Hi,
This is topic is very important to me, and I appreciate any help anyone can give me. Can any American citizen who has acquired Spanish nationality please explain to me how we move through the airports and customs, traveling to/from Europe and the U.S. without getting caught with both passports by the Spanish government? We are supposed to renounce our U.S. citizenship, but I understand it is only within Spain.
I´ve been in Madrid for over 10 years and am married. I am fully integrated and applied some time ago for the Spanish nationality. Now I have my juramento coming up soon. I´m excited to acquire Spanish citizenship, but I am afraid Spain will catch me with both passports. I´m getting cold feet as I really should´t have both passports.I live in Spain and don´t want to have problems here.
How can I travel? For example, if I am going from Madrid to Chicago and later returning back to Madrid.
My general understanding is that in the U.S., I show American documents. In Spain, I show all police, customs officers only Spanish documentation. How can I get through the Spanish exiting police/customs showing my Spanish passport without their seeing any type of visa? What about the return trip? I will arrive in Madrid with no stamp in my Spanish passport. How can I get back into Spain without having problems? Also, we have to contend with the airline ticket counters and the information they are sending to both countries.
Can anyone explain their experiences?
I appreciate all help.
Thanks...
