bonjour,
Je suis une Marocaine agée de 24 ans .
Je fréquente un français qui habite à Paris depuis plus d'une annee .Pour qu'on se voit c'est toujours lui qui vient passer des weekends au Maroc.Maintenant il est grand temps que ça soit moi qui aille le voir chez lui .
Ma situation est un peu compliquée ; Je veux vraiment obtenir ce visa, c'est important pour moi, je veux sauver mon couple car mon ami en a marre de cette relation a distance .Je demande votre aide et vos conseils .
Je me suis bien renseignée sur l'obtention des visas schengen . Il est clair qui'il faut avoir un compte en bank assez rempli, une situation au Maroc qui poussera la personne à revenir, une assurance, un certificat d'hebergement ext ext ...
1/ Dèja en ce qui concerne le certificat d'hebergement, une collegue m'a dit que vu que je suis jeune, celibataire (pas mariée), et que j'ai jamais quitté le Maroc, il vaut mieux que je ne presente pas ce document là, car au consulat, ils vont croire que je vais tout faire pour rester chez mon ami, et ne pa revenir au Maroc.Le mieux serait de faire une reservation dans un hotel, et loger quand meme chez lui. Qu'en pensez vous ? A t'elle raison ? Pourtant on m'a dit que ce certificat là augmente mes chances d'obtenir le visa.
2/ J'habite en colocation, je n'ai pa de biens ici au Maroc, j'ai fini mes etudes ça fait quelques mois, j'ai trouvé un petit boulot qui me permet "uniquement" de ne pas demander de l'argent à mes parents, donc vous comprendrez facilement qu'à la fin de chaque mois je me retrouve avec un compte bancaire vide.Mon ami peut se porter garant en ce qui concerne mes frais de sejour laba. mais est ce que cela suffit ?
3/ J'ai travaillé d'Aout 2007 à Mai 2008 chez une petite société, et là j'ai changé, je suis depuis moins d'un mois chez mon nouvel employeur.Mais je peux avoir 2 attestations de travail.Est ce que cela voudra dire pour le consulat que ma situation professionelle n'est pas stable ?
4/Pour l'assurance, j'ai beau lire beaucoup d'articles mais j'ai toujours pas compris.ils parlent d'un montant de 30000dh ! est ce que c'est moi qui doit presenter cette somme la ou est ce que c'est l'assurance qui se porte garante pour la rembourser ? et puis j'ai lu que c'est une assurance que je dois souscrire pour minimum un mois, alors que moi je veux aller a paris pour un weekend/ trimestre.
Eclairez moi SVP, je suis perdue, montrez moi ce qu'il faut ou ne faut pas faire, passez moi des astuces, bref, aidez moi pour que je garde mon homme et que je sauve mon couple .
merci bcq !
Salut Jahouna
La seule solution c'est le mariage.
Soit au Maroc, soit demander un visa pour mariage en France.
L'attestation d'accueil pour un week end !!!, il vaut mieux ne pas y penser du tout.
Pour l'assurance, les 30000€ minimum, c'est la couverture des soins et rapatriement, l'assurance en elle même, son coût ne dépasse pas les 50€.
fayd
Merci Fayd pr ta reponse, mais pr le mariage, faut qu'on multiplie les rencontres, c'est pour ça que je dois aller laba ossi !! c'est justement pour savoir si on est faits l'un pour l'autre.On ne veut pas d'un mariage raté, on prend notre temps .
donc si j comprends bien si je veux aler chez lui un weekend comme lui il fait pour venir au Maroc, c'est mission impossible ?
Salut Jahouna
Tu as tout à fait raison d'attendre avant de se décider pour le mariage, il faut que ton ami garde toutes les preuves de ses multiples voyages au Maroc, car elles serviront de preuve de fréquentation assidue pour le CCM.
Le mieux, c'est d'attendre quelques temps pour avoir un job stable, et par la suite demander un visa touristique d'un mois, avec titre de congé à l'appui.
Bonne chance
fayd
qui ne risque rien n'a rien ;) !! c'est vrai que je devrai quand meme essayer, si ma demande de visa est refusée, ben ptet que je devrai me faire à l'idée que entre moi et mon parisien ça devra se terminer !! mais sinon y'a pa d'astuces ou de trucs a faire ?
la CCM c quoi ? je lui ai meme demandé de garder une copie de ses factures telephoniques (trop chere dayeur), et meme de demander a son fournisseur, les details des appels !! mais pour moi le mariage c'est encore loin je dirai.
