Holding two passports from two different countries is generally legal and trouble free. BUTSome critical things to know about:

Depending on what two countries you hold passports in:

  • Some places may be restrictive towards one but not the other
  • Some countries will arrest people with citizenship in certain countries. (Middle East and Israel are good examples) So travel with only your "SAFE" passport on your person in these situations.

Crossing boarders:

  • Many countries conduct exit visa checks and you must use the entry passport to exit.
  • Many countries share passport info and control duties on a common boarder. Common in some places in Europe. You can not change passports to exit one country and enter the next at these crossings.
  • You may carry both passports but ONLY PRESENT ONE at any entry.
  • Do not ever claim Dual Citizenship when entering one of your home counties. The USA is especially confused by this and will delay your travel to figure it out. ( Trust me they are not as Gentle as your doctor when wearing rubber gloves. Yes personal experience)

Finally as long as you understand what countries your passports are welcome in, there will be no trouble, so don't sweat it.
