Dual Nationals Traveling to the U.S. ・ Departure and Entry

Problem / Need advice

  • 妻が二重国籍
  • mail

My wife is a dual citizen of Japan and the U.S. We are getting married in early February&We are going to Hawaii for our honeymoon.
・ Booked round trip ticket with Japanese passport information
・ Japanese passport with married name
・ US passport with maiden name

I think the following concerns exist in this situation. ?
In this situation, is it even possible to leave the country in the first place ?

For outbound travel
・ When leaving Japan, use Japanese passport (check in & at passport control)
< ・ Entering US using US passport (different family name but still allowed to enter US ? \ \}

Return
・ Check-in using Japanese passport
・ Departure using US passport (at this time, you can leave Japan even though your last name is different from your ticket ? )
・ Use Japanese passport when entering Japan

I wish I had realized this earlier, but I didn't have much time, 5 weeks before my flight, and I checked the US consulate's website, I wish I had realized this earlier, but I have only 5 weeks until my flight, and when I check the US consulate website, it states that passport renewal usually takes 6-8 weeks, so I will not make it in time.

Worst case scenario, I will have to consider changing the name on the ticket side, so if anyone has any insight, I would appreciate it if you could advise me.

If your wife has a Japanese passport and the airline ticket is in her name, she should be able to enter and leave Japan with a round-trip Japanese passport ? I don't think you need to be concerned about an American passport. However, you will need to apply for ESTA in that case.

Incidentally, the U.S. allows dual citizenship, so you can use your Japanese passport to leave Japan and your U.S. passport to enter the U.S. However, in Japan, you must choose between the two if you are over 23 years old, so if you use your Japanese passport to return home, the information about your entry to the U.S. will not be included. If you use a Japanese passport to go back to Japan, you may be suspected of various things because it will not contain information about your entry into the U.S. If your wife is over 23, I think it is safe to use a round-trip Japanese passport.
If you want to use an American passport for the round trip, I think you should change your name on the airline ticket to your maiden name. I can imagine that it will be troublesome when you check in for your flight out of Japan and when you check in for your flight back home.

Your wife is
① a Japanese citizen but has acquired US citizenship
② your parents are Japanese and your wife was born in the US and has dual citizenship

the response depends on which of the above you choose.

① In the case of , as AG said, it is not allowed in Japan, so you need to choose
either one, but there is no problem if you enter and leave Japan with a Japanese passport.
Please choose in the near future.

② In the case of , my daughter and son were born in the US and are US citizens, but I am a Japanese citizen, so I have Japanese citizenship as well.

When I renew my Japanese passport, I am told to choose it softly. When I renew my Japanese passport, I am told to choose softly, but I am not forced to do so.
My daughter is married,
for example,
her current surname is (Itami)
our surname is (Haneda)
my maiden name is (Narita)
on her American passport.
And I have been to Japan without any problem. And I plan to keep my dual citizenship.

I can book flights under either name on my passport.
Both passports will be presented at the airline counter in both the US and Japan.

At customs on outbound flight
Departing Japan → Japanese passport
Arriving in Hawaii → American passport

At customs on return flight
Departing USA → No customs, airline
Arrive in Japan → Japanese passport

If you are concerned that your passport name may be different,
you may want to carry a copy of your family register with you just in case ?

<4467> I think the worst thing you can do is
apply for ESTA while you are a US citizen.
If you check
No, you are lying to the U.S. government and it will be very disadvantageous.

In the meantime, why don't you contact the airline ??

>Thank you AG and min
for your answers.
My wife's pattern was born in the US, so she is ② the one you refer to in your pattern, min.

I was worried, so I decided to apply for ESTA, but then I got stuck on the very thing you pointed out and had to suspend the application.
I will use a copy of my family register as you pointed out, since my maiden name is correct in the U.S. even if my surname has changed.
Incidentally, I also checked with the airline company, but they replied that they could not make a decision.
The response was that there should be no particular problem, but it cannot be said with certainty that there is no problem, so if you are unsure, please decide on your nationality and apply for esta and go as a Japanese. If you are worried about it, decide your nationality and apply for esta and go as a Japanese.

Hi

Let me make one correction.
My maiden name is not correct for my US passport,
it means that my maiden name is not a problem.
My daughter has been married for 3 years and I was told that changing it is not a problem at the next renewal.

As long as the name on the plane ticket and either passport is the same, you can board the plane.
However, you must have both passports.

When you go through immigration in the U.S.,
both of you should proceed to the immigration counter together.
Since your wife is entering the U.S. as an American, she only needs to present her U.S. passport and no airline tickets, etc.

