I recently renewed my passport (Brazil). I also have an expired passport, which has my New Zealand visa (permanent resident). I am planning to visit New Zealand.

Since my valid New Zealand visa is in my old/expired passport, do I need to renew/transfer my New Zealand visa or can I simply travel with valid visa in old passport?

  • I don't know what the case is for new zealand but in some countries "permanent residence" can be less permanent than the name implies.

If you have renewed your passport (because it has expired, was lost/stolen or your name has changed), you need to transfer your valid visa into your new passport before you use it to travel. This applies regardless of whether you have a physical visa label or an e-visa or other label-less visa.
