Hi, 

I intend to travel from London to Brussels next month (then onto Austria and Switzerland). I have two passports, British and EU. 

Which one should I use for filling out the API for Eurostar?

I haven't booked my return yet, but when I do, which one should I use then?

Many thanks in advance. 

This doesn’t really matter I guess. The one you take with you on your travels.


If you use UK you must get it stamped on entry and exit from EU/Schengen.


I take both though. British to exit and reenter the UK, the EU to enter/exit all other countries.

What confuses me is that Eurostar exits UK and enters EU so, I don't know which border to consider.

I'm sorry if I'm just being dumb and over thinking it. 


If you don't plan to spend more than 90 out of 180 days within the Schengen/EU area, I think it is wise to use the UK passport to exit and enter the UK. Otherwise you might get problems getting back to the UK.