Mais pour le visa je fais quoiiiiiiiiii ?
Salut Jahouna
Le CCM c'est le certif de capacité au mariage, mais ce sera pour plutard.
Pour le visa, tu vas jeter l'équivalent de 60€ par la fenetre, car les frais de visa ne sont pas remboursés
et tu seras en même temps fichée.
Je viens de recevoir un message de refus de visa pour un marocain bien que tout le monde croyait que tout était en règle.
fayd
j'en connais beacoup qui ont une situation qui leur permet justement d'avoir un visa, mais il leur a été refusé.... Apparement c'est une question de hasard et de chance.On m'a dit qui'il n y'a pas vraiment d'etude approfondie au niveau du consulat.... Si c'est ça, c'est vraiment malheureux mais surtout, injuste... !!
Si quelqu'un qui bosse au consulat lit ce message, je veux seulement que vous sachiez que je veux passer un weekend à Paris et revenir dans mon pays ... c'est tout !!! 😎😉😄
tu n'as aucunes chances d'obtenir un visa au vue de ton dossier.
le mieux c'est que ton copain fasse les aller-retour. si il ne le fait pas ca ne sert a rien de courir derriere lui vue les prix des billets low-cost pour le maroc.
en tout cas je vous remercie tous enormement pour vos reponses, je savais que ma demannde de visa serait refusée, mais je voulais juste savoir si y'a des astuces ou des trucs a faire ou a eviter pour avoir plus de chance de l'avoir !!!
mais bon !! c pa grave !! j'ai decidé de ne pa faire de demande, de peur que ça s'enregistre sur leurs fichiers !!
merci encore une fois !
Signé : la marocaine qui redeviendra celibataire tres bientot.......... je rigooooooooooole, mon homme ne me laissera pas tomber a cause de ça ! ben il aura qu'a venir lui au Maroc, puisk une simple carte d'identité lui suffit ! il est tres comprehensif, c'est juste que lui aussi a envie de me montrer sa vie, comme moi je le fais kan il vient me rendre visite !
mais entre nous, je voulais vraiment aller la ba, voir son monde, son entourage, ses amis, sa famille, VOIR SA VIE !!!!!
merci a tous encore une fois
Juste pour savoir, as-tu de la famille en France ? Si oui, elle peut te faire une invitation, un hébergement pour obtenir un visa touristique. Mais !
Est-ce que tu travailles? Si oui, as tu une assurance ?
En gros, les chomeurs généralement ont des réponses négatives. Car ils savent que de toute façon ils rentreront pas chez eux, ils tenteront par tous les moyens de s y installer. Donc voilà.
Si tu as un membre de ta famille qui peut t'accueillir, eh bien autant faire ta demande, tu n'as rien à perdre !
barbynaelish, bonjour,
donc, comme j'ai deja dit, j'ai pas de famille en france .En ce qui concerne l'hebergement, lui peut me l'envoyer, y'a pas de souci. il peut meme ossi se porter garant pour mes frais pendant mon sejour.
En ce qui concerne l'assurance, je peux tres bien en souscrire une.
je travaille, j'ai un salaire, mais il ne me permet pas de mettre de l'argent de coté, probablement paske moi, je depense beaucoup.
Aie aie aie c'est vrai que ca se complique la..
C'est vrai que tes chances sont quasi nulles 🤪. Se faire invitee par un jeune homme, cela veut tout dire en fait.. Ils sont pas dupes.. lool.
On ne sait jamais apres tout qui sait ?!
Bonne chance.
re,
au fait, si jai pas mon visa pour la suisse la boite pour laquelle je bosse menvoie en tunisie en formation, a hamamet..si sa te dit de me contacter pour me renseigne sur la tunisie.lesse moi ton mail
voila a+
Je suis un peu dans la même situation que toi j'ai mon copain au Maroc, il n'a pas beaucoup d'argent et pourtant il souscrit régulièrement pour l'obtention de son Visa, une assurance sur le site de Mondial Assistance : www.mondial-assistance.fr .
