    "one expired with a valid visa" isn't the visa expiring with the passport?

    @Surb, it is quite common for some kind of visa to extend beyond the valid period of the passport. Some countries allow for 10 year multiple entry visa which are given when the passport has a lot less than 10 years left. You use those by showing both old and current passport together.

You use the passport number of the valid unexpired passport. The passport is the premier travel document. The expired passport is carried along just to provide evidence of the previously issued valid visa

Extensive personal experience with similar scenario while visiting different countries.
