Will name change affect Brazilian visa (or passport in general)?
I recently got married. My wife, who will be changing her last name soon, has a Brazilian visa in her American passport from when she went in 2011 and I am under the impression that the visa is good for the duration of the passport (which doesn't expire until like 2019 or so).
I'm wondering if she changes her name, will that cause her to have to get a new passport and lose the visa? We are considering going to the World Cup next year, partially because she already has the visa anyway, so I want to make sure we don't screw up anything and lose it just because of a stupid name change.
