    US/Swiss Dual Citizenship
    I am travelling to Brazil in a few weeks. I am wondering if I can enter and exit the US on a US passport but use the Swiss passport to enter and exit Brazil. I ask because Brazil does not require the application for a tourist visa from Swiss citizens, but it does require a visa for US citizens.
    Also, will this be a problem upon re-entering the US that I do not have a "trip stamp" in my passport.
    Thanks!

    I think you should use your Swiss passport, Not only is it better to travel with a Swiss document, but I think you would get treated better by Brazilian authorities. :)

    Back from Brazil
    Left the US and visited Brazil on my Swiss passport without a hitch. On return I used the US passport to get back in, no questions asked. I didn't have to stand in the (long) US Citizens line getting into Brazil or submit to getting my picture taken.
    It was a good deal all around and I would suggest this method of travel if you have the appropriate documents.
