doowopbob Posted September 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Our Brazil visa was received in 2014 and is good for 10 years. However our passport expired in 2015 and we have new ones obviously without the Brazil visa in them. Does anyone know if the Visa is still valid even with an expired passport?

FredZiffle Posted September 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 19, 2017 A visa is valid until its expiration date. Therefore, if the traveler has a valid visa in an expired passport, he/she may use it along with a new valid passport of the same nationality for travel. At least, that's what I found when I googled your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly what the Brazilian Consulate in Miami told us last year when we got Brazilian visas and the clerk realized that our current US passports would expire well before the visas expire.

Wayfairers Posted September 22, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Glad to find this question as we have visas that expire after our passports. I had heard you carry both passports, but I have never talked to anyone that has actually done it. Hopefully someone will respond that has done it. Does that mean you turn both passports in to the ship when they collect passports? Too bad they don't make all passports/visas electronic so you just carry a card that gets scanned and the electronic information (including non-expired visas) moves to the next card once the old one has expired. We have the technology for that. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
