bonjour,
J'ai fait faire mon e-visa il y a un mois. accepté. Je viens de me rendre compte que j'ai indiqué Jaipur comme ville d'arrivée alors que, bien sûr il faut d'abord passer par Delhi. Est-ce que je dois redemander un e-visa avec Delhi ou est-ce que ce n'est pas important. ? J'ai bien vérifié toutes les autres questions. merci pour vos conseils.

bonsoir
pas d'inquietude le nom de la ville d'arrivée n'a aucune importance.
bon voyage.

D'autant moins important que le e-visa est valable pour deux entrées et que la première n'est pas forcément la même que la seconde...
En plus, la ville d'arrivée n'est même pas indiquée sur le e-visa ^^
pardonnez moi mais l'intitulé du e-visa est le suivant : Jaipur airport, e-visa, enabled by ETA, e-visa application form, s'ensuit la photo et tout le laïus.
merci pour votre réponse. Je pense que vous devez avoir l'habitude !
L'année dernière, la ville d'arrivée ne figurait pas sur le e-visa (texte intégral ci-dessous), mais il faut croire que ça a dû changer depuis, si c'est indiqué sur le vôtre...

voici les nouveau changements sur les e-visa. validité une année, entrées multiples, chaque séjour limité à 90 jours (attention, ce ne sont pas 3 mois!) une baisse du prix est prévue.
trouvez l'article ici.
prenons soins de la terre pour le futur des prochaines générations!
Voilà une nouvelle qu'elle est bonne ^^
Bonjour,
C'est plutot un bonne nouvelle tout ca.
Je me permets de déterrer cette conversation car après une recherche sur le forum, je n'ai pas trouvé de réponse à ma question.
Je prévois d'aller en inde en juillet ( çà sera mon pays de retour pour la france ) après un périple en asie.
Je n'ai malheureusement pas encore pris mes billets car je ne sais exactement quand m'y rendre mais j'aurai tout de même souhaité prendre les e-visa avant de partir de france. Est-ce que le "expected date of arrival" est juste une date à partir de laquelle on peut arriver en Inde? De même si l'aeroport d'arrivée est importante?
Merci d'avance pour votre aide

Bonjour,
Le e-visa doit être demandé :
entre 4 et 120 jours avant la date de première entrée. https://www.tripsavvy.com/india-e-tourist-visa-information-1539765
Ensuite, il est valable un an à partir de la date de délivrance, et chaque séjour ne doit pas dépasser 90 jours.
expected date of arrival, c'est la date approximative d'arrivée, qui peut être bien évidemment modifiée.
De toute façon, cette information n'est pas reprise sur l'e-visa qui oblige à entrer en Inde entre la date d'approbation et la même date + 120 jours.
Par exemple, demande d'e-visa le 22 juillet pour une arrivée en Inde le 1er septembre. L'e-visa sera accordé le 24 juillet, pour une première entrée comprise entre le 24 juillet (date d'approbation) et le 20 octobre (120 jours plus tard). Donc on peut arriver le 15 septembre, même le 1er octobre ou le 15, mais pas le 1er novembre.
S'il y a un risque de dérive, il suffit de ne pas le demander trop tôt...

Bonjour,
Depuis mi-mars 2019 avec la mise en service du nouveau E-visa les règles ont changées : Sa validité est maintenant de 365 jours à compter de sa date d'obtention "Granted".
Il est également Multi-entrées : chaque séjour est possible pour une durée maxi de 90 jours.
Donc, par exemple pour une demande d'e-visa le 22 juillet, L'e-visa sera normalement accordé "Granted" entre le 23 et le 24 juillet, comme auparavant.
Il sera donc utilisable pour une première entrée en Inde à compter de sa "Date of issue of ETA" (par exemple le 23 ou 24 juillet 2019), mais vous pourrez y entrer également bien plus tard les mois suivants : août-septembre-octobre-novembre-décembre 2019 et janvier-février-mars-avril-mai-juin 2020.
La date d'arrivée "expected date of arrival" que vous avez renseignée sur le formulaire de demande du e-visa n'est pas imposée.
Ok je comprend bien ma date of issus est pour le 21 mai. Donc à partir de là je peux y aller pendant 1 an.
Mais ce qui me dérange c que sur le e-visa c bien marqué journey date 27/06/2019 mais je ne pourrai y aller que le 27/07/2019
Mais pour vous pas de problème même dis c la première fois :)
Merci

Vous parlez du e-visa et que c'est bien marqué journey date 27/06/2019. Question : Avez-vous bien imprimé votre "ETA" (Electronic Travel Authorization) ? Qui est le seul document avec votre passeport à présenter à la compagnie aérienne le jour de votre départ et aux autorités à l'immigration indienne le jour de votre arrivée en Inde. Sur le "ETA", je ne vois pas indiqué "Expected Date of Arrival"... à moins que ce soit nouveau !

