Hi Richard,

You’ll be fine entering and leaving the US with your permanent resident card and Jamaican passport, but do check with the Mexican embassy to see whether or not you need to apply for an entry visa ahead of time. Good luck!

Hi Alexander, Per the Department of State, US citizens with dual citizenship must enter and leave the US using their US passport. Hope this helps!

Hello. I am a US citizen and a French citizen. I can’t get a US passport because of child support arrears. I do have a valid French passport. I suppose I can get out of the US using the French passport and I suppose that I will be let on the plane on my return using the French passport as well… the question is: Can I re-enter the US using that passport and my certificate of naturalization once back home?

Hi Wendy, No, you won’t need a passport for that. Just your driver’s license or state ID is all you need. Enjoy your trip!

Hi Sandra,

That is probably fine, but please double-check with your cruise line as they have the final authority over whether she boards or not. Have a great cruise!

Hi Luis,

If you’re a US citizen they have to let you cross back in. But it may take longer than usual as they may hold you for a little while to verify your citizenship. Just be patient and allow extra time in case it takes longer to get through.
