est ce que je peux me faire livrer des medicaments aux Etats unis avec une ordonnance ramenee de l etranger autre question existe t il une assurance qui vous couvre pour des soins pour une periode donnee merci
en fait je crois qu'il nous faudrait un peu plus d'explication .....
se faire delivrer tes medicaments dans une pharmacie au US avec une prescription etrangere : NON
si tu pars pour un sejour , 3 mois maxi, tu peux emporter tes medicaments avec toi
si tu pars pour plus longtempts, emporte les medicaments pour le debut, avec l'ordonnance, ensuite tu devra voir un medecin sur place pour avoir une nouvelle ordonnance.
prise en charge : je ne connais pas le systeme de couverture au Maroc, si tu es au Maroc..... sinon faut voir avec ta secu et ta mutuelle.et normalement, pas de probleme.
bonjour merci de m avoir repondu meme si la personne est elle meme medecin (ce qui n est pas le cas pour moi) elle ne peut pas se faire livrer des medicaments ? autre chose je n ai aucune couverture ici au Maroc c est pour cela que j ai pense a une assurrance genre Mondiale assistance au cas ou bonne journee
Les assurances de types Mondial sont exactement faites pour ça !!!
mais t'as pas repondu a la question, deplacement profesionnel, vacances, installation etc.... ? vouiiii suis curieuse, mais pour repondre correctement , c'est mieux 😉
ensuite le probleme medicament. que la personne concerne soit medecin, ça lui permet de savoir ce dont elle a besoin, ok, mais elle ne sera pas referencee dans les listes US, alors je doute que la pharmacie accepte, mais c'est a voir au cas par cas et l'urgence. un pharmacien peut tres bien accepter de depanner, mais ce sera selon son bon vouloir et la nature des medocs
bonjour enkakrl je me rend aux usa pour des demarches administratives pour nous installer j ai des questions a te poser mes je ne peux pas repondre sur ta mp car je suis nouvelles et pas assez d interventions dans le forum m ont ils dit pour y acceder??' mes salutations
je ne connais pas du tout le pays donc je me pose la question quel est l etat qui me conviendrait le mieux etant donne que je viens d un pays chaud je n aime pas la neige je ne peux pas me passer du soleil tu va me dire reste alors la ou tu es mais j envie de changer j habite la meme ville depuis 30 ans ras le bol🙁 je pense aussi aux etudes de mon fils j aimerai qu il continue ses etudes la bas dans une bonne universite , des tas de choses aux quelles je dois penser des fois je suis decouragee si tu peut me donner des tuyaux je serrais ravie
tu peut orienter tes recherches vers la Floride, mais plein monde, chaleur humide
vers le Texas, genial, chaud, sec et tres bonne universite, ( enfin des bonnes universite il y en a un peu partout 🙂
La Californie, chaud, plein de monde, cher.....
tout depend aussi, si tu recherche une grande ville ou plutot moyenne, si tu es citadine, shopping ou plus "nature", avec la mer pas trop loin ou pas....
Tous les etats du Sud peuvent convenir, La Caroline peut etre aussi, sur la cote Est,
autre chose, j'ai vu sur un autre post, ( reste sans reponse) que tu cherchais un hebergement avec kitchen.
je n'ai pas d'adresse de location en tete, mais sur le site suivant,
tu cherche les hotels qui s'appellent " Main Stay Suite" et "Suburban". ce sont des hotels " extended stay, c'est a dire que tu peux rester 2 jours ou plusieurs semaines, sans probleme.
leur interets, ils proposent toujours kitchen, avec plaque cuisson, micro onde, grand refrigerateur et un mimimum de vaisselle ( un peu mini a mon gout 🤪 )
sont bien situes et peu cher, surtout le Suburban.
seul inconvenient, le service n'est pas assures comme dans un hotel tradi, il ne font le menage qu'une fois par semaine, ou le jour de ton depart ou sur demande.
c'est tres convenable.
pour ENKA les informations que tu me donnes sont tres interressantes surtout pour le logement jai deux questions la premiere que penses tu de la caroline du nord nous avons un ami qui peut nous guider il habite a Raleigh? et combien peut compter un suburban par jour une fourchette quoi? ce genre de logement est il loin des centre ville ? merci
pour avoir une idee de prix je dirais entre 50 et 90 $ ( dollars)
mais cela depend des villes, et de la date choisie, si tu as quelques idees, fait quelques simulation sur le site. une fois sur le site de Choice Hotel, , clic sur le logo "Suburban" ensuite tu precise la ville et la date.
il est possible qu'il n'y ai que peu de choix ou pas du tout, cela dependra de la ville ....
