The general rule is that if you hold citizenship of a given country, you have to use that country's passport to enter and leave it. Things become much more complicated if you were born in a certain country and do not have its passport or if you should be a citizen of it for some other reason (such as by reason of parents' citizenship). As for countries of which you are not, and should not, be a citizen, you get to choose which passport to present. Usually a US passport is more convenient, but in some cases (such as Chile or Brazil) other countries are better because no visa or reciprocal fee payment is required.</font>
Hasn't really been a problem for me.. I was born in the UK but only have a US passport. Only once visiting the UK did they even ask me if I had a UK passport. I suppose I should get my UK passport for situations like Brazil, etc. I've already paid my Chilean reciprocity fee.
