Apres plusieurs recherches, je viens vers vous pour le fameux visa pour aller au Vietnam, puis au cambodge et enfin en thailande.
Je me perds..beaucoup dans tout ce que je lis 🤪.
Si j ai bien compris:je peux faire ma demande directement aux differentes ambassades a Paris par correspondance?
Ca j ai compris 😉..
Mais ensuite avec ces fameux visas, je peux donc prendre l avion et surplace je n aurais qu a le faire tamponner?Il faut payer je suppose pour ce tampon?Combien?
Merci pour vos reponses, je vois que le sujet a ete aborde 1000 fois..mais entre ceux qui veulent payer moins cher, ceux qui ne veulent pas attendre au guichet, on s y perd beaucoup 😎.Je veux juste ne pas perdre de temps en demarches a l aeroport 🙂.
de facon plus simple
inutile de faire en avance les visa d'entree au cambodge
procedure tres simple arrivée aeroport cambodge 20 USD a payer sur palce + 1 photo d'identité ( visa 30 jours maxi)
pour la Thaïlande pas besoin de demander de visa - si le sejour prevu est de moins de 30 jours en Thailane
tampon gratuit a l'arrivée a l'aeroport pour 30 jours
pour le vietnam par contre visa obligatoire a faire avant a Paris ( visa 30 jours maxi - 1 seule entrée )
( je n'ai plus le prix exact mais de l'ordre de 50- 80 euro il me semble)
attention visa a ne demander trop longtemps d'avance - en principe a demander dans les 3 mois qui précèdent la date d'arrivée prevue au Vietnam
Eh bien merci a vous deux pour vos reponses.
Je suis plus sereine pour ce visa.
Nous n avons que 3-4 semaines de vacances , donc le parcours me parait maintenant un peu trop ambitieux.Nous allons donc rester au vietnam tout ce temps.
Merci encore 😉
prenez jjste la precaution de bien verifier les conditions climatiques
car au vietnam entre le nord le centre et le sud les conditions climatiques nont jamais ideales sur les 3 regions en meme temps
Tres bonne remarque, je me suis penchee sur le sujet et me permets donc de vous poser qq questions si vous etes d accord?
Nous allons sillonner du nord au sud, comme bcp de voyageurs peut etre.
Je serais bien partie mi-novembre, mais des imperatifs nous conduiront probablement pour un depart debut decembre.Pas le choix 🙁.Et pas trop envie de repousser ces vacances tant attendues 😎.J espere que ca ne sera pas la cohue?🤪
Ca sera Hanoi pour commencer, baie d along..Donc je note peut etre une partie ensoleillee mais surement fraiche le soir?
Et ensuite descendre progressivement vers le sud pour terminer a Phu Quoc?Chaleur en perspective?
Auriez-vous fait le parcours autrement, si vous etes en mesure de me repondre bien sur 😉.
en short et en tong
avec wnt humidite qui font que vous avez une sensation de 10 degres de temperature crachin et brouillard la baie d halong c est feerique ??
revoyez votre copie ppur le nord
par experoence et bonne connaissance du coin
regardez peut etre voetnam sud delta du mekong et remontee mekong vers le cambodge ??
Je pensais avoir lu que les temperatures etaient encore agreables en decembre.Bon, il faut dire qu on est pas parti pour un total trip en tongues 😊, il faut de tout dans un voyage, je voulais visiter Hanoi, meme avec un kway ca sera des vacances, on en a tres peu 🤪.Je me disais que plus on descendrais plus on aurait beau temps?
Je vais donc voir, je me doutais que la meteo serait de la partie 😉.
Merci encore.
peut etre alors programmer du sud vers le nord ,
mais en fait tout depend de vos billets internationaux arrivée et depart
AMicalement
LE CLIMAT au VIETNAM
De par sa géographie, le Vietnam bénéficie d'un climat chaud et humide, avec des différences importantes et des variantes du nord au sud. Au nord
- Du mois de novembre à la fin avril-début mai, le ciel gris et une pluie fine constituent presque le quotidien des habitants de la capitale et des environs : c'est le « crachin de Hanoï ». Au début et à la fin de cette période il fait entre 15 et 20°C la journée et parfois moins de 10°C la nuit. Au cœur de l'hiver, la température ne dépasse pas les 5-7° de jour.
- De mai à octobre : « l'été » : températures entre 30° et 40°C, belles journées mais aussi pluies diluviennes, surtout les mois de juillet et août.
