot about the entry fees into other countries, $100 to visit Brazil 🇧🇷 = yikes 😱. I once had an officer stop me in Costa Rica and as he looked at my passport, he asked where’s the rest of my name ? I told him I only have 2 names, first and last name, he said everybody has 4 names here, I told him in the U.S. most people have only 2 names - luckily another tourist overheard our conversation and showed the officer her passport ( which only had 2 names ) after that he let me go about my business 😃

Good to know. I’m traveling on 2 passports but I’m US-Japan, also with 2 different last names. This gets even more complicated with the COVID rules. Thank you for the video.

This would feel so nuts to have to deal with an extra challenge, particularly in this crazy time going in between the countries. But this is going to help people. Awesome.

Thank you for the information I’m now a Mexican National and the advice you provided will help me tremendously.

[lucio.martinez]

Oh, that foreigner form, now makes sense.
My brother, who's not a Mexican National told me about it. He lost his the first he went, since he didn't think he would need it. He missed a flight and couldn't leave until the following day.
I didn't know what he was talking about, since I never get one.
It's because I'm also a Mexican Citizen.

Regarding married names, we USED to do it, but not in the same way as the US. In the US the woman drops her surname and takes her husband's surname. In Mexico, the woman would drop her maternal surname, keep her paternal surname, and add "De (husband's surname)."

As you can see, slightly more complicated. Thankfully we've progressed and have stopped expecting that women change their names. It's still optional, but who wants to deal with that process?

Thanks for making this video! I always get confused on what passport to use and in what order when going to Mexico

[michaelperez]

So my mother has dual citizenship. We booked her flight with her name as written in the Mexican passport. When she arrived to the PV airport to return to the US, they asked for her US travel document (i.e. visa, green card). As she gave the airline her US passport, they saw the last names didn't match and they made this whole drama and did not want to let my mother catch her flight because of it. We had to fight with the airline to let her get her flight. Perhaps because they wanted to make sure that she had the proper documents to enter in the US. Otherwise, the airline can get sued by the US government for letting passengers travel with inadequate documents. I knew for certain that she was not gonna have an issue at US customs so long as she has a US passport, but she was so scared that they wouldn't let her in because of the name mismatch given how the airline intimidated her about it.

Thanks for the video, I've traveled multiple times to Mexico since attaining dual citizenship and I've never used my Mexican passport to get in Mexico. I think I will try it next week
