Bonjour,
Malgré mes recherché sur le forum, je ne trouve pas la réponse a mes questions au sujet du Visa Thai.
Actuellement au Japon, je me rends en Malaisie mi décembre par avion pour rejoindre ensuite la Thailande par la terre avent de revenir mi-janvier a Kuala Lumpur pour reprendre mon vol pour Paris.
Je voyage avec ma copine qui est marocaine.
Nous avons entendu dire que lorsque l’on rentrait par la terre en Thailande , on ne nous donnerait qu’un visa de 15jours. Or nous souhaiterions rester plus (3semaines environ) sans avoir besoin de ressortir du pays.
1) Etant français et exempté de visa, est-il possible de faire quand même un visa de 30jours avant de partir ( A Tokyo ou Kuala Lumpur) et de le montrer au passage de la frontiere ? (j’ai essayer de contacter l’ambassade Thai a Paris et Tokyo mais personne ne sait me renseigner)ou y a-t-il une autre solution pour rester plus longtemps sans avoir besoin de ressortir ?
2) Quelqu’un a-t-il fait ces demarches recemment a Kuala Lumpur et connait il l delais d’obtention du visa ?
3) Enfin, un billet d’avion Japon-Malaisie, Malaisie-France est-il suffisant pour justifier que l’on va quitter la Thailande ou faut il fournir des pièces justificatives d’un retour Thailande-Malaisie (pour un français comme pour une marocaine , non exempté de Visa) ?
Desolé pour autant de questions mais j’ai vraiment du mal a trouver les infos auprès des ambassades.
Si je comprends bien je peux donc demander un visa de 2mois a Kuala Lumpur: ce Visa est-il valable meme si je rentre par voie terrestre?ça mets combien e temps a Kuala Lumpur ce Visa?
Je croyais d'ailleurs qu il etait payant (ma copine payé 30euro pour le faire au maroc , cet été!) : super nouvelle en tout cas!
Sais tu aussi si le billet Japon-Kuala-Kuala-Paris sera suffisant pour faire le Visa de 30jours?
Au consulat ou a l'Ambassade, quand tu demandes un visa touristique c'est 60 jours et non 30 jours.Meme si tu rentres par voie terrestre c'est valable evidemment.
Les visas sont gratuits jusqu'en mars 2011.
Je ne connais pas les delais a Kuala, mais en principe quand tu vas le matin, tu recuperes le lendemain apres-midi.A confirmer par un forumeur.
Oui, 2 mois , je me suis rendu compte de mon erreur par la suite!
Les delais semble vraiment court, c'est super!
Quelqu 'un sait-il si ce Visa peut etre obtenu aussi bien par un français que par une marocaine? (les statuts sont parfois differents)
Je voulais preciser qu on est deja aller en Thailande cet été pour un mois, nous en sommes repartis debut septembre...Cela ne pose t il pas de probleme d'obtenir un second Visa d'un mois dan la meme année?