- De septembre à novembre, le Nord peut connaître quelques typhons assez puissants, venus de la mer de Chine. Au centre
Beau temps de février à mai.
La mousson d'été se déroule de mai à novembre, mais jusqu'à la mi-août les pluies ne sont pas intenses (surtout nocturnes et de courte durée). De mai à août, ce sont les mois les plus chauds (torrides) de l'année. À Da Nang, la température moyenne maximale oscille alors entre 33 et 34 oC.
Septembre et octobre c'est l'époque des changements de mousson ; des typhons peuvent se former et s'abattre sur le littoral.
De novembre à fin janvier il pleut beaucoup, et le ciel reste souvent gris : les vietnamiens disent que le beau temps revient avec le Têt.
- Sur les hauts plateaux : à Dalat, Ban Me Thuot, Pleiku, la température est beaucoup plus fraîche que sur la côte.
- Le microclimat de Nha Trang : cette localité est réputée pour être une des villes les plus agréable du Vietnam sur le plan climatique. Mais attention à la période novembre-février, qui reste grise et pluvieuse. Au sud
Ici il n'y a que deux saisons – sèche et humide. De décembre à avril, c'est la période sèche et ensoleillée. Février est le mois où il pleut le moins de l'année. Mars et avril sont les mois les plus chauds, avec une moyenne de 34 à 35 oC.
A partir du mois de mai, la saison humide commence. Les pluies sont d'abord timides, nocturnes pour la plupart. De fin juillet à la mi-octobre c'est l'époque la plus pluvieuse. Heureusement, il ne pleut pas toute la journée, mais seulement à certaines heures (en fin d'après-midi). Ce n'est d'ailleurs pas désagréable car la pluie apporte de la fraîcheur. Attention aux crues qui peuvent se produire brutalement dans le delta du Mékong entre la mi-août et la mi-septembre.
Les billets seront pris au dernier moment donc j ai tout loisir de changer.
Merci d avoir pris le temps de me trouver ce recap.
Il est vrai que j ai quand meme envie de retrouver un peu de chaleur a me baigner dans le sud et sortir mes tongues 😛.Pour du repos quoi..
J etudie donc ce parcours.On fera peut etre le sud et autre chose apres.
Je reviens vers vous, j' ai enfin mes dates de départ pour le vietnam.
Ce sera le 3 décembre.
Je suis en train de faire nos visas 🤪.Je stresse...
Je me suis connectee au site ambassade du Vietnam.
Vu le court temps qu'il me reste, mis à part faire cela en express pour avoir nos visas rapidement, je vois qu'il faut envoyer nos passeports 😠, et si ils se perdent malgré le recommandé ?
Autre solution qui me stresserait moins, ca serait de passer par ce site, qui nous enverrait une lettre d'invitation qui nous permettrait de faire nos visas à l'arrivée?
Vous en pensez quoi?
Merci beaucoup pour vos réponses Sincèrement.

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 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,
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 there,
I’m a French citizen living in Switzerland, and I set up an RV LLC in Montana, USA. Through that, I was able to register 3 vehicles (an RV, a Jeep, and a Harley) with Montana plates.
I’d like to spend 3 months in Mexico, but it seems complicated—maybe even impossible—to cross the border from the US with all 3 vehicles.
Can anyone give me some advice?
Hi, are there any travelers who’ve recently crossed the border between Karakalpakstan (Uzbekistan) and Beineu in Kazakhstan?
It was closed for a while.
Thanks for any info!
I bought a one-way flight (Ryanair) and a return flight (EasyJet) to spend a week in Morocco in April.
My passport expires 3 weeks after the return date.
Some websites say the passport must be valid for 3 months at the time of entry.
However, it will still be valid both on entry and return, but its validity will only be 1 month at the time of entry (and 3 weeks on the return date, everything prepaid).
It's an individual family trip.
The consulate can't give me an answer—they're still looking into it (really!)
Last year, we stayed for 3 months in Thailand, north of Khao Lak, and were able to benefit from the 2-month visa exemption, renewable for one month by going to Takua Pa to validate a 1-month extension (1,900 baht).
This year, it’s a disaster for us—not only were we planning a 4-month stay, adding a visa run in between (which some say is quite risky), but the law is apparently changing in the coming months with the return of the 1-month exemption (plus the usual 1-month option). So, we looked into applying for a 6-month multiple-entry visa, allowing a maximum of 60 consecutive days in Thailand. However, I can’t find anywhere the minimum time required outside Thailand between two stays—do any of you have an idea?
