Frequently Asked Questions What if my passport has expired but my visa is valid?
Many people think that if their passport expires, they have to get a new one from the Exit and Entry Administration.
Will the valid multiple entry visa on the old passport be invalidated by the new passport?
Typically, when an old passport is invalidated, scissors are used to cut off a small triangle, usually the entire copy.
If the visa on your passport is still valid, you should pay attention!
When getting a new passport, explain to the Exit-entry Administration staff to “go easy on” and not cut out the valid visas, just the cover page!
How do I leave the country with a full visa with an old passport?
Once you have successfully retained the valid visa of your old passport, the next question is, will you be able to leave the country with your new passport and the valid long-term visa on your old passport?
In Japan, both old and new passports are allowed to enter and exit the country, but make sure the visa on the old passport is intact.
This is very convenient, but some other countries, like Canada, New Zealand and Singapore, need to go to the consulate to do a visa removal procedure.
In particular, under no circumstances should you dispose of visas on old passports yourself.
It is said that some people have torn out the valid visa page of the old passport and used it in the new passport because they hated the trouble of carrying two passports. This is absolutely wrong.
Old passports with visa pages must not be damaged or destroyed.
What if the old and new passports cannot be used together?
Can a valid visa be used if the old and new passports are not allowed to be used together?
The solution is to transfer the valid visa from the old passport to the new one.
How to do visa migration?
You need to submit the relevant application to the embassy or consulate in person, providing the original old passport, the original new passport and a signed English letter explaining why you want to move, such as the old passport expired or the visa page is full.
The situation in other countries is different and needs to be treated specifically.
In order to avoid delays in travel, Xiaobian reminds everyone to be sure to apply for visas as soon as possible.
Is there any other way?
Last resort: Get a new passport first, then get a long-term visa.
In the past two years, many countries have extended the validity of visas for Chinese tourists, ranging from two to three years to five to 10 years.
If you don’t want to face the hassle of having your passport expired while your visa is still valid, and you plan to travel abroad many times while your visa is still valid, the best solution is to replace your old passport, get a new passport, and then apply for a visa with your new passport.
What is the number of valid visas?
The number of valid visas refers to those who may enter or leave the country once, twice or more times within the period permitted by the validity of the visa or the period of stay.
For example, the visa is valid for five months, allows a stay of 30 days, and is valid twice, which means that there are two opportunities to enter and exit the country during the 30-day stay.
