What a joy to be back on this forum where I’ve spent so many hours traveling and gathering info—let’s get started! 👋
Almost everything’s in the title, but just to clarify:
As far as I know, you currently need a full French motorcycle license (A) to legally ride a scooter in Thailand, since they don’t recognize A1 or A2 licenses.
Yes, I know most rental places only ask for an international car license (B), or sometimes nothing at all… but that’s not what I’m asking.
What I’d like to know is whether you think this might change in the future, allowing A1 licenses (which are easier to get) or even car licenses (B), since you can ride a scooter in France with one.
I don’t want to get a motorcycle license—I’m scared of motorcycles, even though I’m comfortable on a scooter.
I’m a bit confused by their regulations.
Thanks for any insights you can share!
... Indeed, I wanted to know if you think this could evolve over time, toward accepting the A1 license (which is easier to obtain) or even the B license, which allows you to ride a scooter in France.
Hi Lulu56,
The answer is clearly no.
Thais must have the licenses corresponding to the vehicles they drive, and the same applies to foreigners.
Note that the international license only allows you to drive in Thailand for up to 3 consecutive months. Beyond that, you must absolutely hold a Thai license.
Regarding France:
The French A1 license isn’t a standalone license since it’s a certificate for a 7-hour training course taken at a driving school, and it seems to only apply to riding up to 125cc. You must absolutely have the B license, and it’s never transcribed on an international license.
The B license no longer allows you to ride a scooter unless the license was obtained before 1980 (check the exact date). The equivalence before the reform was preserved, but I’m not sure if it was limited to 50cc or extended to 125cc...
This is no longer transcribed on the international license, whereas before the reform and ANTS, it could be transcribed at the discretion of the prefecture official in your place of residence.
I don’t want to get a motorcycle license (I’m scared of motorcycles but feel comfortable on a scooter).
Be aware that there’s an automatic A2 license specifically designed for maxi-scooters (+125cc).
Otherwise, the A2 license is a power-limited license, and this is indicated on the international license transcription.
You can very well stay with this license.
Or, after 2 years, you can upgrade to the A license after a 7-hour training course at a driving school, which provides a certificate allowing you to obtain the full A license without power restrictions.
This is possible for both A2 licenses: manual (motorcycles) and automatic (scooters).
Of course, as with the B license where there are also two categories, if the manual A or A2 license allows you to ride both types of vehicles, the automatic A or A2 license only allows you to ride vehicles with automatic transmissions.
I’m a bit confused by their regulations
It’s quite understandable, as the reform was a bit of a mess...
I hope I’ve been thorough and clear enough to help you see things more clearly.

A category B license no longer allows you to ride a scooter unless the license was issued before 1980 (check the exact date), where the pre-reform equivalence is still valid. However, I can’t remember if it’s limited to 50cc or extended up to 125cc...
This is no longer noted on the international license, whereas before the reform and the ANTS system, it could be included at the discretion of the prefecture official in your place of residence.
Specifically, it’s pre-1985 and extended up to 125cc. That’s my case.
And indeed, it’s no longer specified on international licenses (I just received mine).
Best regards,
Bruno

For a possible expat, but not for several years (that’s why I’m asking if their regulations might change in the future). But for all the times I go there in the meantime—because without a scooter, on an island for example, you’re completely stranded unless you take a taxi for 600 baht one way!!!
The easiest way without a motorcycle license is to rent a car—it’s more expensive, but you’re much safer.
Totally agree. Ignoring the regulations is asking for huge problems if you ever have an accident. The kind you remember for the rest of your life.

You’d have saved those 600 baht one-way! If there’s one place we won’t be going back to, it’s the islands. A bit harder to find good restaurants, way fewer interesting temples, and prohibitive transport prices, etc.
For seeing the sea and beaches, I’m perfectly happy with these hundreds and hundreds of kilometers of coastline.
I’ll probably get told I’m not quite young enough anymore to be into that kind of (in)activity...🙂

Thanks everyone for your tips/feedback!
Congrats to all from the jury!!!
It’s still pretty complicated, but I’ve got time ahead of me. We’ll talk about it in 5 years.
I don’t plan to drive cars over there, but I might change my mind by then.
On the islands, you’re clearly stuck, but I’ll never stop going—they’re such beautiful places, and the vibe is totally different from spots like Phuket, where I don’t want to go back!
I’d take Koh Ma over Karon 10,000 times!! Okay, I’m exaggerating… but only a little! 😛
Thanks to everyone for your advice/feedback!
Congratulations from the jury to all!!!
Hello,
Better late than never... 😛
That said, there must be some "thing" between you and Jojoone... You seem to have eyes only for him...
It’s all still quite complicated...
Not really... In every country, you’re supposed to have the licenses corresponding to the vehicles you want to drive.
After that, there can be some specifics. For example, in Thailand, you’ll never be able to drive heavy trucks or buses, even if you have those licenses in France. In fact, those are licenses tied to a profession that’s off-limits to non-Thais.
On the islands, we’re clearly captive...
That’s not entirely true—many islands are accessible by scooter. You just need a ferry service that accepts goods (since a scooter is considered one).
I’d prefer Koh Ma 10,000 times over Karon
And I’d prefer being on the mainland 10,000 times over an island. After all, tastes, dislikes, and colors depend on each person...🙂
That's not entirely true—many islands are accessible by scooter, you just need a ferry route that accepts goods (since a scooter is considered cargo).
I’m saying the same thing: on the islands, we’re clearly stuck if we don’t have our own way to get around! This year, I ended up on an island where I couldn’t rent a scooter, and man, it was rough—I had to change my plans on the spot. I had no idea how expensive taxis were on the island because I’d always rented a scooter before. That was really my only point.
I’d take Koh Ma over Karon any day.
And I’d take the mainland over an island any day—after all, to each their own... 🙂
I wasn’t talking about the mainland—I was just comparing an island to some of the tourist-packed spots on the mainland. For the long term, I’d rather be on the mainland (like BKK) than on an island. But I was talking about a short, specific time (a vacation).
Either way, we can agree on... TO EACH THEIR OWN! 😁
I don’t judge others for their choices, and I ask that everyone do the same for mine! 😂😂😂
...This year I found myself on an island without being able to rent a scooter, and man, it was tough...
That’s why sometimes it’s a good idea to rent a scooter on the mainland and then head to the island when possible.
...I was just comparing an island with some overcrowded tourist spots on the mainland...
Karon, which you mentioned in your example, isn’t on the mainland—it’s on Phuket, which, unless I’m mistaken, is definitely an island. 😛
But I agree that an island connected to the mainland by a bridge loses a bit of that island status, in my opinion.
...For the long term, I prefer staying on the mainland (BKK, for example)...
Even though I like BKK (which you mentioned) for a few days, there are places and beaches just as stunning—and often quieter—than on the islands, even for short stays...
...I ask everyone to do the same with mine!
That goes without saying...
And then Jojoone1 and I—it’s serious!!!
We want details, we want details, we... And juicy ones if possible!!! 😏😏😏😛
Before Covid, the governor of Phuket had asked rental companies to check if the customer held a license, given the very high number of accidents—sometimes fatal—involving tourists.
Tourists sometimes without helmets, without insurance, and with barely any money.

