Can i use my passport like this?

Bingo

Really? A country passport? Like which country?

 

[rcincanada2019]

But if the home country does not allow dual citizenship, one can still do that. The foreign country might not care.

Funny how what you said before is different than what you are saying now... Surely, you were not talking about "overseas citizen" before.

You missed the point that some countries have "overseas citizen" and "citizen" and both their passports are issued from the same country. "Overseas citizen" does not have the same right as "citizen". It's legal, plain and simple.

I'm not even clear what you're arguing about but Overseas Citizen of India is ... not actually citizenship, despite the name.* Nor is the identification document an OCI carries ... actually a passport, or at least not recognized as such outside India (or perhaps better to say "doesn't correspond to normal definition of a passport" under eg ICAO and other rules).

But again, not really clear what point you're trying to make.

*What it actually is, well, separate question.

No, you got confused. I'm not talking about India. There are other countries with overseas citizen which have a separate passport.

Not specific previously but since you put up the #26 question. You will have to research what countries have those clues and narrow it down. Think of Jeopardy the game show!

Why? Can't you give this list? So now I have to provide proof for you?

If you are referring to UK's overseas citizen, doesn't UK allow dual citizenship?

When I go and see my parents in Switzerland I use my Swiss passport to get into the country. When coming home to Canada, I use my Canadian passport. No issues.

Yes UK allows dual citizenship. Despite being British nationals, they have different passports.

Yes UK allows dual citizenship. Despite being British nationals, they have different passports.

So UK does not fall under the "home country that does not allow dual citizenship":

But if the home country does not allow dual citizenship, one can still do that. The foreign country might not care.

Can you name another besides the UK? Yes, the UK citizneship law w/r/t some colonies is hideously complex with lots of bizarre (to me) subcategories.

Anyway, doesn't really seem relevant to the case in that UK does allow dual citizenship. (I admit I don't know how that interacts with Chinese nationality law). But it's true in citizenship worldwide that there are lots of exceptions, weird cases and corner cases.

No, I cannot, but probably true citizenship worldwide that there are lots of exceptions, weird cases and corner cases.

When a country doesn't allow dual citizenship, that means you lose your citizenship on that country. Hence, you cannot hold that country's passport. If you're not allowed to hold that country's passpirt and you use that country's passport, then its fraud. It's that simple

Not necessary. It might just mean the overseas citizen (for example) cannot use their british passport as a valid travel document when entering or exiting the home country.

But they can continue to use their british passport to enter other countries (including UK with a valid visa if applicable).

We don't know what 'home country' you are talking about, so your answer doesn't make a lot of sense.

What point exactly are you trying to make anyway?

No, home country and UK are not always one and the same. As in the case of british overseas citizen, UK might not be the home country.

 

[rcincanada2019]

No, home country and UK are not always one and the same. As in the case of british overseas citizen, UK might not be the home country.

So, this is what I said:

If your home country allows dual citizenship, then yes, you can do that. Your passport from home country would still be valid as a dual citizen.

To which you replied:

But if the home country does not allow dual citizenship, one can still do that. The foreign country might not care.

And now you are saying:

No, home country and UK are not always one and the same. As in the case of british overseas citizen, UK might not be the home country.
