je part avec une copine en tunisie pour une semaine avec une agence de voyage, ma copine vien du kasakhistan mais habite en belgique et posséde une carte d'identé d'étranger résidant en belgique, elle a également son passeport et posséde la nationalité du kasakhistan, est ce qu'il y a quelqu'un dans le même cas qu'elle qui est parti en tunisie??? si c'est le cas est ce qu'elle aura besoin de visa ou pas??? est ce que la tunisie a des accords avec les pays ressortissant de l'URSS?? j'attend votre réponse et merci d'avance 😉
" est ce que la tunisie a des accords avec les pays ressortissant de l'URSS?? "
Je suis au regret de vous faire part de la disparition de l'URSS en 1991.
Ta copine étant de la nationalmité du KASAKHSTAN, le plus simple n'est-il pas de t'adresser à l'ambassade de ce pays en Tunisie ou en Belgique ? (effectivement, même s'il a fait partie de l'URSS, celle-ci n'existe plus depuis belle lurette et personne ne pouvait donc répondre à la question telle que tu l'avais posée)
Chaque république de l'ancienne URSS est maintenant une nation et a ses règles, donc, à moins d'avoir connu un Kasakhe en Tunisie, il nous est difficile de t'éclairer.
je te remercie pour ta réponce, au moin tu te fou pas des autres pas comme certains 😠, peut être que g mal posé ma quastion mais biensur tout le monde sai que l'urss n'existe plus mais je parlai des pays qui ont fait partie dans le passé, en fin ce n'est pa la le probléme, biensur elle a appelé l'embassade du kasakhistan à bxl et ils ne savent rien, moi g appelé l'embassade de la tunisie à bxl et une fois ils disent oui une autre fois ils disent non 🤪 alors je ne sai plus qui croire, en fin.... on vera bien 😉
Il est aberrant que l'ambassade de son pays à Bruxelles ne sache rien.
demande à votre agence de voyage de véridifer les documents requis et de te le confirmer PAR ECRIT, ils sont tenus de le faire, c'est leur job ou envoie un courrioer recommandé ou un mail à l'ambassade.
Désolée mais je n'ai pas d'autre rponse
Vous employez "ressortissant" au sens de "pays de l'ex-URSS" ; un ressortissant est normalement un citoyen d'un Etat, pas l'Etat lui-même ; donc le titre " Un ressortissant de l'URSS a-t-il besoin de visa pour la Tunisie?" induit en erreur.
Ceci dit, je vais vous répondre :
Oui il faut le passeport avec un visa, sauf si : voyage en groupe ou en individuel organisé par agence, présence d'un voucher,
Et l'agence aura contacté par avance les autorités tunisiennes.
"Chaque république de l'ancienne URSS est maintenant une nation"
Elles ont toujours été des nations ; elles sont devenues des Etats indépendants, d'où d'ailleurs le nom de CEI - Communauté des Etats Indépendants.
Ne me dites pas que ce sont des détails sans importance ; en matière de formalités il faut être très rigoureux, toujours.
Par ailleurs il me semble avoir répondu à la question initiale.
>>>>Il est aberrant que l'ambassade de son pays à Bruxelles ne sache rien. <<<
Il n'y a rien d'étonnant à cela, ce genre de choses n'est pas dans ses attributions.
Seule une représentation Tunisienne serait en mesure de dire quelles sont les formalités pour tel ressortissant pour rentrer dans le pays.
Et pour une agence de voyage, meme s'il y a une obligation légale ( ??), je doute qu'ils aient en ligne tous les renseignements par nationalité/pays visité de plus à jour !!. z'ont déja pas grand chose !!
Si tu veux avoir une opportunité dans un avenir proche d'écumer les tavernes de Minsk, il faudra que tu fasses allégence au nationalisme biélorusse...
Je voulais dire qu'un Etat et une nation ne coincident pas, ou alors guère ailleurs qu'en France... Et en Chine 🙂... (Tu vois comme je ne rechigne pas à la flagornerie....)
C'est vrai que les deux notions n'ont pas à coïncider. Mais le concept de nation biélorusse me laisse quand même songeur. J'avoue ne pas connaître grand chose à l'histoire des peuples slaves, mais le mot "toujours" me semble un tantinet exagéré s'agissant de la durée d'existence de cette nation.
Le grand leader de Biélorussie n'a-t-il pas longtemps prôné une réunification avec la Russie d'ailleurs?
Enfin bon, en ce moment les bouges de Tiraspol me tentent plus que les tavernes de Misk, et je ne manquerai pas de me taire le moment venu si je traverse cette contrée. 🙂
Bonjour
Les resortissants des pays de l'ex-URSS (à l'exception de l'Arménie), de la pologne, de la République Tchèque, de la Slovaquie et de la Hongrie sont dispensés de la formalité de visa d'entrée en Tunisie quand ils s'y rendent dans le cadre d'un voyage organisé.
Pour info: Ma belle fille est entée en Tunisie sans visa uniquement avec son passeport Ouzbèke et une réservation d'hotel.
Bon séjour en Tunisie
Claude
🙂 je te remercie bcp pour ta réponse, ça me rassure (pas comme certain qui font que perdre mon temps en se moquant) lol, en tout cas elle a été au consulat tunisien à bxl et ils ne savent même pas s'il faut un visa ou pas, on attend leurs réponse, mais ce que tu me dit me rassure car on pas bcp de temps, on part le 23 juin🤪, encore merci bcp 😉
Sur le site de l'ambassade de Tunisie à Paris il y a tous les renseignements que vous cherchez (le terme ex-URSS y est employé!!!!!) :

la meilleure façon d'avoir une réponse sûre c'est de s'adresser à l'ambassade tunisienne à Bruxelles, on vous donnera un réponse définitive. mais à priori si vous voyagez avec une agence de voyage sérieuse, elle a dû faire toutes les démarches auprès des autorités, mais n'oubliez pas vos passeports
pour finir, elle a été au consulat tunisien à bxl et eux même ils n'été sur, alors ils ont envoyer une demande en tunisie et on a du attendre plus d'une semaine pour avoir la réponse, verdicte: IL FAUT UN VISA MEME DANS LE CADRE D'UN VOYAGE ORGANISE, heuresement qu'ils délivrent ce visa en un jour si non les vac c pour les oubliétes 🤪, en tout cas merci a vous tous pour vos conseils.

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.

Hi, are there any travelers who’ve recently crossed the border between Karakalpakstan (Uzbekistan) and Beineu in Kazakhstan?

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.

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.
