I am due to leave on a final exit very soon under my current passport.

I have secured a new position for the coming year but they are offering the position based on the fact that I hold another different passport.

My question is:

When I return under the new passport and have my fingerprint taken at the airport will I face difficulties because my fingerprint was linked to a different passport from another country?


Thank you

Just take your other passport with you.

the authorities in KSA can be a bit funny about Dual Nationality. The assumption is always that there is some trickery going on.

Dear Scot47,

That is exactly what I am afraid of.

As soon as my fingerprint pops up on his screen he may well see it linked to a passport from another country from the one I am currently entering under.

I wondered if anyone on here has had any experience of dual nationality and entering under a new nationality after being here under another one.

You're probably okay as long as you're not carrying a Saudi passport. (The Saudi govt doesn't recognize dual citizenship for Saudi nationals.) If that's not your situation but you're still worried, contact the Saudi consulate in your home country with your concerns.
