Do You Need a Visa to Travel to Brazil?
April 10th, 2024Yellow Fever Vaccinations and Travel Visas
December 4th, 2010
If you're traveling overseas to a country that requires visas for US citizens, you may need to make a doctor's appointment before applying for your travel visa. That's because some countries require that you submit proof you've been vaccinated for yellow fever along with your visa application.

The answer depends on the type of visa in question and the country that issued it. However, in most cases, you can use a valid visa even if your passport is expired. You do need to renew your passport, though.