Normalement ta copine doit avoir un visa avant d'entrer en Thailande.
Pas de probleme pour demander 2 visas dans la meme annee.
Non ma copine, a du prendre un visa la derniere fois avant de quitter la France...
Etant marocaine, des fois c' est un peu plus galère ou un peu long pour les visas, c'est pour sa que je me demandais du coup pour les formalités a Kuala Lumpur si c'etait long...
tu crois que sa change quelaue chose pour le visa et si on rentre par le terre?
De toute facon, en tant que marocaine, elle est obligee de faire un visa a Kuala pour entrer en Thailande.
Mais je ne connais pas les delais pour ce cas de figure.
Comme elle en a deja eu un, ca sera peut-etre plus simple mais bon ce n'est pas sur non plus.
Oui, j'y ai bien sur pensé mais en effet, je suis a Nagoya et l'ambassade/consulat est a Tokyo (assez loin).
De plus c'est vraiment la galere : j'ai appelé l'ambassade pour qu il me donne la liste des papiers a fournir, il me renvoie vers une adresse mail, qui 'elle meme me renvoie vers ce meme numero de telephone...c'est un peu fou
du coup j'ai peur d'aller a Tokyo pour rien si je n'ai pas tous les papiers...
En plus tu dis que de Kuala c'est gratuit mais de de Tokyo, je crois que c'est 40euro...c'est possible ça?Pourquoi le visa est moins cher a Kuala...bizzarre...
Les visas touristiques sont gratuits jusqu'en mars 2011 dans toutes les ambassades et consulats thailandais du monde.Mais apparemment certains n'appliquent pas la reglementation.
Le mieux c'est d'aller a l'ambassade de Kuala a ton arrivee, demander la liste des papiers a fournir pour ta copine marocaine.Tu pourra toujours arguer du fait qu'elle a deja eu un visa.Bonne chance.
Si tu y penses, tiens-moi au courant.
Pour les prix , je sais que cela dépend de ta nationalité .Va à tokio et tu l' auras en qlqs heures ou sinon à KL .
Je sais qu ' il y a des accords avec le maroc et la thailande , donc a priori pas de problème non plus ..... Bon voyage .
Bangkok - AMBASSADEUR : M. EL HASSANE ZAHID
Adresse:
CHANCELLERIE : ONE PACIFIC PLACE 19TH FLOOR, SUKUMVIT ROAD - BANGKOK 10110 - THAILAND
Je sais qu ' il y a des accords avec le maroc et la thailande , donc a priori pas de problème non plus .....
A mon avis tu sais rien du tout et tu induis les gens en erreur car le Maroc n'est pas dans la liste des 42 pays:
Exemption de Visa
Les ressortissants des 42 pays suivants sont dispensés de visa a leur arrivée dans le Royaume pour y effectuer un séjour touristique :
Afrique du Sud, Allemagne, Australie, Autriche, Belgique, Bresil, Bahrain, Brunei, Canada, Danemark, Espagne, Finlande, France, Grece, Hong Kong, Islande, Indonesia, Irlande, Israel, Italie, Japon, Corée du Sud, Koweit, Luxembourg, Malaysie, Monaco, Nouvelle-Zelande, Norvege, Oman, Pays-Bas, Perou, Philippines, Portugal, Qatar, Singapour, Suede, Suisse, Turquie, Emirats Arabes Unis, Royaume-Uni, Etats-Unis d'Amerique, Vietnam -
Nan j' essaie d' éclaircir mais effectivement je me suis trompé c' est vrai .
J' étais sur autre chose , mais pas la peine de dénigrer jumbo cela arrive .Maintenant je sais que qu 'il y a des accords de coopération notamment sur le visa et je te sortirais le VRAI lien mais là si tu le permet je vais me coucher . Maintenant tu peut toujours le faire à ma place ...... merci d' avance .
D' autres part tout dépend aussi de la résidence ( france ou maroc ) .
Sans rancune .
Je me permets de me joindre à cette discussion car ma question est très similaire.
Je suis au Laos et je vais passer par la frontière terrestre en Thailande. Je souhaite y rester plus de 15 j. Je pense à 2 solutions.
Option 1 Obtenir un visa de plus de 15 jours pour la Thailande au Laos
- > Connaissez vous les délais d'obtention à Ventiane? A Louang Praban? Le coût?
Option 2
- > Obenir une prolongation de mon visa de 15 jours une fois que je suis en Thailande.
Savez vous si c'est possible depuis Chiang Mai ou Phuket? Connaissez vous les délais et le coût?
Option1: faire un visa touristique a Vientiane, depot du passeport le matin et recuperation le lendemain apres-midi (attention aux jours feries).Normalement c'est gratuit jusqu'en mars 2011.
Option2:une fois tes 15 jours expires, tu seras oblige de retourner a une frontiere faire un visa run (aller-retour), beaucoup plus onereux et fatigant.
Meme si c'etait inexacte pour le Maroc, pas de soucis, etant deja aller en Thailande, on savait que les marocains avaient besoin d'un Visa.
En tout cas, merci pour vos recherches et pour ce contact direct qui pourra nous etre fort utile en cas de besoins.
Vousa avez l'air de dire que c'est assez facile faire le visa a KL et comme on a un peut de mal a avoir les amabssade au tel , vous savez le genre de papiers qu'ils demandent...ou une adresse internet ou je pourrais trouver la liste des papiers a prevoir pour le visa pour un marocain ou un français.
D'autre part, ma copine me dit qu'elle a du payer son Visa quand elle l'a fait au consulat de Casablanca, un truc comme 20euros en juillet 2010...bizzarre , non?
Apparemment tu n'as pas lu le lien que je t'avais donne dans un de mes precedents messages,
Ambassade Thai a Kuala: http://www.mfa.go.th/web/1321.php?depid=220
Qu'elle ait paye son visa, c'est possible, car chaque consulat a ses propres regles et ne respectent pas toujours la regementation.Le personnel fait la pluie et le beau temps et ce qu'on te demande comme papiers dans un consulat n'est pas forcement la meme chose que dans un autre consulat.
Ta copine doit bien se souvenir de ce qu'elle a fourni comme paperasse.
Bonne chance.
Et puis les Ambassades se foutent pas mal d' aider les gens , ils m' ont laisser en galère une fois quand j' avais perdu mes papiers , résultat une nuit dehors (1ere fois ds ma vie , je sais j' ai de la chance ) la seule chose qu' ils m' avaient répondu c' est téléphoner moi une fois que votre problème sera résolu demain .Tu parles comme je m' en fous de donner des nouvelles à quelqu' un qui m' a laissé crevé , oui un mauvais souvenir qui fait que je méprise pas mal de fonctionnaire (j' en ai ds ma famille = des bons à rien , pas de généralités , Et c' est sur que diminué les effectifs ne les aidera pas d' avantage , qu' auraient fait ces oncles et tantes si ils n' avaient pas été fonctionnaire aie aie aie , pour exemple y en a un qui pensait que les oeufs sur le plat se faisait au micro-onde lol. mais c' est mon avis personnel et un tout autre sujet ..... ?

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!

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!

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,

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?
