My young child has Canadian and South Korean passports, but in two different names. We live in Canada.
To enter SK on the SK passport and return to C on the C passport without facing problems, can there be any risks with the following plan? (The previous answers on I have two passports/nationalities. How do I use them when I travel? are helpful but do not answer this.)
- Purchase a round-trip ticket in the SK name.
- Travel from C to SK should be no problem. There are no exit passport checks in C.
- On return from SK, do not get eTA (which may be impossible anyway). Show the airline both passports (and name change document, if necessary) if they question why my child can legally enter Canada. On SK exit passport checks, show only the SK passport.
- On immigration in C show the C passport (and if necessary the other passport and name change document; C does not have an issue with dual citizenship).
Added: if the airline is SK based, are they obliged to pass on dual citizenship information to SK? OK, I read that airlines have to update PNR with citizenship information, which can in principle be accessed by SK. Is this likely to lead to problems on the return trip or for future visits?
I'm partly concerned because SK does not usually allow dual citizenship (if person does not have other citizenship by birth)...
