 |
|
I was just curious, with a current E-2 visa, do I have to go for a visa run in order to re-apply for the visa or can I just show up with my alien registration card and they can re-issue the visa on the spot? I looked around and was unable to find any answers to this question so any help would be greatly appreciated. Especially if there is any specific process involved.
Thanks. |

| If you have a lost or stolen visa, you have 2 weeks, I believe, to go to immigration to get a visa. I'm pretty sure you don't need anything except you ARC and new passport, but I remember reading on the forum that it's two weeks from the date of issue and not the date you receive the passport. If you're late, I believe you would get fined. |

a) Lost passport and still have your ARC?
b) Lost passport and NO ARC yet?
IF "a" then:
1) Go to the police, file a report for a lost passport (you need this to get a replacement).
2) Go to YOUR embassy ( jump through hoops and get frustrated ) and get a replacement passport.
3) WHEN you receive your new passport, go to immigration and report the CHANGE of passport.
4) get your re-entry stamp placed into your new passport (if you had one).
Done like dinner.
IF "b" then:
1) police report,
2) replace passport
3) Go to immigration and get an ARC.
