Hi everyone,
I have read most of the posts on this site about tourist visa runs, so I think I'm relatively well-informed about the process and limitations (ie increasingly strict immigration and an unofficial limit of 3 entries), but I haven't seen anything specifically related to dual citizenship.
My Malaysian boyfriend needed to move back to the country for some time, so I tagged along with him and am here on a tourist visa with the hope to stay for as long as possible while he sorts out his overseas visa. I am currently on my second visitor Visa, having left on day 71 of the first visa to spend 5 days in Thailand, and I'm in the process of planning my next departure. I'm aiming to leave around the 80 day mark for a period of 10 days.
What (might) make my circumstances slightly different is that I am fortunate enough to have two passports, let's call them American and British. I originally entered on my American passport, and re-entered on that same passport again after my first visa run. I am wondering if for the second visa run there would be any benefit to entering on my British passport (of course leaving on the American), or whether facial recognition/fingerprinting at customs would allow immigration to catch on.
Does anyone have any insight? Any other advice or recent news related to visa extensions would be great to hear as well.
Thanks!
