Those countries which stamp entry and exit stamps in passports tend to get upset if you present a passport at exit without the corresponding entry stamp. Expect at the least a long question and answer session regarding how this happened.

Otherwise the immigration entry and exit records won't match up, and they'll either want to know how she comes to be there in the first place as there's no record of her arrival, or in a few years she'll try to enter Australia again and they'll want to know why there's no record of her leaving the previous time.
On entry they put the stamp in the middle of some others, not on the next blank page.
On exit they couldn't find the matching entry stamp and got suspicious that I had entered illegally.

Also does she need a visa to travel to Oz normally on a Chinese passport?
For example this page
Says:
China doesn’t recognise dual nationality. If you enter China on a Chinese passport or identity card, the British Embassy may not be able to offer consular assistance. Any person born in China to a Chinese national parent will be considered by the Chinese authorities to have Chinese nationality. Travellers holding British passports who also hold Chinese citizenship may be regarded by the Chinese authorities as a Chinese citizen, even if you travel to China on a British passport. If you have formally renounced Chinese citizenship, you should carry clear evidence that you have done so.Last edited by SueEllen; 2 August 2014, 20:27.

Originally posted by NickFitz View PostAccording to your second link, it's slightly more complicated. To take the "leaving Australia" bit as an example, it would have to be broken down into:
- Book travel from Australia to China using Chinese passport;
- Check in for journey to China using Chinese passport;
- At Australian immigration exit check, present UK passport that was originally used to enter the country.
Otherwise the immigration entry and exit records won't match up, and they'll either want to know how she comes to be there in the first place as there's no record of her arrival, or in a few years she'll try to enter Australia again and they'll want to know why there's no record of her leaving the previous time.
Similarly for China to UK, but with the Chinese and UK passports swapped around.
I think

Originally posted by greenlake View PostUnfortunately, neither plan will work. Each leg of a journey must be travelled on one passport (although different passports can be used for different legs), so Plan A Leg 3 is not possible, and Plan B Leg 2 is not possible.
Also, a particular country's passport must always be used to enter that country (not an issue with either plan).

I would suggest this:
Chinese Wife leaves UK under UK passport
and Enters Australia on UK passport.
Chinese Wife leaves Australia under Chinese passport
And enters China on Chinese passport
Chinese Wife leaves China under UK Passport
And enters UK with original UK passport

(Note Chinese passport has UK visa in it)Tags: None
