I am leaving for Nepal soon. I made a new passport in the US as my old one expired but my visa is in the old one. Do i need to get visa in the new one when i am in Nepal so that it is easier for me? Has anyone done it before. Appreciate your suggestions.

you just have to carry two passports, that is it. show your visa in the old and get stamped arrival and departure in the new.
You don't want to get a new visa in new passport. I did the same during my visit to Nepal.

If you can change visa to the New PP without any len-den, do it for your convenience. Otherwise, people ask you many things in the immigration. I have very bad experience.

Well, i have heard that visa in expired passport will be automatically invalid. Why don't you go to U.S. Embassy as soon as you landed at Kathmandu ? Otherwise you won't get nice sleep.LOL

I was in the same situation as you Sheetalb. When you go to the US Emb to get a new visa, they will stamp it in your new passport, BUT you will need to take the old passport too since the old visa is there. The US guy will stamp "invalid" on ur old visa. SO MAKE SURE YOU TAKE YOUR OLD VISA/PASSPORT.
Good Luck!!

Ya I did the same tooo, I was carrying expired passport whre I had VALID visa but there were some problems even I had new Passport.



So dont take any chance, Get your Visa transferred in to NAYA RAHADANI.

(Oh sorry Im not talking abt US visa, i. e. European one)

***Do not Do This******


Hello Seta.........

I had the same problem three years back. I had the VISA in the old one, and the passport was expired. I made a new passport, and the problem was the visa was in the expired one.

So i simple took an advice of my best friend at Kathmandu, and tore out the VISA Sticker from the old passport and glued in the new one. Problem solved.

I was rejected entry in the Nepal airport, had to go back to the embassy and they too rejected my visa.

Now i am here in Denmark with my Sunita, though i am a US citizen right now.

Sheetalb - No you don't need to do anything!! Just carry two passports with you. That's all you need to do!! the end!! :)

This is what is written on the last page of Nepali passport:

Notice:

1. The passport is valid for the period specified on the photo page.


This means that the passport is INVALID beyond that date.

You have a good case but why take unnecessary chances? If a good-hearted fellow checks your both passports, he may probably let you through. But a stubborn officer might successfully argue that your expired passport is simply irrelavant. So the onus lies on you to produce a valid document to the officers at port.

My suggestion: get a new visa on the new passport. It might not be difficult as you already have one, albeit on an expired passport.

Is this really a big problem. I am more scared now. I hope i will be able to come back ok. But i will try to get the visa in the new passport as well.Thanks for the suggestions

Sheetalb - trust me ke!! you just carry two passports with you!! I did the same thing and it was fine ke!! uffff!!
you passport's expired not your visa ke!! uffffff!!
It's simple ke just carry two passports with you and when your old visa expires then you get a new visa in your new passport and discard the old passport ke!! :)

:)

Somebody ^ is getting late! Somebody should rush to work now!! (wink!! wink!!) :p

nails is right. I also recently went to Nepal and then came back carrying two passports- the old passport with the visa. there is no problem at all.

Hey Sheetalb:

I also went back to Nepal and came here to the US without anyone questioning why I had visa in my expired passport. Why are you taking unnecessary jhanjhat? Why you want to spend $100 for application for nothig, dude. Grow up, people are making fun of your ignorance here.
Listen to what Elixir, Nails and Rein said in this thread. Rest is up to you.
