How can an American/Thai citizen return to the USA using both American and Thai passports?

We do know that he got a new thai passport here in thailand (if his profile is to be believed). When comin' to thailand on ANY countries passport you only need to have as much time remaining on it as you're getting stamped in for.

The 6 months remaining on a passport rule is for buying a visa to thailand from a thai consulate not coming in on a visa exempt entry or with a valid visa already in your passport.

Also a thai national can come into thailand on an expired passport. My friend from the US who holds a US and Thai passport) just came back here on a thai passport that was 6 years expired :O He got in just fine and will get a new passport here.

Until the O/P weighs back in with some facts, we're just speculating and

@Johnny *****

his life would be much easier to get it done here in Thailand

@Tod ********

yep yep yep

@Ku**

, good point (y) You're right i don't totally understand the situation and it's the reason I asked what passport they entered thailand on and what visa or extension they have now.

Until we get more info, we're just taking shots in the dark about what they should do.

its mostly gibberish but he states he has both but also stated that he just renewed the Thai one so i'm thinking maybe the US one is expired as well

he states he has an american passport

@Tod ********

i was just curious

@Alan ******

, whether they have a birth certificate is meaningless as long as they have BOTH passports

It's probably technically a “Consular Report of Birth Abroad” (FS-240) from the consulate or a “Certificate of Report of Birth” (DS-1350) from the Department of State if he was born in Thailand, it is a different document technically but for all intensive porpoises works like a US birth certificate.

You can travel with many passports if they are valid and have at least 6 months on them. America does not recognize dual citizenship so always best to show only your American passport to them. You would require a visa for the Thai passport if you used it. So out with the Thai passport and into USA with the American. Simple and reverse coming back. The Thai passport is good in Asean countries because you don't have to pay for a visa to enter them. Hope that helps.

You, can.travel both paspor to amerika thailend it ok. No. Ploblem.
