passport question
16 years ago, January 6th 2008 No: 1 Msg: #25132  
hi
im planning on visiting central america in the summer 08 (mexico to panama) and was wondering about passports.
im traveling from england however i have both an american passport and british one, and was wondering if anyone new which one would be better/easyer to travel on. coming from england i will hav to travel on my USA passport due to the fact that i will b transfering in either new york or houston and have to use my american one whiles in the states, yet i will need my british one to get bak into the uk. if anyone has any info plese let me no. also, anything that people recomend seeing while im in c.america would b great, thank u.

Either will be fine for travelling most places in the world - in Central America either should get you 30 days in most countries, and 90 days in others - no visas required.

The British one is better to have overall - due to countries often reciprocating visa requirements and the recent US policies have been reciprocated in places like Brazil.

Take both - keep both safe 😊 Reply to this

I would think that the British passport will be the better choice, if plainly because (some) people here don't think so highly of US Americans...

You can get up to
180 days in Mexico,
90 days combined for the countries in the CA-Union (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua),
90 again in Costa Rica,
and I'm pretty sure also 90 days in Panama,
all without any Visa application right at point of entry.

Enjoy! Reply to this
