Dual citizens - which passport to enter?

[MommyTo3]

We're Dutch, but my children also have US citizenship. I am wondering whether it matters on which passport I should let them enter HK on Monday? I guess it won't but just in case I am overlooking something. Any experience why EU and/or US would be preferred? I don't care, but wondering whether there is a difference.

BTW, my husband already has his visa and HKID, but we're finally joining him next week.

TIA!

either passport will get a 90 day stamp so i dont think it matters if you're a tourist. neither seems to have any benefits over the other so you use whichever your comfortable with

If you enter as a tourist on either passport, you'll get 90 days stay. As for the pricing on dependency visa applications, it should be the same regardless of nationality. Either passport will do fine.

actually it's 180- i have used both my american and my english (EU) passport before. us doesn't officially recognize dual citizenships, they say that you should use the US passport whenever you travel. what i usually do is leave/enter with us passport, but will do my intracountry travels with the british..

Only British Citizens get 180 days. Everyone else who doesn't need a visa to enter Hong Kong gets 90 , 60, 30 , 14 or 7. If you came on your US passport as a tourist, you'd only get 90 just as how I would only get 90 on my Canadian passport.

This is wrong in three aspects.

As stated above only British Citizens get 180 days. If you enter on a US or Dutch passport you will get 90 days as a visitor.

Moreover, the US DOES recognise dual citizenship. The only stipulation is that if you are a US Citizen then you must not use another country's passport to enter the US.

And there is no such thing as an "english" passport.
