So you buy the more expensive return ticket which allows cancellation and you cancel the return leg once in the UK and get a refund.rahul_yanina wrote:Hi there, thanks for your answer.
The problem leaving Argentina with an Argentinian passport is that Argentinans are not allowed to stay indefinitely in U.K and she might be asked to show a return ticket to Argentina at checkin in Argentina.
But the fact is that she is a full fledged Italian citizen (otherwise she wouldn't have got an Italian passport), so she can stay in U.K. indefinitely. So these 2 are in conflict with each other!
To be honets, when in Argentina, she is also an Italian citizen, though she is Argentinian as well, of course. I personally don;t see what is wrong in leaving Argentina with the Italian passport, thereby not requiring a return ticket.I don't want to shell out for a return ticket just for the sake of it, and this is confusing me big time.
Surely this is quite a common occurrence, so what do people do?
So is this the only way to solve the problem? Will she run into trouble if she uses the Italian passport to leave Argentina? If asked for a return ticket, can she produce her Italian passport to show that she does not need a return ticket?meats wrote: So you buy the more expensive return ticket which allows cancellation and you cancel the return leg once in the UK and get a refund.
She has an Italian passport so she can live in the UK. If she's returning the Argentina then it's going to be on a holiday no? So she just buys a normal return ticket from the UK.rahul_yanina wrote:So is this the only way to solve the problem? Will she run into trouble if she uses the Italian passport to leave Argentina?

And what about future trips to Argentina? What do we do then? If she has to always leave Argentina with an Argentinian passport, then we'll always have to play this game of buying return tickets and cancelling the return part of the ticket, which sounds weird to say the least.
It's bizarre that there is no simpler solution considering she has an EU passport!
It shouldn't be a problem no. To be on the safe side you can always buy one of the expensive return tickets and cancel the return leg which means you would get a refund on that portion of the ticket. I personally don't see a problem mind as she can legally live and work in the UK on the Italian passport.rahul_yanina wrote:Hi meats, thanks for your replies my friend.
If she can produce her Italian passport to show she does not need a cisa or return ticket, then that solves the problem for all time. And as you said, going back to Argentina should not be a problem, as you said, as it will be a holiday and she would leave U.K. with her Italian passport and enter Argentina on her Argentinian passport, and keep repeating the cycle.
So the critical thing is being able to waive the Italian passport in case she is asked to produce a return ticket or documentation to show she can stay legally in the U.K. without a visa. Surely this should be ok, considering the Italian passport is legal and having 2 passports is also legal for Argentinians.
Just to add to what I said above (not an Argentinian with my experience though, sorry): the reason that airlines check the passengers' passports is to make sure that they are admissible to the country at the end of the journey. The airlines are often required to do that by the destination country and they are often subject to heavy fines if passengers arrive with inadequate documentation. Airlines are not, in general, concerned with the immigration status of passengers in the departure country.rahul_yanina wrote:Hi everyone, thanks for your experiences and help.
Argentina definitely allows dual nationality - a lot of Argentinians have Italian passports.
So from what you are saying, this should not be a problem at all, as both passports are legal and valid documents giving her the right to stay in different parts of the world. I would think that is also the logical thing, otherwise it would be a nightmare buying return tickets all the time and then cancelling the return leg.
Any Argentinians here who can add his/her experiences?
I don't know why she would have to produce both passports at passport control, but if she were asked by passport control when leaving Argentina she could produce the Italian one. She won't need to produce anything but her Italian passport on entry to the UK.rahul_yanina wrote:Thanks Christophe, thanks for that. I agree with the sequence of passports you have mentioned, except that at passport control she might need to produce both passports (and possibly at checkin). But as long as both can be legally produced, and accepted, we should be fine here, I think.Right?
