Le voyageur qui part en Afrique pour vendre sa vielle "Pigeot" et se faire un peu de sous "c'est fini"
Le voyage + le prix du dit véhicule + les visas + le carburant = beaucoup plus que ce que tu vas en tirer à la vente , moins(-) le prix du billet d'avion pour ton retour = perte .. mais un voyage fabuleux ..
Modèle = fourgon/break de marque Mercedes.... (ALLEMAGNE) , break pigeot
Prix dans les 1 à 2.000.000 de fr cfa (de 1.500 à 3.000 euro)
La crise est aussi d'actualité en Afrique, tous voudrons ce véhicule , mais rare serons ceux qui ont le fric ..
OUI la Pigeot c'est bien ..
Je n'avais pas bien répondu plus haut sur le Maroc
Maroc = tu entre et ressort avec le véhicule !! donc pas de problème pour eux
Mauritanie = tu entre et ressort avec le véhicule !! donc pas de problème pour eux
Mali = ne pas dire au passage de douane que tu viens pour vendre le véhicule (si non = taxe) et surtout ne pas le dédouaner !! c'est du ressort de l'acheteur
Maroc = douane informatisé : avoir les papiers à son nom (carte grise)
Mauritanie = inscription du véhicule sur le passeport (entrée/sortie)
Mali = commence a regarder d'un peu plus prés les véhicules qui entrent
Pour traverser le sud Maroc et la Mauritanie il te faut faire 30 fiches de renseignement "individuelle", si tu ne veux pas passer 1/2h à chaque contrôle de police (voir un modèle sur mon blog)
Salut papaye, cela fait environ 12 ans que je descends en afrique pour vendre des caisses...j'ai 35 ans et 27 descentes mais je ne suis pas un pro, j'ai mon travail en france ( qui me laisse le temps que je veux🙂) et suis trop un mordu de ce continent, mais...
papy a raison, le temps est révolu, il ne faut pas compter y aller pour se faire un max, moi même depuis dèjà presque 7 ans ( depuis la fin des convois), je réussi à gagner suffisamment mais en remplissant la caisse de bordel que je sais ou et comment vendre, la voiture elle même ne me permet que de payer le budget transport...gazole, taxi et avion de retour...(quand tu n'as pas eu de panne bien sûr)...
pour le mali, je trouve que c'est un pays assez dur pour vendre si on ne connais pas trop leurs combines...saches qu'une berline te poisera moins de souci qu'un break...
je suis descendu en février dernier avec une 505 break familiale l'authentique 7 places, très dur à trouver en france en bonne état...et j'en ai vraiment chié, pourtant je sais ou aller et je connais une bonne partie des acheteurs potentiels sur bamako kayes et mopti et les cocos savaient dèjà que je venais vendre avant même que je sois au mali😏, on ne passe pas inaperçu avec un break a destination de bamako😇...
les 505 berlines remontent en cote actuellement car cela s'épuisent et ils en sont toujours fan...sinon, au mali la 406 à une bonne cote, oublie les ford et volvo surtout :) quand à la 405 ils en sont moins fan, j'en ai vendu une en octobre dernier à 1200 mais gros souci dessus, en break si tu trouves amemes plutôt une nevada 7 places en serie 2...la tu vas avoir du monde à vouloir être ton ami lol...
Après pour la vente, je ne vais pas flooder le site avec un message de 100 lignes, je peux te filer 2 ou 3 conseils en privé si tu veux mais bon je ne suis pas très bavards là dessus, je trouve que de vivre ça est une trop belle experience et que l'on en gardera un très bon souvenir en ayant pu soit même se débrouiller...si tu voit cela comme des vacances et que tu as un peu d'argent de coté au cas ou rien se ne passerrai comme prévu...alors fonces tu n'auras aucun regret....je ne compte pas le nombre de voiture que j'ai du abandonné là bas et ou j'ai perdu gros mais jamais je n'ai été decu , j'ai toujours accepté le jeu et maintenant encore, mon amour pour ce continent passe au dessus du bénéfice.... (j'ai parait il encore une de mes 505 qui m'attends à" l'auberge de jeunesse" de kayes..mais les flics aussi je crois 😕)....
