I have dual citizenship (Israeli + American passport). When I enter Israel, I enter on my Israeli passport. As an Israeli citizen, I must pay an additional VAT tax on my hotel and rental car (no small thing, I think it's about 18% extra). If I could enter on my American passport, I would not have to pay it. And yes, last time I tried offering the rental car company my American passport, but they firmly told me they must use the passport with which I entered the country.
My specific question: Has anyone with dual citizenship every managed to enter on their American passport? I have a feeling it wouldn't work, but thought to ask.
TIA!
