Crazy question, but passport before visa?

[Alltherightreasons]

Ok, so ill admit, im blonde, and ive never done the travelling thing before. So do i need to get my passport before aplying for the visa?

Where are you heading to??? i did a few searches yesterday for flying to places like Brazil and Russia and they say you have to send or present your passport to the embassy before they will issue a visa... so think u tend to need the passport first..

Yes you need your passport first

You must have your passport first, as your visa is usually stamped or attached to your passport.
Depending which country you are travelling to, you may have to post or courier your passport to the appropriate embassy or consulate office for the visa

Even if you dont need a physical visa (such as under the visa waiver program to the US) you will still need your passport information before you can apply for whatever visa/visa substitute you need.

just an adds up. Here is our country, you'll need a passport before getting a visa.

Actually Australians get a visa on arrival in MNL so you only need to have a passport to board the plane.

Everywhere else where you actually do need a visa then yes you do need to have the passport before applying.

Not arguing with you. But technically in both cases you need a passport before you get a visa.