j' y vais toujours dans l'espoir de gagner de l'argent mais toujours avec de quoi faire mon voyage comme si je partais en vacances...et cela a toujours été des vacances...
bon voyage à toi. je ne sais pas quand tu pars mais mali en mai....🙁
ps : je termine par dire que depuis le 1er mars, la donne est toute nouvelle en afrique pour la vente de caisse, la RIM ayant fait son blocus des voitures de + de 8 ans, j'imagine que cela va faire tache d'huile sur les complications dans les autres pays..ne pouvant pas vendre en RIM..au sénégal c'est pas possible ( enfin si mais bon lol très compliqué et faut connaitre du beau monde à st louis), le mali sera la destination obligé pour vendre...au burkina, ca se vends mais pas cher et pire plus bas, en plus ils preferent l'essence au diesel donc bonjour le budget....
je n'ai pas d'information fiable sur la vente des caisses depuis cette nouvelle loi et donc a part des avis, je ne sais pas quelles conséquences cela aura au mali du moins en pratique😛...je eux te filer le mail d'un ami français sur bamako, peut etre te renseignera t'il sur la situation...en tout cas, dis toi bien que les maliens ne sont pas idiots et qu'ils sauront sans aucun doute tirer parti de cet avantage pour eux
mea culpa sur les tartines que je fous en ce moment sur les forums..mais me suis cassé la patte la semaine derniere et je me fais grave ch....🤪...promis je vais essayer d'être moins bavard
ça deviens dur c'est clair, mais pas impossible, il faut toujours la bonne caisse au bon moment, et ça c'est toi et chance.
le burkina, aie les ouagalais n'achète pas comme ça, y'a pas autant de bizz a faire avec après. Et franchement bamako est saturé ! vous avez vu les parking, bordel de bordel. Pour la RIM, les voiture de plus de 8 ans on quand même le droit de passer ? rassyrez moi.
a+
L'occident n'est qu'une réalité parmi tant d'autres, le voyage permet de s'en rendre compte
salut bruno...oui pour la RIM, tu peux passer bien sûr, aucun souci même si je n'ai pas vérifié par moi même, ça passe c'est sur...quand aux parking de bamako....😏 ben j'imagine aisement ce que ça va donner après l'hivernage quand tout le monde va redescendre si la RIM reste fermé...(pense à faire le visa à rabat au fait)...
HELLO
je vais assez souvent au mali et actuelement en voitures le mieux a descendre cest des peugeot 406 essence ou diesel mais avec la clim et apres arrive les 306 , les laguna ou golf3 mais avec clim mais bon il faut pas etre pressé de vendre car cesont des grand marchadeur ils fait pas hesiter a changer de quartier pour faire voir ta voiture et si tu as beson de rsgt laise moi un pv
sam
Un douanier à l'aéroport de Bamako m'a fait des embrouilles car il a vu sur mon passeport que j'etais passé en RIM en voiture et il en a deduit bien-sur que j'etais rentré au Mali avec et que je l'avais vendu.
Il a essayé de me faire peur en me disant qu'il pouvait m'interdire de prendre mon avion le temps de faire un enquète pour voir si je ne n'etais pas entré avec un véhicule volé
Je l'ai remis en place en lui disant que je l'avais vendu au maire de Ségou et que je n'avais rien à me reprocher, bref il a laissé tombé mais sur le coup j'ai flippé un peu quand même.
Ce genre d'histoire vous est-il arrivé ?
je voudrais vendre ma voiture au mali en passant par l algerie car je suis algerien, je voudrais avoir si possible tt les informations possibe (taxe, douanes,…

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!
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?
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?...
Question for those who’ve done it:
In theory (French national), I’m visa-exempt for a 30-day tourist stay, but on France Diplomatie it says on this page
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!

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!
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!
