Valid Visa, Invalid Passport

What should you do if your passport has expired but your visa is still valid?

Remember that it is important to assess each case individually, based on the legislation of your country of citizenship and the host country.

• If your passport expires before the visa expires, the stamps with the border crossing permit remain valid. Contact the Department of Internal Affairs to clarify whether it is possible to keep your old passport when obtaining a new passport.

Many countries accept this option.
You must present both documents when crossing the border.

• Transferring the visa to a new passport.

This method is accepted by some countries. Check with the embassy of the host country whether it is possible to transfer the visa to a new passport. The standard procedure begins with writing an application. After that, the entry permit in the old passport is canceled, and the new passport is stamped with the previous expiration date.
