Nous allons arriver du Vietnam pour passer au Cambodge directement de l'ile Phu Quoc à la frontière de Ha Tien.
Ce poste frontière n'accepte pas les E-visas et n'a pas très bonne réputation...
Pensez vous qu'il soit préferable de faire son visa en France ? ou pourrons-nous tout de même le faire sur place le matin du 2 janvier ? (dans un délai raisonnable ?)
Notre parcours :
30/12 - 2 janvier : Vietnam; Ile de phu Quoc (3 nuits)
2/01 : Trajet Hatien / PP avec stop à Kep pour dej + 2 h à Priom Chisor
nuit du 2, 3 et 4 /01 : PP
5/01 : Kompong Chhang (village flottant, 1 nuit)
6 et 7/01 : Battambang (2 nuits)
8 au 12/01 : bateau Battambang / SR. (4 nuits à SR)
12/01 Vol retour à 21h.
Si tu vous avez des idées, lieux "secrets" ou des astuces, nous sommes preneurs. Notamment pour organiser nos visites de SR.
On hésite à prendre une journée pour Beng Meala + Khom Pulen ?
bjr
tu peux faire le visa assez rapidement a la frontiere !! si tu n'as pas envie de t'embeter , quand tu es a phq tu book un billet complet bus plus bateau , arrivé a ha tien tu donne 5 dollars de plus et l'agence te fais les demarches pour le visa cambo
exemple
tu reserve un phu quoc kep , on vient te chercher a ton hotel a phq pour t'emmener au bateau , a l'arrivée a ha tien mini bus qui t'emmene dans une agence, a l'agence tu donne ton passeport et tu remplis les papier et tu donne 5 dollars plus 30 pour le visa et quand tout le monde est pret vous remontez dans le bus et direction la frontiere , passage frontiere et vous remontez dans un bus pour finir le voyage
la derniere fois que j'ai fais c'etait y'a deux ans , partis de l'hotel a phq vers 7h du mat arrivé a kep vers 13h
cdlt
Je ne vois pas le "pas très bonne réputation", on passe sans problème. Par contre, ce qui n'a pas bonne réputation, c'est le transport : un minibus Ha Tien-frontière, qui n'a pas le droit d'entrer au Cambodge, donc 500 m à crapahuter avec bagages entre les deux postes, puis 2e minibus frontière-Kep, et les minibus frontière-Kep-Kampot-PP sont de vieux trucs bourrés comme des oeufs, un cauchemar !
Méfiez-vous de la vie, car les ratés ne vous rateront pas!
attention pour le timing comme c'est des passages et des bus groupés suffit qu'il y ai dans le lot de voyageur un qui pose probleme pour x raison cela peu etre plus long (ma premiere fois avec ce systeme il y a 6 ans je suis arrivé a kep a 18h00
Aie !!
Vu que l'on souhaite remonter sur PP, avec un stop de 2 h à Priom Chisor (taxi driver déja réservé), si on quitte la frontière à 18h00, cela ne va pas le faire !
il est peut être préferrable que l'on se pointe tous seuls à la frontière en Tuk Tuk Vietnamien pour passer les contrôles seuls ?
Qu'en pense tu ?
au vietnam pas de tuc tuk c'est des xe om (motobyke taxi negocier et faire marquer le prix sur un papier ou alors taxi) et oui tu peux aller seul a la frontiere car sur un groupe de 10/12 personne suffit qu'il y ai un hurluberlu qui foute le bazar pour x raison et c'est vite le bordel (dans mon cas ce fut un israelien et sa femme qui refusaient de monter dans le minibus sous pretexte qu'il n'etait pas le meme que sur la photo quand ils avaient pris le billet et ensuite on a pris du retard tout au long de la journée sous les memes pretextes )!! donc seul a la frontiere oui tu peux en sachant que coté cambodge il faudra te debrouiller et negocier ferme avec tuc tuck ou xe om ou taxi pour te faire emmener a kep ou kampot (ils le savent que tu es a pied donc ils sont les patrons) ou alors pour plus de securité tu pars la veille de phq et tu passe une nuit a kampot petite ville bien agreable pour une etape
je regardais tes date c'est vrai que tu n'est que 3 jours a phq donc tu vas pas sqizzer une nuit
normalement je pense que je serai sur phq pour les fetes de fin d'année on essaierra de se voir sur phq et j'ai pas mal de contact là bas français expat qui auront peut etre des combines
dès que je suis au vietnam (la semaine prochaine ) je te communiquerai mon numero viet en MP
si tu as un phone desimloké tu prends une sim viet en arrivant et comme ça tu pourras m'appeler ou alors on correspond via les MP du forum
Super pour les infos…
Nous avons booké un taxi drivers qui devrait nous attendre à la sortie de la frontière coté Cambodge à 11h00 AM (pour une arrivée Ferry à 9h20 à Ha Tien). Cela devrait donc être bon pour un dej à KEP (on peut rêver :)) + trajet PP avec stop à PRiom.
