I would check with the embassy – however when you check in, the airline will want to know how you’ll be able to enter Finland (if there are restrictions on U.S. citizens). Let them know you’re a dual national, show the Finnish passport and that should be the standard approach. But I would recommend contacting the Finnish embassy to be sure. Good luck on the move and safe travels!

I am a Finnish and US citizen and both countries are ok with dual citizenship. I have an active US passport and an active Finnish passport. I currently reside in the US but plan on moving back to Finland permanently. I am looking to buy a one way ticket to Finland shortly. I have googled how it is recommended to buy the ticket using the passport of the country of destination (Finland), then show the US passport at exit immigration in the US and then my Finnish passport once arriving in Finland. All of this sounds good but there is no exit immigration in the US as far as I know. So doing this strategy as so many recommend seems great but is that against the rules since there is no formal exit in the US. I hope this would be ok since with COVID times I am uncertain if I would even be allowed to book the flight with an American passport and fly to Helsinki. The rules about exiting and entering a country with the same passport doesn’t say one can’t book the flight with another passport. Any thoughts? Thank You!!

Here’s the general process: https://foxnomad.com/2016/08/02/book-tickets-check-airport-youre-dual-citizen/

I’m a Dual citizen US/CANADA. I live in Canada. I tend to book my departure trip seperate from return (timing, pricing, etc). My questions are as follows;

1. When booking and providing passport info from Canada, I submit my US passport info as that is what I will be arriving on? (Technically under your premise that Airlines only want to make sure you don’t need visa, I could give them my Canadian as well as I have in past? Until only recently having renewed my US passport after 8 years after a second screening flying in on Canadian passport)

2. When boarding from Canada, do I show the same passport I booked with? In other words US? Obviously once I land in states I’d present US passport because of their laws.

3. Now when returning do I book airline ticket with US passport or Canadian, there are no exit controls, but I assume I board with Canadian to show I can travel to that country?

4. Once I land in Canada I would presumably show my Canadian passport, but doesnt this create implications in further travel and neither country has record of me “leaving” as I used the opposite countries passport when leaving?

Please advise the best steps for US/Canada travel in terms of booking/airline/immigration. Thanks alot!

Wish I could be of some help but I’m not familiar with those residency procedures.
