How to use dual passports to enter and exit relevant regions of China in a reasonable manner Dual passports have become the norm in the cryptocurrency industry, and at the end of each cycle, it is the golden time for identity planners. These days, while drinking, I heard about a friend with dual passports who encountered immigration problems in Hong Kong. Taking this as a warning, I would like to talk to everyone about this issue and provide a science popularization for those who are preparing for dual passports. Generally speaking, dual passports in the cryptocurrency industry are issued by China and a third country. Although China does not recognize dual citizenship, dual passports are very useful for many people who need to travel around, especially for countries that require visas and are difficult to obtain. We won't discuss the compliance of dual passports this time! The partner went to Hong Kong with a Hong Kong Macao passport from Chinese Mainland, and then went to Macao with a Mexican passport from Hong Kong. The reason is very simple. The Mexican passport gives Macao a longer time. The partner believes that Hong Kong itself travels with dual passports, so he takes it for granted that it is OK to change passports in Hong Kong. The result was that he was stopped when entering Macau, because he was trying to enter Macau with a Mexican passport. In fact, this is the most common misconception about dual passports. I already know the principle of entering and exiting the same country, so when I enter Macau, I use my Mexican passport. In fact, if I fly from Hong Kong to Japan, it is not a problem to present my Mexican passport when entering Japan, but not in Macau. Because Macau uses the same underlying data as Hong Kong, the Macau border inspection system can detect that the individual is a mainland resident with no valid visa to Macau through data sharing and biometric matching, directly determining it as an abuse of the transit system and inconsistent documents. The punishment result is quite serious, not only being administratively detained for investigation, but also being banned from entering Macau for three years, which is not over. After being deported back to Hong Kong, he was also punished by Hong Kong for not being allowed to enter Hong Kong for one year. This is not over yet. When I returned to Shenzhen from Hong Kong, I had to go into a small black room to explain the issue of my dual passport. In the end, I "voluntarily cancelled" my Mexican passport. You should know that the Mexican passport is jokingly called the "decapitated passport" in the industry, and it is already a lot of trouble. At first, I applied for it for the sake of cheapness, but it turned out to be a mess in Macau. In fact, if you really hold two passports, you must follow the rule of entering and leaving the same country at the same time. You must not make a mistake, that is, entering and leaving one country must be the same passport. For example, if you have Chinese and Mexican passports and want to go to Japan, but your Chinese passport does not have a Japanese visa, the simplest solution is to use a country or region that allows dual passport travel as a transit point. Previously, Hong Kong was possible, but now try not to use Hong Kong. Currently, the most convenient option is Thailand. You can use your Chinese passport to travel visa free to any city in Thailand, then enter Thailand with your Chinese passport, leave Thailand with your Chinese passport, enter Japan with your Mexican passport, and leave Japan with your Mexican passport. All of these procedures are routine and require no explanation. But the biggest problem has come. Can I fly directly back to China from Japan and enter with a Chinese passport! In theory, it can be done, but there is a high probability that you will be blacklisted because your Chinese passport does not have information on entering and leaving Japan, but you have returned from Japan. How to operate this will expose your second passport. So the closed loop of the dual passport logic needs to become that when leaving from Japan, you should not fly directly to Chinese Mainland, but fly to Thailand, then use a Chinese passport to enter Thailand, then use a Chinese passport to leave Thailand, and use a Chinese passport to enter China. This completes a reasonable closed loop. Of course, China does not support dual citizenship, and this article does not encourage Chinese citizens to apply for two or more foreign passports. In addition, permanent residency (PR, green card) does not equal a passport or nationality. Chinese citizens can legally hold permanent residency status in multiple countries.