When leaving the U.S.,
present both passports at the airline company counter.
And at the baggage checkpoint, you will need to present your passport, but
go through with your U.S. passport.

Basically, Japanese passport for entering and leaving Japan
American passport for entering and leaving America.

I wish you a wonderful wedding, honeymoon, and trip 💒.

I have a very sweet Asian boyfriend, but I get the impression that he is not thinking about our future or becoming a family. I am not sure if I want to marry him or not due to our different values. I am feeling impatient because of my age since I am not young, but it is also very difficult to meet Japanese people here in America. I am not sure if I can go out with him. I am not sure if it is safe to go out with a Japanese person. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I was watching FUJI TV using a Smart Android TV Box, and all of a sudden it went out with a bang, and the red and blue lights that always turn on when I look at the box also went out.
I'm sure it's something simple, but I have no idea what it is, so please let me know. ? Is it OK to just re-connect them ?
I'm sorry, please tell me.

I'm a woman in her twenties, married and raising a family here in Japan.
My brother would like to go to a language school for a short term starting in the spring, but he doesn't have any friends around him who go to language school and I can't gather much information. I would like to know if there are any good language schools in the Gardena&Torrance area.
Thanks in advance.

I own a restaurant in Hawaii.
I just started last year.
We are a fast food restaurant with a large menu and we are having a hard time training newcomers.
We would like to have a central kitchen so that everyone can have the same taste
right away.
We don't know what kind of movement we should make at the beginning...
Please let us know if you have any information.
Thank you very much.

KIKO is right.
As long as we are recruiting at that salary,
we will only get people at that salary level. If you keep messing around patiently, I think it's fine as it is.

If that's not possible, systemize ( mechanize ) the operation like a chain restaurant and spend money on it, and it will be solved.

If you don't have that money, then create an operations system that allows you to mechanize your employees.

Are you looking for a central kitchen location ?
or do you have a central kitchen now
and are you looking for personnel there ?

To make sure everyone gets the same taste, I think you should create a manual
.

It is also necessary to simplify the menu. ? After all, if there are many menus
, it would be difficult to make the same taste.

Maybe we should divide the menu into popular and less popular items
and make the less popular items
the monthly specials, for example.

I have never run a restaurant myself.

While transferring money through a bank is generally a safe and reliable way to send money, there are a few points to keep in mind.

Remittance fees: It is important to check the fees in advance, as different banks have different fees.

Transfer time: Depending on the bank you are transferring to and the time of day, it may take several days.

Payee information: exact bank name, account number, SWIFT code, etc. is required.

Tax Reporting: Tax reporting may be required for remittances over $250,000.

It is best to contact your bank directly for specific bank names and detailed procedures. If there is anything else you would like to know, please feel free to let us know.

How can I increase the amount of money I can send? ? How much can I increase the amount of money I can send even though I only have a regular account ? If you are in the U.S., could you please ask me while you visit a bank ? Bank of America.

$ If you're going to send 250,000 in dollars, you should definitely send it when the yen is cheap. Today $ is a good day to send money because 1=158 yen. Japanese banks charge about 3 yen as a commission. All banks charge roughly the same fee. The remittance fee is not much. Japanese banks usually call the receiver if the amount is over 10 million yen, and if the receiver does not answer the phone, they will not receive the money even if the money is transferred. Since the money is received on the day the receiver answers the phone, the amount in yen is transferred after approximately 3 yen is deducted from the exchange rate on that day.

If you know of a place in Honolulu, preferably near Ala Moana or Downtown, where I can get my watch battery changed, please let me know. The battery in my watch that I use for work has run out and I need to get it replaced ASAP, but the watch shop on Pensacola St. that I usually go to is on vacation until 12/14, so I am in a bind. It is a simple watch with water resistance.

I have no problem requesting more than a week off when I'm part time and have no benefits ? I reported 3 months before the expected date.
Depending on the size of the company, busy season, etc., there are even times when my co-workers and bosses are not happy with me ? If taking a vacation would cause problems for the company, I would be willing to quit.

I have been on vacation for a long time, but I have weekends off, so there are 7 days that I can't come to work. When I reported it to my boss, he looked at me with a little disapproval, but I told him that I would do something about it and he agreed, but I am worried that it will be a great inconvenience.

You mean in Hawaii ( within the US ).
I think there are not many thoughtful people who report three months before their schedule, but unless it is a very small company, everyone takes their vacations without hesitation. I think only Japanese people can't take a vacation because they wonder if it would be a nuisance.
