Two passports, two names...

[TomYagher]

Does anyone have any experience with two passports and two names. Son will be flying on tickets that match name in his Aus passport, but we want to enter Indonesia with a passport that has visa free access, however has additional names in it. Likely to be a problem?

At check in they are going to ask for the passport for visa-free travel to Indonesia. They’ll have to scan that.

How different are the names in the passports? Is it just one additional middle name for example?

Why doesn’t the AU passport match the other? Was it a restriction by the AU authorities that they couldn’t handle the multiple names?