les hotels sont souvent tres bien situes, no problem
La Caroline du Nord, c'est sympa , c'est tres vert, mais un peu trop humide pour toi je pense, le climat est tempere. et je suis sure qu'il y neige de temps en temps, ton amis pourrai le confirmer.
descend un peu plus au Sud, Caroline du Sud ou Georgie, mais tout comme la Floride , le climat sera toujours plus humide que le Maroc 😉 ce sont egalement des regions qui subissent + ou - les ouragans durant l'ete
SALUT Enka tu sais j habite a 10 mn de l ocean atlantique il fait assez humide et meme tres froid en hiver entre 10 et 15 degree il nous arrive de chauffer donc ce n est pas le desert mais pas le froid de new york nous allons opter pour BOSTON pour un premier temps pour demander la green card ensuite on verra autre chose tu sais j ai 58 ans tu crois que je pourrai trouver du boulot ici au MAROC je m occupe de la location de studios je ne parle pas l anglais a part ce que j ai appris au lycee l espagnol aussi si je dois me rendre la bas j aimerai gagner un peu ma vie car apparemment la vie est chere surtout s i on veut profiter du pays j espere que je ne t embete pas trop avec mes questions 😮😮😮 et toi que fais tu loin de la FRANCE un pays que nous aimons beaucoup pour y avoir sejourne pour nos etudes
pas problem pour les questions, le forum est la pour ça 😛
seulement il y a quelques chose je ne comprend pas trop.
dis moi si je me trompe :
tu as envie avec ton mari, je ne connais pas sa profession, de partir au USA, seulement tu n'as pas encore de green card, ni de boulot la bas, ni de visas, rien, ... en fait c'est seulement un projet, c'est bien ç'a ??
Hello,
🙂
je me posais cette question parce que tu parle d'obtention de la Green Card.
mais la carte, il n'y a pas 36 moyens de l'obtenir,
- soit tu as beaucoup $$$$$$$
- soit tu travaille pour une boite US et il te reclame et alors leurs avocats remplissent tous les papiers necessaires et meme là, c'est pas gagné d'avance
- soit tu epouse une personne americaine
- soit, et c'est le plus courant, tu postule pour la loterie, les inscriptions se font entre 2 octobre et le 30 novembre. et tu attends avec l'espoir d'etre tiré au sort ....🤪
c'est pourquoi , je ne comprend pas quant tu dis que vous allez a Boston pour remplir les papiers de demande....
sans vouloir etre indiscrete, quel est le type de visa que vous avez ?
OK,
te fache pas, c'est incomprehensible pour moi, mais bon...... si tu le dis ....j'en parle plus.
le cote purement administratif etant regle, et puis de tout façon ç'a ne me concerne pas , revenont a ce qui te preoccupe.
l'endroit ou vivre et les assurances.
bon, alors pour les assurances, je sais j'vais encore etre curieuse....... 😊
si c'est juste penant la periode de 6 mois, avant d'etre installes, il y a possibilites de s'inscrire aupres de differentes compagnies, il y en plein qui propose ce genre de couverture, je peut faire quelques recherche pour toi, mais en cherchant sur le net, tu devrais en trouver sans probleme. sinon fais moi signe.
ensuite , une fois sur place, tout dependra si travail ou pas. beaucoup d'entreprise offre une couverture sociale. sinon, tu devra souscrire a une assurance US.
pour le choix, je pensais que tu pourrais regarder en fonction des etudes que ton fils souhaite poursuivre, et donc commencer par regarder les differentes universites qui pourraient l'interresser.
en privilegiant les etats du sud 😉
Ha..... et puis, hiver tres froid a 10/15 degres, : desolee, CE N'EST PAS FROID, c'est juste tempere, et agreable, 😎
un hiver froid, c'est entre 0/10 , tres froid, c'est en dessous de 0
faudra penser a mettre un pull......😉
I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
I’m traveling to Portugal with my family and I have a treatment that requires injections. How can I take a flight with these? They look like injectable pens.
Thanks
We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,
Nicole
We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question:
Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
hi, I’m looking for information about the possibility of returning to Thailand with a portable liquid oxygen system and whether it’s possible to recharge it in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. thanks
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence.
Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...).
I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone is heading to Cuba soon and could bring me some over-the-counter Sildenafil (viagra) tablets—available at Varadero Airport, among other places.
Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan.
I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation.
I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
Hello,
I’m looking for a dentist who can do a full lower-arch implant with a complete prosthesis. I’m in Quebec and available to travel to Cuba. Need full contact details. Thanks everyone!
My current plan is to get my teeth treated in Cuba, especially for dental implants.
Has anyone here had experience and could refer me to a good, affordable dentist?
I’d really appreciate it if you could give me an idea of the price for one implant, since I need at least 6 done.
Thanks so much!
