Bonjour à tous!
comme les messages sur ce thème datent un peu,
je repose la question pour savoir quels documents doit m'envoyer mon hôte gabonais ?
Estce qu'une invitation suffit ou bien faut-il toujours un bulletin de salaire, une attestation d'hébergement signée etc....
merci beaucoup de votre aide!!
je n'arrive pas à trouver sur le net....

Je compte me rendre aussi a Libreville en juillet. Je me suis rensengné au consulat à Rotterdam et a l'ambassade.
Pour la demande de visa (touriste) il te faut une autorisation d'entrée faite par ton hôte. Pour cela il te faudra lui envoyer 2 photos d'identité, la copie des 3 premières pages de ton passeport et 45.000 FCFA.
Pour plus de renseignement, prends contact avec la DGDI à Libreville. (http://www.dgdi.ga/autorisation/index.html)
Bonjour regarde ca ... Le dossier complet doit être constitué des pièces suivantes :
• 1 passeport en cours de validité (6 mois au minimum) ;
• 1 formulaire de demande de visa dûment rempli ;
• 1 photo d’identité en couleur ;
• 1 copie du billet d’avion aller/retour ;
• 1copie du passeport (page de validité) ;
• 1 copie du certificat international de vaccination (le vaccin contre la fièvre jaune est
obligatoire) ;
• 1 justificatif de l’activité professionnelle (carte d’identité, carte professionnelle…) ;
• L’original et une copie du certificat d’hébergement délivré par une mairie gabonaise
(l’hébergeant doit fournir à son invité une copie de sa pièce d’identité et ses trois derniers
bulletins de salaire) ; ou l’original d’une autorisation d’entrée délivrée par la Direction
Générale de la Documentation et de l’Immigration ; ou l’original d’une réservation d’hôtel y
compris l’original de la facture de paiement des nuitées ;
• 1 attestation d’assurance couvrant les frais médicaux et de rapatriement ;
• 1 justificatif de moyens d’existence pour la durée de séjour (carte bancaire, chèque de
voyage…) ;
• 55 euros de frais de chancellerie en espèces ou 110 euros pour un visa en urgence. En cas de
refus, les frais encaissés ne sont pas remboursés;
• 1 copie du titre de séjour en France (sauf pour les ressortissants de l’UE)
Observation : Les personnes ayant la double nationalité française et gabonaise doivent fournir une
attestation sur l’honneur indiquant qu’elles vont rendre visite à leurs familles au Gabon. Pour cela,
elles doivent produire une copie de leur passeport gabonais ou l’original de l’acte de naissance.
Horaires :
Dépôt des dossiers : de 9 heures à 11 h 30 de lundi à jeudi ;
Retrait des visas : de 16 heures à 17 h 30 de lundi à jeudi
Délai normal : 3 jours ; délai express : 24 heures
Tout d'abord merci pour les précieux renseignements que les uns et les autres apportent ici.
J'ai moi-même quelques questions en vue de l'obtention d'un visa touristique pour le Gabon. Plus exactement, j'aimerais faire le point sur les diverses procédures actuellement en vigueur et obtenir quelques confirmations. Je dois me rendre courant août 2010 à Libreville, dans la famille de mon amie, pour une quinzaine de jours.
En effet, en parcourant le web, et entre autre ce forum, il m'apparaît que les choses ont pu bouger ces derniers temps et j'aimerais être clairement fixé, car je suis quelqu'un d'organisé et d'assez anxieux par nature. J'aimerais donc avoir la certitude d'obtenir ledit visa et ne pas me faire refouler (que ce soit à l'aéroport en France ou à Libreville).
Si j'ai bien saisi, dans ma situation, il y aurait donc deux, voire trois procédures différentes :
1) L'obtention d'un visa auprès du Consulat Général du Gabon à Paris avec certificat d'hébergement ;
2) L'obtention d'un visa auprès du Consulat Général du Gabon à Paris avec autorisation d’entrée délivrée par la Direction Générale de la Documentation et de l’Immigration (aussi appelé CEDOC) ;
3) L'obtention d'un visa directement auprès du service des douanes de l'aéroport de Libreville avec autorisation d’entrée délivrée par la Direction Générale de la Documentation et de l’Immigration (aussi appelé CEDOC).
Quelqu'un peut-il me confirmer que ces trois options sont possibles ?
En l'espèce, ma " famille d'accueil " a obtenu pour moi une autorisation d’entrée auprès du CEDOC et doit me la faire parvenir.
Ce document me dispense-t-il bien du certificat d’hébergement délivré par la mairie de Libreville ? J'ai lu sur ce forum que quelqu'un conseillait de l'obtenir en plus.
