rickray Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 As I have a new US passport, am I required to go to immigration and transfer the visa to the new passport? Or is it ok, if I just leave and come back with my new passport? I am not interested in keeping the non-immigrant B visa that I have and I know I will get 90 days on arrival when I return from Malaysia, but do I really have to bother with getting the visa transferred to the new passport.

NaamGin Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I had to go through this recently and yes, you have to take both passports to immigration, fill out a form, pay the fee and have the visa stamps transferred to the new passport... Don't ask me for specific details as I had my visa agent do it for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Visas are not transferred. Only entry, extensions of stay stamps, re-entry permits and etc issued by immigration are transferred to a new passport. If you have a valid multiple entry non-b visa in your old passport you would use both passports on entry to use the visa in the old passport.