Exact🏴☠️ as long as nothing happens to them... trouble starts when there’s an accident with a local, whether you have an A license or not, whether you’re in the right or not...🏴☠️
.The French A1 license isn't actually a license in itself since it's just a certificate for a 7-hour training course taken at a driving school, and as far as I know, it's only for riding up to 125cc. You absolutely must have a B license, and it's never transcribed onto an international permit.
That’s not true—the A1 license is a real motorcycle license that requires passing the theory test, the off-road circuit exam, and the on-road test. You need at least 20 hours of training, just like the A license.
You can get the A1 license without having a B license.
I’ll check with a driving school when I feel like it, and we’ll see what options are available based on my situation (category B license, old-school pink paper version 😅).
It's false that the A1 license is a real motorcycle license with a theory test, a closed-circuit exam, and a road test. You need a minimum of 20 hours of training, just like the A license.
You can take the A1 license without having the B license.
Hello,
That’s correct, and it can then be transcribed onto the international driving permit. However, in reality, this mainly applies to young people who don’t yet have the 2 years of B license experience. After that, you only need the attestation already mentioned, which doesn’t allow transcription onto the international permit since it’s considered valid only in France and possibly Europe (to be confirmed on the latter point).
Lulu56 stated in her original post that she "doesn’t want to get a motorcycle license," but as the saying goes—only fools never change their minds—so if she decides to, she can absolutely go for it, including the theory test, closed-circuit exam, and road test.
For additional info, here are the figures from the French Road Safety Authority for A1 licenses issued after the exam in 2023, broken down by age group (with A2 license numbers in parentheses):
16 years: 4,954 – 17 years: 2,529 – 18 years: 186 (4,813) – 19 years: 25 (6,322) – 20-24 years: 34 (29,157) – 25-29 years: 15 (19,587) – 30-39 years: 14 (25,135) – 40-49 years: 7 (15,222) – 50-59 years: 1 (7,281) – 60+ years: 0 (1,282) – Total: 7,765 (99,694). This represents 7.79% of all A licenses issued, with a pass rate of 72.1% for A1 and 86.3% for A2.
Get your A1 license—it shouldn’t cost much. You’ll still be ticketable, though. With a bit of smooth talk and a nice smile, you *might* get some leniency from the cop🙂.
I don’t think the legislation will change anytime soon. Before COVID, the government had considered creating a second motorcycle license for bikes with an engine size of 400 cc or more. They also talked about introducing a points-based license system. Neither project ever went anywhere.
Actually, it's not so much the price that puts me off (even though that's part of my criteria), it's mostly that I hate motorcycles—this type of vehicle scares me, and I feel deeply uncomfortable on them, that's just how it is. I can handle being on a scooter, and that’s my absolute limit!
So no, there’s no way I’m getting a category A, A1, A2, or A357 license in the next 10 years! But I’m thinking about looking into it so I’ll be ready if the day ever comes.
As @partirdeloin says, only fools never change their minds!
A nice smile: that *might* work, but I won’t rely on it...
I’ve already rented scooters often in Thailand, and my approach was to find out what I needed to do to be completely legal. Because we all know, even when you’re in the right, a *farang* involved in an accident can still run into trouble. So, it’s best to be as legal as possible! And it’s also a matter of principle—if it’s the Thai rule, then we respect it!
In any case, thanks for sharing all your opinions and experiences here—I read them all, even if I don’t always reply to everyone!
To be legal here as a two-wheeler owner:
- Have your Thai driver’s license
- Have your **POR LOR BOR** valid: this means having third-party liability insurance that covers up to 30,000–40,000 baht for the driver and 60,000–80,000 baht for the passenger. Repairs to the bike(s) aren’t included. This’ll let you pay the tax. On top of that, you can take out **PREMIUM** or **FIVE STARS** (comprehensive) insurance. If there’s a problem, you call them and they’ll send an expert to sort everything out.
All over Thailand, you’ll find French or French-speaking insurance brokers. The cost for comprehensive insurance for a Honda PCX 150 or 160 is around 5,000–7,000 baht/year.
Keep a copy of your passport, visa, a copy of the Green Book, and optionally a copy of your second insurance under the seat in case of a police check.

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!

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,

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!

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.
