Can I Enter Two Countries Without Getting Back To My Home Country

Can I travel to a country from a country I’m currently visiting (not my home country) and comeback?

Question: Can I travel to a country from a country I’m currently visiting (not my home country) and comeback?Yes, generally you can, provided that you are allowed to visit both countries. There may be a few exceptions, either because you cannot cross that border (such as that between North Korea and South Korea), or because a country will not allow you to visit it if you have previously visited another country (e.g., some Muslim countries will not allow you in if you have visited Israel).A couple of examples from my travels, with an Australian passport:I recently visited France, hired a car there for two weeks, and travelled around visiting Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, before returning to France. Those countries are all in the Schengen area, so there are no controls on the borders between them: you only know that you have entered a country like Germany because there is a sign at the side of the road saying “Deutschland” and suddenly everyone is speaking German instead of French or Dutch.Another visit was to Singapore and Malaysia. I flew into Singapore, spent a couple of days there, caught a bus to Malaysia, spent time there, then caught a bus back to Singapore. As an Australian tourist, I can enter both countries without a visa, but I needed to go through passport control each way between the two countries.Back when Hong Kong was a British colony and not part of China, I went to a conference in China, but stopped in Hong Kong for a few days each way. So I needed a visa to enter China, but didn’t need a visa for a short visit to Hong Kong. I flew to Hong Kong, spent time there, flew to Beijing, and used my visa to enter China, flew back to Hong Kong, and spent a bit more time there. It was not much more complex than it would have been to fly directly to Beijing.

Can I serve in two different countries army's?

In general, it is possible and happens. The details depend on the criteria in each nation.

Israel requires all citizens to serve in the military. Some Jewish men in the US will go to Israel to serve and maintain their Israeli citizenship (the US allows dual citizenship). There would be nothing against one of these individuals coming back and serving in the US military.

There have been a number of Iraqi citizens that were forced to serve in the Iraqi military who have now become US citizens. Some of these have joined the US military as interpreters or in other jobs. I just worked with some at FT Irwin last week.

You do not have to become a US citizen to join the military, just a legal resident. Joining the military can shorten the time it takes to become a US citizen.

In WWI, some US citizens joined the Canadian or British military to become fighter pilots. In WWII, the US sent pilots to essentially become mercenaries for the Chinese to fight the Japanese (the Flying Tigers). They even received time in service credit for the time with the Chinese.

Can I enter and/or exit the Schengen area via a country other than the one for which I have a visa?

Yes.Even you can enter the Schengen Area wherever you wish to enter, not necessarily in Italy, as long as you spend the maximum time of your visit in Italy. Thus your Italian stay should be longer than your Swiss stay. (Did that myself, i.e., entered and exited in another country than the country of main destination.)You should apply to the embassy where you plan to stay longer. Or if the stays are equal, then apply to the country where you spend the time first.In reality, no one (the immigration people) cares where you exited from, even with a Single Entry visa, as long as you exit the Schengen before the visa expiry. Airlines however will be interested to know if you are going back to your country of nationality or a third country (with an appropriate visa), before giving you a boarding pass.

If you commit a crime in a foreign country...?

Such as murder, and then you go back to your country. What's gonna happen? Is your home country gonna put you in jail? Or is the foreign country gonna do something? If so, what? They don't have jurisdiction outside of their country so what can they do?

Can you get enter a country legally NOT through a valid check point?

I don't know about those countries but it might be possible. Write to the embassies or consulates of each country involved explaining what you would like to do, when and what you will be carrying. Also show that you can afford an expedition of this type, what your backup plans will be in the event of an emergency and your arrangements for returning home from the end of the trip. Will you be hiring local guides or doing this on your own? They will want to know as many details as possible, why you want to take this trip and how it will benefit their economies. It is possible to get permission but don't be surprised if it takes over a year of planning to make all the pieces fall into place.

My passport is almost expired, can I travel back to my home country with it or will the airlines refuse me?

NO. With an expired passport you cannot travel back to home country. Almost expired is different from expired.Say travel date is 12/12/2017 and Passport expiry date is 12/12/2017, you will be allowed to fly back to home country provided you check in before this date.If you are travelling on or after 13/12/2017 , you wont be allowed by the airlines even when you travel to home country. You must conatct the nearest indian embassy and get passport renewed and travel.It happened once for my friend who forgot to renew his kids passport and identified the expiry date while doing online checkin for india travel from UK. The system did not allow him to complete his check in process. He applied for premium passport renewal on same day costing around 250GBP per child and completed the trip.

How do you even travel to another country? (Tourist)?

I was sitting here thinking.. how do you travel to a country, say like.. the UK?? Do I just go to my local airport and tell them I want to go just for pleasure? Do i need a visa? What information/documents do i need in order to go to an airport and buy a plane ticket to the UK? How does the whole process work? (say im an American wanting to travel to the UK solo just to tour the city for a week)

Can I enter and leave a country with different passports?

No, you have to leave on the passport with which you entered, and according to the new rules, Canadian citizens must enter on a Canadian passport.I accidentally tried this once – I flew in on my Canadian passport, but was going back to Germany so instinctively gave my Polish one at check-in. The lady clearly had some problems checking me in, and eventually I realised that her computer wasn’t showing this passport as having entered Canada. I gave my Canadian one, and it was all fine, but clearly the check occurred in some way.That said, some countries whose systems are a little less than complete, you might get away with this. I did this once in Jordan when I lost my passport, having forgotten which one I had entered on. Michael Moszczynski, the Canadian, is still roaming the streets of the country, while Michał Moszczyński managed to enter once and leave twice.