L'autorisation d'entrée me dispense-t-elle d'obtenir de mon " hébergeant " une copie de sa pièce d’identité et de ses trois derniers bulletins de salaire, ou bien les faut-il malgré tout ? (Je crois savoir que ces pièces ont déjà été fournies par mon " hébergeant " pour obtenir l'autorisation d'entrée, mais peut être m'en faut-il copie également ?).
Je pense avoir réuni l'ensemble des autres pièces nécessaires, en dehors de l'attestation d’assurance couvrant les frais médicaux et de rapatriement, dont il faut que je m'enquière. A ce sujet, faut-il souscrire une assurance particulière, ou bien une assurance classique " frais médicaux + rapatriement " classique comprise avec certaines cartes bancaires ou certains assureurs mutualistes (type macif) suffit ?
Enfin, dans ma situation, quelle procédure de visa favoriser ? L'obtention à Paris ou directement à Libreville ?
Merci d'avance à celles et/ou ceux qui pourront éclairer ma lanterne.
bonjour si tu ah reçus ton invitation d ébergement sa veut dire que ton hôte ah fourni toute les pièce justificative toi tu na ka présenté ta photocopie débergement ou original ton passport carnet de vaccination billlet aller retour etc etc
Est ce que quelqu'un aurait les documents à fournir au consulat pour obtenir un Visa touristique?! J'ai essayé de trouver le site du consulat mais c'est peine…
Après avoir contacté pas mal de monde et reçu pas mal d'informations contradictoires je voulais savoir si quelqu'un pouvait me renseigner sur certains…
Can anyone tell me exactly if a passport "valid for the duration of the stay" is enough, or does it need to be valid for 6 months after the trip?
I checked the embassy’s website, but that info is missing.
Bonjour
J'arriverai à Seoul le 18 novembre apres avoir passé un petit mois en Inde.
Savez vous si j'aurai des documents supplementaires à remplir en dehors de la e arrival card?
Par avance merci pour vos conseils.
Hi everyone,
I have to leave for Perth, Australia in a week, for 7 days, and I couldn’t get my international driver’s permit due to processing and delivery delays.
The information I’ve found about whether an international permit is required is contradictory. Some sources say you need one, others say you don’t.
Could anyone let me know if an international driver’s permit is necessary to rent a car in Australia (Perth), or if a French license is enough for a 7-day rental?
I’m a bit embarrassed because I need to travel to Quebec from February 27th to March 13th. I’m a regular visitor to Canada—this will be my 10th trip since 1997, plus a year as a permanent resident (2000–2001) and a cross-country run from Vancouver to Halifax in 2011. So, I’m definitely not a terrorist!
But since our last trip in July 2015, they’ve introduced this eTA thing. Seems more like a way to make money than to actually secure Canada, if you ask me, but anyway, that’s not the point.
I applied for an eTA for myself, my wife, and our two kids. They all got approved within hours, but not me! I was asked to create a GC key and then an IRCC account, which I did. Normally, you get news within 72 hours, but since Monday, January 15th, nothing!
In the "message" section of the account, it says "explanation letter (required)" with a deadline of January 25th, but I can’t find any explanation anywhere—despite searching the Canadian government website and Google. No links, nothing!
I’ve emailed them but haven’t heard back yet. I’m thinking of calling the Canadian embassy in Paris tomorrow. Even though I’m not stressing yet, it’d be a bummer if everyone else got to go without me!
If anyone’s had this issue before or knows what this explanation letter is about, I’d love to hear more.
hi there
I’m heading to Seoul in September, and to do that I need to get a travel authorization that we apply for through K-ETA....... turns out I can (barely, I admit) fill out the form up to the address of our "stay location," but every address I’ve entered has been rejected by the system. I’ve tried my hotel, the Lotte Hotel (which is well-known in Seoul), the airport—basically, I’ve entered at least 20 addresses, all rejected....
So, to anyone who’s successfully gotten the authorization, could you tell me which address you used to get that "elusive" approval?...
Question for those who’ve done it:
In theory (French national), I’m visa-exempt for a 30-day tourist stay, but on France Diplomatie it says on this page
Hi there,
I know there are similar topics here and elsewhere, but they’re a few years old, and I need an up-to-date answer to make sure I don’t throw over 1000 € out the window. Thanks for your patience.
I’m planning a trip from France to Alberta/British Columbia, and I’m unsure about which bank card to use for the security deposit with the rental company (I’m thinking of going with AVIS).