L'assurance est effectivement obligatoire pour tout voyage dans l'espace Schengen. Tu devrais te renseigner sur les garanties que propose l'assurance de Mondial Assistance car leur produits semblent rééllement étudiés pour des étrangers qui viennent en France. Leurs plafonds médicaux sont plutôt intéressants. Je te conseille vivement de t’informer sur cette compagnie d’assistance et de comparer par toi même les propositions. Je sais que Mondial Assistance a différentes formules d'assurance et que leurs prix et leurs solutions voyages sont relativement abordables et réellement indispensables en cas de pépins. En plus leur site est simple et bien fait ! www.mondial-assistance.fr .
Cela fait 3 ans que je suis avec mon copain, j'espère que ton couple fonctionnera longtemps !!
Je te souhaite un bon séjour en France.
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,
Seb
Hi there,
I’m a French citizen living in Switzerland, and I set up an RV LLC in Montana, USA. Through that, I was able to register 3 vehicles (an RV, a Jeep, and a Harley) with Montana plates.
I’d like to spend 3 months in Mexico, but it seems complicated—maybe even impossible—to cross the border from the US with all 3 vehicles.
Can anyone give me some advice?
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! 😊
I’ve been to Thailand several times, but it was about 20 years ago…
There’s a new system in place now, it seems.
TDAC – Thailand Digital Arrival Card.
Before arriving, I apply for a TDAC, okay.
If during my stay I cross the border to spend a few days in Malaysia and then re-enter Thailand,
do I need to submit a new TDAC application?
Do I use the same TDAC as when I first entered the country?
Or do I initially have to pay for a Thai multi-entry visa?
Thanks in advance for your insights—I can’t find the answer online.
My partner (Mexican) entered France on January 21st as a tourist. She was therefore entitled to stay for 90 days in the Schengen Area. She’ll be leaving for Mexico on April 16th, so she’ll have “used up” 86 days.
She plans to return to France on July 18th. According to the European Commission’s Schengen calculator, this new stay “may be authorized for a maximum of 90 days.” That’s not very clear ("may be," "for a maximum of").
The text of Article 6 of the European regulation (2016/399) states that for a stay planned in the territory of the Member States, not exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period, one must examine "the 180-day period preceding each day of the stay." That’s not very clear either.
My partner wants to return to France for a 90-day period starting on July 18th. Is this possible?
There are two ways to look at it:
1) The first day she spent in the Schengen Area was January 21st. That day will drop out of the calculation 180 days later, on July 20th.
From July 20th, she’ll get back 1 day of possible stay; on July 22nd, 2 days; and so on. All the days from her previous stay (January 21st–April 16th) need to be outside the 180-day rolling window.
The last day of her stay was April 16th. Looking 180 days ahead, that brings us to October 13th. From that date, she’ll be able to return for a full 90 days.
2) The number of allowed days is calculated for each day of the new stay. In other words: the 180-day window is recalculated every day, not fixed at the entry date.
If she re-enters France on July 18th, she’ll only have a “credit” of 4 days. But with each day of her new stay, one day from the previous stay (January–April) will drop out of the calculation. The rolling window allows her to “replace” days from the previous stay with those of the new stay, without ever exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period.
In this case, my partner could stay in France for 90 days starting on July 18th.
The Prefecture doesn’t provide any information, nor does Air France, and in the forums I’ve checked, opinions are divided. Thanks for any insights you can share!
Hello,
We’re planning to travel to Indonesia (Sulawesi with family) next July and August for a stay longer than a month (about 6 weeks).
I’ve seen that it’s possible to get a 60-day visa before departure, but I’ve also read about people having a lot of trouble getting it (some even didn’t manage and had to leave without it).
We absolutely need to have these 4 visas BEFORE leaving because once we’re in Sulawesi, I’m not sure we’ll be able to go to an embassy to request a visa extension after 30 days.
In short, how can we **100% guarantee** that we’ll get our 4 60-day visas before our trip this summer?
Hello, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026!
We’re heading back in October for a trip through Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
I have a question: for our route, we’ll need to cross the Zambia and Zimbabwe borders twice each. From experience, I know we won’t have any issues with Botswana.
But for the other two countries, I can’t find a clear answer.
All your tips are welcome!
I’m currently a student on a gap year, and I don’t plan to go back to school right away. That said, traveling really interests me. But I’ve been wondering: does being a student come with any perks when you decide to go abroad? The real question is whether I should re-enroll in a program just to keep that status without actually attending.
