As a dual citizen, my US passport will expire one day after traveling to the US (May 4th). I will be staying for one week, flying back to Europe afterwards (where I am a resident). Can I enter with my US passport, and leave with my valid EU passport? I'm flying with Icelandair.



Also, in this case I shouldn't try to get an ESTA fo my EU passport, right?



PS. When trying to use an emergency procedure to renew my US passport, I am not getting any replies from the US consulate.

    If you are a US citizen you must enter under your US passport and can stay indefinitely. There is no need for ESTA. You can get an expedited renewal for your passports once in the US if time permits.

As a US Citizen - which is what gives you the right to a US Passport, you can stay indefinitely in the US. You are not even required to have a US passport, although that makes it easier to enter the United States. Your passport is valid the day you arrive, so there should not be any problem. You could be coming back to renew your passport as I suggest you do, to make it easier to get back in. Should you not have enough time to do so, you can always have it renewed at a US embassy abroad.



Given that you are a US citizen, you are also not eligible for an ESTA. Leaving on any passport is not an issue in the US because the US does not do exit immigration. Airlines do share data telling who is leaving the US but that is not the same as exit immigration.



Given your schedule seems a little tight, just procede normally. Enter the US on you still-valid US passport than fly out and enter the EU with your EU passport. From there you will have more time to review your US passport which you can do without the emergency procedure. Just make sure you have all the documentation with you when you leave the US. The US government has all the relevant information on their website here.

  1. As a US citizen you cannot be denied entry into the US, regardless whether you have a passport or not or whether it's valid

  2. Entering without a valid passport can be pain. The immigration officer will need to let you in eventually but they can make it painful process.

  3. Since your passport is valid, you are fine either way. They may grunt at you for a while, but you can just ignore that and say "yes officer" repeatedly.

  4. The US has no exit controls, you don't need a US passport to leave the country.

  5. Don't use ESTA when dealing with US immigration, use your US passport, expired or not.

  • Because of the law requiring US citizens to "bear" a valid US passport on departure, a CBP officer could prevent OP from boarding if the lack of a valid US passport were discovered in a spot check. Spot checks are pretty uncommon on most routes, however. I also believe US airlines pay more attention to the immigration status of departing passengers than do European airlines.