I contacted Avis Canada, and they told me a credit card is absolutely required. I asked my bank for a credit card (a *real* credit card), but they only offered me a deferred debit card.
My question: For a rental with Avis Canada, is a Gold International Mastercard deferred debit card usable for the security deposit needed to finalize the rental? Is the "CREDIT" label enough? (Some cards say "CREDIT" and others say "CARTE DE CREDIT"—seems minor, but it’s actually a big deal in how the card works.)
I’ve seen conflicting info everywhere I look... My bank says it’s *usually* okay (the deferred debit card), while Avis Canada insists it *must* be a credit card, not debit—even when I mention the deferred debit card.
I know the whole credit card concept is already confusing, and on top of that, some sites say a deferred debit card counts as a credit card, while others say it doesn’t.
Thanks to anyone who can share a recent experience!
Have a great day
Hi there,
I’m heading to Senegal in January for a month and was wondering if I just need my French driver’s license or if I should get an international permit?
Thanks!

Hi,
I’m bringing Seresta, an anxiolytic (tranquilizer) from the benzodiazepine family,
to help me sleep.
I’ll have the prescription with me.
Will this be a problem at customs, and do I need to declare it?
Same question for antibiotics?
Thanks a bunch!
I’m heading to Laos next spring, but I have a question about the Thai arrival/departure form. I’ll be flying PAR-BKK, then taking the train to Laos (so exiting Thailand), and later re-entering Thailand by train to catch my return flight. Do I need to fill out two forms in this case?
Hi there,
I have a 9-seater passenger vehicle that I use for my business in Paris, transporting people.
I’m planning to go to Algeria with my family.
The vehicle registration lists my company as the owner.
Can I get a TPD (Temporary Admission Document)?
Will I need a KBis extract or a power of attorney?!?
Thanks for your help.
Worst case, I can add my personal name as a co-owner on the registration, but that would be a real shame!
Hi,
I’m writing to ask for some info—I’ve heard that you **must** have travel insurance to land in Zanzibar.
What’s the process, and which insurance should I get?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Best,

Hi, are there any travelers who’ve recently crossed the border between Karakalpakstan (Uzbekistan) and Beineu in Kazakhstan?
It was closed for a while.
Thanks for any info!
I bought a one-way flight (Ryanair) and a return flight (EasyJet) to spend a week in Morocco in April.
My passport expires 3 weeks after the return date.
Some websites say the passport must be valid for 3 months at the time of entry.
However, it will still be valid both on entry and return, but its validity will only be 1 month at the time of entry (and 3 weeks on the return date, everything prepaid).
It's an individual family trip.
The consulate can't give me an answer—they're still looking into it (really!)
Last year, we stayed for 3 months in Thailand, north of Khao Lak, and were able to benefit from the 2-month visa exemption, renewable for one month by going to Takua Pa to validate a 1-month extension (1,900 baht).
This year, it’s a disaster for us—not only were we planning a 4-month stay, adding a visa run in between (which some say is quite risky), but the law is apparently changing in the coming months with the return of the 1-month exemption (plus the usual 1-month option). So, we looked into applying for a 6-month multiple-entry visa, allowing a maximum of 60 consecutive days in Thailand. However, I can’t find anywhere the minimum time required outside Thailand between two stays—do any of you have an idea?
Thanks for the info! If you’d like tips on Khao Lak and the surrounding areas, we’ve got some experience, though things change fast!
Cheers,
Bruno.
My partner, our 8-year-old daughter, and I are going on vacation to Gex.
We’ve decided to spend one day in Switzerland and another in Italy. Will we need ID (national ID card or passport)? Do we also need ID for our daughter?
Hello,
We’ll soon be moving to Madagascar long-term.
As a French national, I need to obtain a short-stay visa that can be converted to a long-stay one. To do this, I have to send the required documents to the Madagascar embassy in Paris.
No issues with that procedure so far.
If I get this visa, once I arrive in Madagascar, I’ll need to provide the same documents to the Ministry of the Interior in Anosy. I’m trying to find an email address or website for the Ministry to check which documents I need to submit (I think they ask for additional ones).
If you have any info on this, I’d appreciate your replies.
Best regards,
M. Buisson Eric
I’d like to know if anyone has already applied for a private visa to Russia with an invitation from a Russian resident.
I traveled earlier this year with an e-visa, but since I want to stay longer, I’ll be visiting my friend who lives in eastern Russia.
For the visa application, does the invitation need to be on an official paper form issued by the Russian ministry? And most importantly, do I need to present the original for the application, or is there an electronic version that can be sent directly to the consulate in France?
Thanks for any info if you’ve gone through this process before!
