Reissue US, UK, Canada visas in stolen passports
My bag was stolen with my 3 Pakistani passports having US, UK & Canada visas. Can anyone guide me how to get the visas back, on my new passports?
Best Answer
This answer assumes you are not in any of the three countries mentioned.
US: To replace a visa from outside the USA, you must apply in person at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad. When applying for the replacement of a visa, you will need to provide a written account documenting the loss of your passport and visa. Include a copy of the police report. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/lost-stolen-visas.html
UK: You need to apply for a replacement using transfer of conditions. A police report or other evidence that satisfactorily establishes that the passport is no longer in your possession is required. https://www.gov.uk/transfer-visa
Canada: it looks as if you can’t replace a lost or stolen visa from outside Canada. You will need to apply for a new visa. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=044&top=12
