    Some countries do not like dual citizenship/passports so maybe do not tell the others about other passports :D

    Two of my children are half-Beaners. They only use the US passports when entering the US. In general, everybody loves a Mexican (other than illegal). Multiple passports are cool! I wud think Iroquois wud equate to celibrity. Okay, Borne, we've got it figured out!

    ya I really like this idea of just going for both,

    something tells me that no one will care much anyway

    I've never heard of this.

    When I enter an EU country, I can go through the EU citizen customs line. I can do the same entering the USA.

    The only problem I've ever had is not being able to visit an Arab country after having my passport stamped in Israel. You don't brag about your dual citizenship at customs, you produce the appropriate passport and walk right through.

    It's very helpful if you have a boat too! :)

    Here in Alaska we have similar problems with travel back down to the FlatLands, (Lower 48) when going thru Canada. Our car broke down 60 miles from the boarder, in the middle of nowhere, Yukon Territory. We finally found a TowTruck Guy who had Dual US/Canadian Citizenship, Passports and Truck Licenses, to tow us across the boarder. He was the ONLY Guy who could do the JOB, within 1000 Miles, and he charged accordingly, but he got the Job Done. Just Showed his and our US Passports coming back into the US, and his Canadian Passport going back home to Whitehorse, YT. He makes a good living just towing broke down folks across the boarder. Dual Citizenship is really a Plus, Boston. You should definitely consider it

    Just make sure you use a passport consistently

    If you have multiple passports just make sure you always use the same one when entering and leaving a country, even if they are issued by the same country it can still get you into a lot of trouble when their records don't add up.

    My friends spent a few days in a jail cell in South America because one of them used a Canadian passport to enter a country but a UK one to exit.

    Also be sure not to loose your passport in French Guiana, you might just find that your embassy is located in the nations capital, about 7000km (4400 miles) away.

    As a side note if any of you do find yourself travelling in the middle east I recommend having two passports, one for Israel, USA, etc and another for the Muslim countries, otherwise you'll end up spending hours talking to a US immigration official. Most countries will issue you a second passport if you explain that you will be working/travelling in the Middle East a lot.

    Also a warning word for those of you who are eligible for US citizenship but don't have it and are considering it to get a US passport. All US citizens are required to file tax returns and pay taxes in the USA regardless of their residence, if you happen to be working in a country that has a bilateral tax agreement with the US you only have to make sure you file your tax return correctly to be exempt but if you happen to work in a country that does not have a tax agreement with the US or don't file your tax return correctly or on time in the US you can be charged for tax evasion.

    I retired at the age of 30,and enjoy fishing.And crabbing.And prawning.

    Didn't realize how much of a loser I am,sitting here on my 53' motoryacht which can be docked in front of my waterfront home.

    I'd make the offer for you to call in and visit me,take you out and maybe catch a nice salmon, if you ever make it here.
    But I know you wouldn't stoop to such levels.

    I'm such a loser,I can't stand it :rolleyes:

    You have issues. No, more than that; you're obsessed. Try going one day without tying yourself up in knots over how evil the 'usanians' are.

    As far as the fishing goes, you're making even less sense than usual. If fishing isn't a fitting pastime for a man, it isn't fitting to teach it to his son.

    I was pretty sure you could carry both? Iroquois passport isn't recognized for travel I am sure more for bureaucratic reasons rather than political/diplomatic reasons. This is probably an issue the higher ups in the tribe could petition the US government to issue passports as a service to the Iroquois nation that had all the security/background checks/etc etc that US passports have.

    isn't recognized in some places but is in others, the English no but the Canadian and the US I think they are although I'd enter and leave the US under my US passport.

    Im really not sure how this works but I want the Iroquois passport anyway
