My son has both Russian and American passports. When we leave Russia - we show his Russian passport at immigration, if they ask we show the American one, they don't even ask generally. At airline counter they need and always ask for the US passport as they are responsible that each passenger has proper docs to enter the destination country. In the US they don't care as long as his US passport is valid.

Many russians who have italian citizenship can use both passport when they pass through the russian custom. But the situation may be really different with a US citizen..

They double or even tripple check because the're held responsible if u arrive with no valid visa and sent back... *Von:* "Charles Borden" <[email protected]> *Gesendet:* 23.06.09 05:59:18 *An:* The Moscow Expat List <[email protected]> *Betreff:* Re: Expat List Dual citizenship There is no reason to present the US passport when departing Russia except at the airline ticket counter. Passport control does not care if you have a visa or not for your destination. They are only concerned that you have a right to leave Russia. When you arrive in the US, they only care that you have a right to enter so all that is necessary is a US Passport, green card or US visa. You don’t need to show a Russian passport.
