Narrative:

The approach plate into hts (ILS 12) changed from 1;800 RVR/three quarter mile visibility; required for our approach; to 5;000 RVR/one mile. Our commercial charts on board showed the 1;800 RVR. Our electronic flight bag showed 5;000 RVR/one mile; but no effective date for this change on the chart. We called dispatcher through sat phone and requested clarification of approach chart date of currency. Received the 1;800 RVR/three quarter mile required as the valid chart. Non-event to ILS 12 landing and termination of flight. After crew rest; reviewed all information and discovered that on the day of the flight the valid chart was the 5;000 RVR/one mile required for approach into hts. At the time of approach; reported conditions were one mile; light sn fg; approach lighting system OTS runway 12. This required an addition of one quarter mile visibility to our minimums. We needed one and one quarter mile visibility for a legal approach. We only had one mile. Four chart resources were used in this evolution from preflight to termination of flight. Only one current chart was the efb with no effective date displayed. No safety of flight concerns with this event by flight crew; but legality of approach used compromised by revision on date of event and an inoperative approach lighting system.
