  • More information will be required, including your husband's citizenship and to where you want to travel, and the nature of the visa. – Jim MacKenzie Jul 23 '18 at 20:06

    It's not clear to me why you're concerned about an expired passport with an expired visa in it. Neither of these things are useful. You need an unexpired passport and an unexpired visa. – brhans Jul 23 '18 at 20:14
  • You don't say which country, but if you wanted to argue that they gave you a visa before, so they should give you a visa again, then most countries will be keeping track and know that you had a visa. – gnasher729 Jul 23 '18 at 20:42
  • Are you asking how to find the passport number for inclusion in a new/current visa application? – Giorgio Jul 23 '18 at 20:59
  • @brhans But to be clear, you can, depending on the country, use an expired passport containing an unexpired visa, along with an unexpired passport, i.e. two separate books. – user71659 Jul 23 '18 at 21:00
  • @user71659 - yes this is true, but irrelevant. The OP specifically writes "no visa to show" & "our visa is expired" - so there is apparently no unexpired visa in play here. – brhans Jul 23 '18 at 21:02
  • @brhans I agree, the question required me to read it a few times to understand. The pieces of information are a bit scattered. – user71659 Jul 23 '18 at 21:03
  • @brhans perhaps they want (or have been told) to submit the old passport and visa as evidence to support the application for a new visa. – phoog Jul 23 '18 at 21:33
  • @phoog yes perhaps that is the case - but it's not expressed in the question. The OP should clarify what they think the problem is. – brhans Jul 23 '18 at 22:02

    @brhans I agree. I would vote to reopen the question if it were edited to explain why the expired visa or expired passport is thought to be needed. As it is, I would leave the question closed. – phoog Jul 23 '18 at 22:03

Although you don't say which country you are from, or where you want to travel to, the procedures are pretty much the same whatever the answer.

  1. Apply for a new passport
  2. When you receive it apply for a new visa.
  3. When you receive the new visa use it to travel.

If by some chance you are in a country without a valid visa for it, then still apply for a new passport through your country's embassy, and then leave back to your home country and apply for a new visa there.
