Hi Everyone

its been a while....hope all is well with all..

I am traveling to Brazil once more, and I received my new passport since my old expired. My travel visa is in my old passport and i just looked at it and this visa has my old passport number listed on it.

My new passport has a new number.

According to the Brazilian Consulate in SF, you won't have any problems.

20. My Brazilian tourist visa stamp is valid until 2011, but my passport expired. Do I need to go through the whole visa process again?

No. You can travel to Brazil carrying your expired passport, with the Brazilian visa stamped on it, attached to your new passport. May we suggest you to staple both passports together to make sure you have them both at the moment you enter Brazil.

Now, I wouldn't staple the two passports together, but definitely bring them both.

How much time is left on your old visa? If it's less than a year or two and you're planning to go back in the next few years, I'd just pony up for a new visa for the convenience, unless you think Clinton's talking about making travel for Brazilians easier meaning that she's going to try to get a VWP set up for Brazil.

I had to do this a few years ago, and I didn't have any problems. As long as you have both passports, you will be fine.

You can travel with both passports without any problems, just make sure you have at least 6 months left on your visa or else you'll require a new one.

This is what someone from the Brazilian consulate told me.
