Dual Nationality

Forgive me if this was asked before, but did a quick search and can't find anything.

Is having dual nationality (and hence 2 passports) a good/bad/indifferent thing for travelling? Would you if you could, or does it just make things more complex?

Cheers,

Neil

Good for
visas -

Some nationalities don't need them where others do, and some times the costs are different too.

You can apply for two at once - one passport at one consulate while the other is at a different consulate...



Bad for ?
Cost ..
Something else to loose/report.

Thumbs up

The other advantage: if you get into any sort of trouble you have more people to turn to.

I had a good few occasions to switch passports on my travels - take as many passports as yo can.

Scroll to the bottom of this page as it is displayed and you will find other threads that are about the same subject - it has come up quite regularly in recent past: maybe more people are becoming aware of the issue?

Thanks for the responses guys. I see the other posts now - should learn how to use the search more effectively I guess

Seems to be mixed responses on this one. I'm thinking I will apply for 2 and only use one of them primarily unless I get stuck waiting on visa application or main one gets lost etc.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
