I was born in the U.S. and am a dual citizen. My U.S. passport expired a long time ago. Can I use my Jamaican passport to travel to the U.S.? Is there a risk of traveling to the U.S. using my Jamaican passport only?
By law, U.S. citizens, including dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and exit the United States. U.S. citizens are not eligible for a U.S. visa. U.S./Jamaica dual citizens are advised to carry both valid passports (U.S. and Jamaica) when traveling to/from the United States. The dual citizen will be required to present their U.S. passport at U.S. immigration and might be requested to present their Jamaican passport when going through Jamaican immigration.