Oui j’ai bien imprimé le document avec la photo imprimée dessus et où il faut remettre une photo et sur ce document il est juste marqué journey date 27/06/19 que je ne pourrai respecter que le 27/07/19.
Sur l’ETA reçu par mail c marqué granted à partir du 21 may donc là aucun problème .

Le seul document nécessaire pour entrer en Inde, c'est l'ETA, à savoir ça :

Si l'e-visa a été granted le 21 mai, la première entrée doit impérativement avoir lieu avant le 17 septembre (c'est écrit sur l'ETA), donc 27 juillet, aucun problème.

Bonjour,
Je viens de voir votre question concernant l'erreur de ville d'arrivée sur votre E-Visa... Je pars en Inde fin janvier et j'ai fait la même bêtise mais pour la ville de retour. Je voulais donc savoir comment ça s'est passé pour vous? Avez-vous rencontré des problèmes aux douanes? Merci beaucoup pour votre aide! Axelle

bonjour, je viens de voir le mail de VoyageForum, donc je vais tâcher de vous parler de mon expérience. C'est vrai que j'ai vraiment eu peur d'avoir fait une gaffe en écrivant un nom de ville différent de celui de l'atterrissage en Inde. Malgré la réponse destressante que l'on m'a faite ici même, je n'en menais pas large. En fait, ça n'avait aucune importance visiblement. Le visa, la photo, payer son visa et ça marche comme sur des roulettes. Evitez juste de vous tromper d'orthographe en écrivant les noms etc....Relisez plusieurs fois les documents remplis. C'est préférable on m'a dit. A Francfort, un jeune homme tatillon nous a demandé nos visas avec nos passeports puis il nous a tout rendu, sans problème. En Inde, aucun problème. Je sais juste que la prochaine fois, je ne passerai pas par New Dehli. 9h d'attente pour rien, peu de compréhension de la part des personnels au sol (bien sûr, il y avait en même temps, l'arrêt de la compagnie aérienne indienne..). Je ne sais pas s'ils ont vraiment peur qu'on devienne immigrés clandestins mais , en ce qui me concerne, il n'y a aucune chance. Un grand pays, j'ai aimé beaucoup de choses et de gens et detesté d'autres.
Voilà. Bon voyage, tout va bien se passer.

Hi everyone,
I’ll explain my situation.
Unfortunately, I lost my passport, and I only realized it two weeks before my departure for a humanitarian mission in Libya. I’m a nurse, and this mission really means a lot to me.
First, I applied for an emergency passport, but it was denied by the Val-d'Oise prefecture on the grounds that a planned humanitarian mission wasn’t considered an urgent reason.
So, I submitted a biometric passport application on July 20th. Since then, the tracking has been stuck, and the town hall can’t (or won’t) give me any clear information. Every time I call, I get a different story. The last update I received was that the passport had been produced since July 23rd with a status of "about to be shipped," but nothing since then.
I’ve managed to push my departure back to next Tuesday at the latest, but I’m starting to really panic.
Have any of you submitted an application around July 20th, especially in Val-d'Oise (95)? How long did you wait between the passport being produced and it being available at the town hall? Is it normal for this step to take this long?
This mission means so much to me. I had everything organized, and I’m also supposed to attend a friend’s wedding right after near the border.
Thanks so much to those who take the time to respond or share their experience. 😔
Hi,
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.

I’ll be arriving in Seoul on November 18th after spending about a month in India.
Do you know if I’ll need to fill out any additional documents besides the e-arrival card?
Thanks in advance for your tips!
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?
Thanks in advance for your advice

Hi everyone,
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?...
Thanks for your help

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
https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/information-par-pays/mongolie/conseils-aux-voyageurs-entree-sejour
that a visa is still required if you’re coming from Mongolia. True or false? And if true, what’s the process? Thanks

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 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.

Will I need a KBis extract or a power of attorney?!?

Worst case, I can add my personal name as a co-owner on the registration, but that would be a real shame!

Hi there,
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!)
Will Ryanair let me board in Beauvais in 3 weeks?
Thanks for your advice—this is a bit urgent 😕😕😕😕

Hello,
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.
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.

Hi there,
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?
Thanks so much for your answers! 🙂

Hi everyone,
Some French friends are visiting NYC (4/5 days around mid-May) from Montreal, Canada. They’ve got their eTA and ESTA approved!
Round-trip transport by bus.
Question: Is the I-94 form required, mandatory, and should it be filled out on the bus or in advance???
Thanks for your RECENT experiences!
See you, Jean.

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,

Hi there,
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!
Best regards,
Gilles

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!

Hi,
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?
Thanks for sharing your experiences! 😊

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!

Hi everyone,
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?
Thanks for your feedback.

Hi there,
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?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi
Has anyone been to Rwanda recently and gotten a 3-month visa on arrival easily?
Thanks
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!
