Hi, someone please help me.

So I hold dual nationality. I came to Korea on a South African passport. It has a multiple entry visa. I also hold a Taiwanese passport which I just brought along with me. Now I want to go to Taiwan for the Lunar New year. What passport do I use?

1) Do I use my South African one upon exit of Korea and my Taiwanese one upon entry into Taiwan, then Taiwan passport upon exit and South African one when I re-enter Korea? If it's this one, there would be no stamps of entry into TW on my SA passport, K-immi won't know whether I entered TW or not.

2) Or do I use SA passport only? Do I need a visa then, how do I get one? Can I enter my ancestors's country without using my TW passport? Is it legal?

3) ............other solution........................

And also when I book my tickets, return, what passport do I use?
So what is the best option for me?
Please help, this is frying my brain. Sorry for the incoherent rambling.
Thank you.

Korean immigration will check your SA passport. When entering and leaving Taiwan, use that passport. When coming back, show your SA one again, because that's the one with the visa. They won't check for or care about stamps. Since you'll be showing your ticket along with your SA passport, you should probably use that one to book your tickets too, but it shouldn't matter. Also, be sure not to lose your suitcase full of silver bullion.
