I recently renewed my passport. The tourist visa stamp in my old passport does not expire until 2027. Is there a way to transfer that visa stamp to my new passport?

Answer

It ordinarily is not possible to transfer a visa “stamp” from one passport to another. However, an unexpired B-1/B-2 visa in an expired passport normally can be presented at the port of entry along with one’s new passport to request admission in B-1/B-2 status. (07.Sep.2023)