I filled out the B2 form to apply for a visa, created an account on Atvis to pay the visa fees and schedule a meet-up, but every time I try to pay with my Boursobank Visa 1st card, they refuse the payment with a message telling me to check my details (address), even though everything is correct. Does anyone know why this is happening, or maybe they don’t accept Visa cards? Are you aware of this?
Thanks for your feedback!
Elisabeth
There are rumors going around about the ETA: it must absolutely be on your smartphone in the "ETA" app.
Paper documents might not be accepted.
Is this real or just a hoax?
Thanks, I’m leaving in 3 weeks. My passport is good to go and my ETA is still valid for a year, but I only printed the email I received.
Thanks everyone.
Hi there,
We need to apply for a B2 visa because we visited Iran in 2018. It currently costs $185, but they’re planning an additional $250 fee per person for the same visa—it’s been approved but not yet implemented. Does anyone know when this fee will take effect?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
In November, we're heading off on a 4-month trip. We'll be landing in China and plan to leave the country via a land border into Vietnam.
I’ve read that China may ask for proof of exit within 30 days (flight ticket or other reservation). Since we’d be leaving by land, I’m wondering how this works in practice.
Has anyone here been in this situation recently?
Did the airline ask for an exit ticket before boarding?
Did Chinese authorities require proof upon arrival?
Is a train/bus ticket to Vietnam sufficient?
Is a cancelable or flexible reservation accepted?
Hi there,
Just a question that’s probably been asked before (though usually the other way around for my situation :))
My wife and I are heading to the US.
On her ticket, it only has her maiden name (e.g., Martine DUPOND).
On her passport, it’s written as Martine DUPOND épouse AVRY.
No issues for travel, I hope I did the right thing with the ticket?
Then for the ESTA, is just Martine DUPOND enough, or do I need to include the "épouse AVRY" part like on the passport?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I’m spending a few days in San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) and would like to cross the Argentine border to make a loop toward Salta and then return to Chile to drop off the rental car.
I’ve heard that crossing the border can be tricky!
Is it possible with a rental company’s authorization? Which company, and at what cost?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Best regards,
Arnale
I saw on the French Embassy in Peru’s website and the Peruvian Consulate in Paris’s site that the rule is to have a passport valid for 6 months *after the arrival date* (not the return date).
I arrive in Peru on August 13, 2019 (for about twelve days), and my passport is valid until February 16, 2020.
That’s 6 months and 3 days after my arrival date in Peru. In my opinion, I’m good to go.
But could I still be denied entry if they say I don’t cover the return date or that I’m too close to the 6-month mark?
I read on the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs website that it’s possible to apply for a temporary driving permit in China, valid for 1 month.
I’m planning to rent a car (without a driver) to explore part of the country next August, so I was wondering:
Has anyone here already gone through this process upon arrival?
How long do the formalities take on the spot?
Is it possible to handle these steps in advance, before arriving in China?
Hi there,
My departure is slowly approaching, and now that I’ve got my Russian visa sorted, I’m fine-tuning the rest of my trip to Tajikistan. Since the Tajik visa is no longer required for stays under 30 days (for French nationals), I’ll need to visit the Ministry of Interior (OVIR) to register within 10 days of entering the country. No big deal, though, since I had to go there anyway to apply for my GBAO permit. 😉 However, I’ve *seen* several reports from travelers (mostly motorized) mentioning that you need an entry permit for Kyrgyzstan, which has to be arranged in advance at the Kyrgyz Ministry (consulate?) in Dushanbe. Otherwise, you’re *stuck* at the Kyzyl-Art border (with no Wi-Fi, of course, to try and sort it out). The most recent report was from a year ago, so I’d love to know if this is still the case and if it’s indeed at the Kyrgyz Ministry (consulate?) where you need to go for this pre-authorization.
Does anyone have any recent info on this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone.
I’m leaving for almost 3 months in the Philippines (11 weeks total) starting in early May.
I already have my round-trip ticket.
The problem is, I don’t have time to get a 2-month visa because the process takes nearly a month.
From what I’ve read here and there, I need a return ticket valid for less than a month when I arrive in the Philippines to prove my good faith.
After that, I can apply for a 30-day extension at the immigration office.
I’m planning to either buy a fully refundable ticket to the nearest country or a fake ticket.
For 3 months, I’ll need to extend my visa two more times before my return date to France.
My question is this:
Will immigration ask me each time I extend my visa by one month to show proof of an exit ticket matching the new visa extension date?
Is it possible to extend directly by 2 months before the initial 30 days expire?
Thanks in advance for your experiences and tips! 😊