Je n'ai pas encore de phone Vietnamien et suis pas sur d'en prendre un car nous passons juste 3 jours sur Phu Quoc et passons directement au Cambodge après… Donc on correspond via MP
Et tout à fait OK pour une bière sur place et des plans expats en dehors des flots touristiques…. Suis preneur de balade, pistes et autres curiosités naturelles peu fréquentées..
A plus
Antoine
ok on correspond par mp alors , tu as booké un hotel a phq ?? malheureusement le beau phq a disparu sous le beton , moi je continue a y aller parce que beaucoup d'amis là bas sinon je changerai !!
J'ai passé cette frontière dans l'autre sens en mars dernier de Kampot. Je n'ai eu aucun souci. En revanche si elle n'a pas bonne réputation , c'est tout simplement qu'il te faudra backchicher le service immigration côté Cambodge pour ton visa, comme on te l'a préciser sur une réponse.
Avant je faisais mes visas sur place aux postes frontières, ça passait relativement bien, mais depuis plusieurs années, on te demande de plus en plus, si tu refuses, on te bloque un bon bout de temps. Dorénavant je fais toujours mes visas avant, lorsque je suis repassé au Cambodge en venant de Saigon, j'ai fait mon visa au consulat du Cambodge pour 25 dollars et je n'ai eu aucun souci, contrairement aux autres passagers qui ont du payer plus cher.
La corruption est partout dans ces pays, y compris au Vietnam et ça devient lourd.
En ce qui concerne votre parcours, dommage de ne pas vous arrêter à Kampot et écourter une journée à PP.
A Battambang, SAM SAROM organise des bons road trip en scooter a travers la campagne, que vous ne ferez jamais seul, c'est génial.
Merci Arnaud pour ces précisions.
Pour info, nous passons les 2 nuits de Battambang chez Sam et avons prévu 1 journée en moto avec lui pour découvrir la région... Cela a effectivement l'air TOP !
Antoine
Je connais bien sam c est un copain. Je l' ai connu a ses débuts. Ils ont fait un beau petit guesthouse. Ses ballades sont supers. Tu pourras lui parler de moi.
Du 05 janvier au 15 avril, nous partons avec mon épouse pour un tour d'Asie du su Est (Thaïlande, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodge). Nous devons passer la frontière…
Je souhaite bientôt passer du Vietnam au Cambodge. J'ai vu qu'il y a avait un nouveau point de passage entre Le Tanh (Vietnam) et O Yadam (Cambodge), près de…
Il semble que l on puisse passer du camdodge au vietnam et obtenir un visa gratuit vietnamien pour une durée de 15 jours!? cela est-il possible de o yadaw…
Quel est le formulaire à télécharger sur le net pour passer la frontière à Prek Chak dans le sens Vietnam - Cambodge. Merci par avance pour vos réponses. Bien…
La semaine prochaine nous allons passer du Cambodge au Vietnam au niveau du poste frontière Vinh Xuong /Kaam Sammor. Nous resterons moins de 15 jours au…
Hi there,
we’re planning our trip to the North Cape this summer. We bought a new vehicle for it. Unfortunately, the registration document is still being processed, and the delay seems long—I don’t think I’ll have it in time for our departure...
I have the transfer documents, insurance in my name, and all the supporting paperwork, but not the registration document. So my question is: does the ferry company require the registration document *mandatorily* when boarding in Denmark or not?
Thanks for any insights...
Hi everyone,
I bought a new apartment in Pattaya that will be finished at the end of 2013, and I’d like to buy more later...
I think it’s a good investment idea, but I’d love to hear from those of you with experience—what do you think? I’d also like to know how to handle rentals... Should I go through agencies, or are they usually rented out directly by the building management companies?
Thanks in advance for your replies! 🙂
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?
hi everyone,
I need to apply for a new eTA for Canada.
do I need the number from my old eTA or not?
because I can’t find my old eTA number anymore.
thanks for your replies, have a great weekend
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
Hello everyone,
Could a resident of Benin (Cotonou) kindly let me know which is the best mobile phone and internet service provider?
Thank you very much,

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!
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. 😔
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.
Hi there,
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!
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?...
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!

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?
