Doing some catching up after a week in the USA. Apologize if I posted this before. Here are my very recent experiences as of yesterday:
When flying to the US, they refused my departure E-Ticket. Why? I used my newly gained Dominican passport and it did not have a Visa in it for the USA. This despite being a dual USA/DR citizen with my USA passport. Duh.. So beware of that "rule" if you try to do the same. I was directed to do another E-Ticket for leaving the DR with my USA passport number and I could depart. The new E-Ticket was in Migracion's passport control system system immediately.
(Yes I realize that when I enter the USA , I ALWAYS have to use my USA passport, but this was about departing from the DR. )
On the way back into the DR I had no problem using my DR passport on the E-Ticket to enter the DR.
But, at POP on arrival when leaving with my bags, , they scanned my E-Ticket QR code, so they need more work on already having that in their system.
It was also silly and reduncant place to do it since I was already through immigration and had my bags.
It was reported on anther forum that British Airways was still handing out obsolete and now useless paper forms. What's up with the Brit airline and it's ignorance of reality?
