I got my Brazil visa in Feb 2006 for 5 years and multiple entries and I did my first trip with in 90 days that made my visa valid till Feb 2011. The passport that I have visa on expired, now I have an other valid passport but the visa is on expired passport. I have sent emails and tried calling to Brazilian Consulate in Canada but no response. Any thoughts ? can I bring my old passport (expired) with valid visa and valid passport to travel? Thanks

I am sending some links concerned in brazilian passport and visa.
Wish the links may help you even though you obtain number phone or address.

your visa in your old passport is still valid. just make sure that when you get your new passport they don't hole-punch through the old visa thus invalidating it.

When I had to change my passport to a biometric one, I had my residency permit on the old passport. What the passport office did was staple both passports together so that officers at Passport controls could see why I had 2 passports.

They canceled my old passport by stamping the pages with identification information.

Maybe you should try contacting your passport office in Canada, they might have a similar procedure.

I had the same problem once. If you don't want to pay for a new visa, you have to (and can) carry both passports. I found it inconvenient and, since my visa didn't have much longer to go, chose to get another in the new passport.

Thanks all for your response

Yes, you just need to have your 2 passports with you. The VISA is independent of the passport and the only problem is the incovenience of travelling with both passports. I have the same problem with my USA VISA and I allways get in with both passports. They never complained.
