Lavers Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Hey everyone Just a quick question if anyone can help. I’ve just got a new passport for my daughter and I’ve updated the passport number on my immi account. Just checking is that all I need to do so that we can leave the country and re-enter without any issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the old passport if in any doubt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammygirl Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Last time we left Aus as dual citizens I tried to check in with my Uk passport as we were going to Vietnam and didn’t need a visa with a Uk passport. The check in desk were confused. Turns out they need to know you can return to Aus so need to see a visa or Aus passport. Never happened before. Airline checkin is different I to passport control. I was told to use Uk Passport entering and leaving migration control at Vietnam airport but to show both passports to airline checkin.

Surely when you are checking in to depart its irrelevant when or even if you plan to return?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told to use Uk Passport entering and leaving migration control at Vietnam airport but to show both passports to airline checkin. I messed up and did an online check in to leave Australia on my UK passport and it didn't go through and got quite complicated. They have those horrible auto checking things in Perth airport and they wouldn't let me through, even when I used the Australian one. Too ages to get a person to help.

If you have a return ticket the airlines have started to check as it causes problems on the return leg if you don’t have a valid visa or passport. I guess too many people either don’t get an RRV or a Aus passport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