Thanks for the info! If you’d like tips on Khao Lak and the surrounding areas, we’ve got some experience, though things change fast!
Cheers,
Bruno.
My partner, our 8-year-old daughter, and I are going on vacation to Gex.
We’ve decided to spend one day in Switzerland and another in Italy. Will we need ID (national ID card or passport)? Do we also need ID for our daughter?
Hello,
We’ll soon be moving to Madagascar long-term.
As a French national, I need to obtain a short-stay visa that can be converted to a long-stay one. To do this, I have to send the required documents to the Madagascar embassy in Paris.
No issues with that procedure so far.
If I get this visa, once I arrive in Madagascar, I’ll need to provide the same documents to the Ministry of the Interior in Anosy. I’m trying to find an email address or website for the Ministry to check which documents I need to submit (I think they ask for additional ones).
If you have any info on this, I’d appreciate your replies.
Best regards,
M. Buisson Eric
I’d like to know if anyone has already applied for a private visa to Russia with an invitation from a Russian resident.
I traveled earlier this year with an e-visa, but since I want to stay longer, I’ll be visiting my friend who lives in eastern Russia.
For the visa application, does the invitation need to be on an official paper form issued by the Russian ministry? And most importantly, do I need to present the original for the application, or is there an electronic version that can be sent directly to the consulate in France?
Thanks for any info if you’ve gone through this process before!
I filled out the B2 form to apply for a visa, created an account on Atvis to pay the visa fees and schedule a meet-up, but every time I try to pay with my Boursobank Visa 1st card, they refuse the payment with a message telling me to check my details (address), even though everything is correct. Does anyone know why this is happening, or maybe they don’t accept Visa cards? Are you aware of this?
Thanks for your feedback!
Elisabeth
There are rumors going around about the ETA: it must absolutely be on your smartphone in the "ETA" app.
Paper documents might not be accepted.
Is this real or just a hoax?
Thanks, I’m leaving in 3 weeks. My passport is good to go and my ETA is still valid for a year, but I only printed the email I received.
Thanks everyone.
Hi there,
We need to apply for a B2 visa because we visited Iran in 2018. It currently costs $185, but they’re planning an additional $250 fee per person for the same visa—it’s been approved but not yet implemented. Does anyone know when this fee will take effect?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
In November, we're heading off on a 4-month trip. We'll be landing in China and plan to leave the country via a land border into Vietnam.
I’ve read that China may ask for proof of exit within 30 days (flight ticket or other reservation). Since we’d be leaving by land, I’m wondering how this works in practice.
Has anyone here been in this situation recently?
Did the airline ask for an exit ticket before boarding?
Did Chinese authorities require proof upon arrival?
Is a train/bus ticket to Vietnam sufficient?
Is a cancelable or flexible reservation accepted?
Hi there,
Just a question that’s probably been asked before (though usually the other way around for my situation :))
My wife and I are heading to the US.
On her ticket, it only has her maiden name (e.g., Martine DUPOND).
On her passport, it’s written as Martine DUPOND épouse AVRY.
No issues for travel, I hope I did the right thing with the ticket?
Then for the ESTA, is just Martine DUPOND enough, or do I need to include the "épouse AVRY" part like on the passport?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I’m spending a few days in San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) and would like to cross the Argentine border to make a loop toward Salta and then return to Chile to drop off the rental car.
I’ve heard that crossing the border can be tricky!
Is it possible with a rental company’s authorization? Which company, and at what cost?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Best regards,
Arnale
I saw on the French Embassy in Peru’s website and the Peruvian Consulate in Paris’s site that the rule is to have a passport valid for 6 months *after the arrival date* (not the return date).
I arrive in Peru on August 13, 2019 (for about twelve days), and my passport is valid until February 16, 2020.
That’s 6 months and 3 days after my arrival date in Peru. In my opinion, I’m good to go.
But could I still be denied entry if they say I don’t cover the return date or that I’m too close to the 6-month mark?
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.
hi everyone,
I’m French and live in France, and my Thai girlfriend just told me she’s pregnant—she lives in Thailand. First step, a paternity test to set my mind at ease. What steps do I need to take to recognize the child? Can I do it before the birth or only after? Where do I need to go, and what paperwork is required?
Just to clarify, I want him to stay in Thailand but be able to come to France anytime without any issues!
Thanks for taking the time to read and reply.
