Bonjour tout le monde,
Je pars en Jordanie, et j’aimerais savoir si avec le Jordan pass on peut partir à Jérusalem et puis retourner en Jordanie sans avoir à payer les frais de visa et en passant par le Pont Allenby.
J’ai déjà eu un tampon de mon entrée en Jordanie à mon arrivé à l’aeroport Et j’aimerais savoir si mon Jordan Pass est encore valable à mon retour de Jérusalem
Hello, je ne suis pas spécialiste mais si mes souvenirs sont bons pour mes recherches avant mon voyage (où j'étais passé d'Israël à la Jordanie par Aqaba) il est fortement déconseillé voir quasi-impossible d'aller en Israël pour revenir en Jordanie via le pont Allenby (aussi connu sous le nom de King Hussein Bridge). La zone est très sensible et à moins que quelqu'un relaie des informations mises à jour je ne crois donc pas cela réalisable.
Pendant mon séjour j'avais croisé des allemands qui l'avait fait mais ils avaient payé un prix exorbitant pour passer et avaient du attendre deux nuits sur place.

Votre passage date des années 30 non ? 😎 De nos jours, le passage est des plus ordinaires. Sauf qu'il faut payer les taxes. Là, c'est embêtant en effet.

Nop, 2017 😇
J'avais juste lu avant mon départ que c'était le plus compliqué des trois passages (depuis Israël) et que la sécurité y était plus renforcé et plus longue car il donne sur les territoires palestiniens et le plus cher (pour une raison qui m'échappe). Le groupe d'allemands m'avaient confirmé cela, mais comme je l'ai dis je suis passé par Aqaba donc si vous avez des informations plus sûres je vous fais confiance ;-)

Le plus gênant par King Hussein, c'est le prix à payer. Le passage sera plus long en fonction de "l'origine" des personnes qui souhaitent passer par là. Il est vrai que la sécurité y est plus contraignante. Mais ça passe sans problèmes. Et pour mémoire, cette partie des territoires est en zone C, donc sous contrôle total des forces de sécurité d’Israël.
Je me suis toujours demandé pourquoi c'était plus cher ici qu'en bas... Un effet de dissuasion peut-être.

j'envisage de passer 1 nuit à jerusalem pendant mon sejour à Amman prochainement. nous sommes 5 personnes ( famille) d’origine maghrébine ( aie.....lol)
me conseilles tu de passer par une autre frontière car, outre l'attente, le sejour (mini) risque de me couter cher.

Pour l'origine, ce n'est pas rédhibitoire. Tu ne seras pas la première, ni la dernière à visiter Jérusalem. Pour une nuit sur place, est-ce que cela vaut vraiment le coût de payer et d'attendre ? Je ne sais pas. Si tu passes par le gratuite, c'est Eilat et après il y a 5 heures de route en bus pour monter sur Jérusalem... Et autant au retour...
King Hussein Bridge est plus prés, mais c'est payant...
A toi de voir.

Bonjour,
J'atterrirai, d'ici peu, à Amman, pour y repartir trois semaines plus tard. Si je vous ai bien lu, le passage à la frontière d'Eliat est gratuit, (et, peut-être, plus rapide); toutefois, ce passage demeure-t-il gratuit dans les deux sens?
Bien à vous, Eric Guérand
NB: A noter que le prix du billet de bus, ou de train, d'Eliat à Jérusalem, équivaut, peut-être, au tarif de la taxe de sortie...

Je souhaitais savoir si vous pourriez m informer des frais que pourrai engendré une excursion amman-jerusalem-amman.
J'ai trouvé des tours opérateurs sur internet qui demandent 125€/pers. sans compter les frais de sorti/ taxes... je serai avec mon mari et mes 4 enfants, et je me dis que sur place il doit y avoir moin cher...
Merci d avance, ayant un budget a préparer et partant le 20/avril cela m aiderai énormément.
Combien de temps avez-vous prévu pour votre circuit Amman <=> Jérusalem?
Cordi@lement,
Youzi
Youzi
Une journée (7h-19) mais si les prix nous conviennent nous passerons peut être une nuit là-ba
Certains opérateurs proposent cela sur internet mais je pense qu il doit y avoir moin cher à Amman
La mosquée d alaqsa, nous tournerons certainement un peu, mais étant avec des jeunes enfants je n espère pas en faire le tour non plus, excepté si on dort là-ba
Il suffit de poser des questions pour avoir des réponses dans la mesure de mes connaissances et de mon vécu.
Cordi@lement,

Nous avons passé la frontiere via allenby bridge en famille le 10 avril, voici notre retour :
- nous avons des passeports francais ( nos origines sont tunisiennes) avec des tampons iraniens (2018), libanais ( nous venions d'un sejour de 4 j au liban)
- arrivee à amman de beyrouth, on recupère la voiture de location à l'aeroport vers 15h30, direction le pont king hussein ( allenby), visa pris directement à l'aeroport 40 dinards ( change sur place possible mais commission ou paiement par carte), ce type de visa permet de revenir de jerusalem en jordanie via allenby bridge
- grace a google maps , plan hors connexion téléchargé au préalable, et son guide gps, arrivée vers 17h sans probleme notable ( 2 bifurcations ratées mais rapidement récupérées)
- plusieurs parkings sur place, non officiels, un peu sauvage mais sans aucune crainte environ 3 dinards a payer de suite, conseil ne pas prendre le 1er car limite casse et peu rassurant
- direction la 3eme entree du poste frontalier, pour les etrangers
- aucune signalisation ni information, avancée vers la cour et entrer dans le batiment situé à coté du porche vert ou demander
- a l'interieur donner votre passeport au guichet, ensuite il vous envoi au guichet qui est en face de lui pour payer la taxe de sortie ( si vous avez passé au moins 2 nuits en jordanie, pas pour nous car on venait d'arriver, mais passage obligé ), ensuite retour au 1er guichet, il garde votre passeport
- ensuite attendre qu'on vous appelle pour monter dans le bus, 1 bus par heure
- toilettes dispo si besoin, buvette aussi, salle d'attente tres tres petite
- on appelle les gens pour le bus, 7 dinards par personne à payer dans le bus ( + 3 ou 5 dinards si bagage en soute), on vous rend passeport dans le bus
- trajet de qques minutes avec un autre controle des passeports sur le chemin par les autorités jordaniennes
- arrivée coté israélien, suivre les indications, tout est bien organisé et clair, wifi, toilettes, buvette
- au 1er controle on vous colle une etiquette avec des chiffres de 1 à 4 sur passeport, surement le niveau de sécurité que vous representer selon votre origine car la personne a juste regardé nos noms
- passage scanner bagages, passeport conservé ( que les adultes)
- apres 10 min, on nous appelle ( que les adultes), passage de nos mains et ce qu'il y a dans nos poches au detecteur explosifs puis on nous rend passeports
- second controle de police , quelques questions: pourquoi venez vous, oû logerez vous( avoir feuille ou sur smarphone votre reservation), pourquoi etes vous allez en iran au liban, cela a duré environ 15 minutes
- puis c'est bon on sort du batiment, il est 19 h
- juste avant de sortir du batiment sur la droite, bureau de change si besoin
- tout de suite en sortant du batiment, aller sur la droite, tout droit pour les taxis
- soit sherut taxi ( taxi partagé) mais taxi part que si complet (10 places), prix 42 shekel par personne (supplement si bagage coffre) , payable aussi en dollards, trajet environ 45 min, sinon taxi simple prix 100 dollards pour tous
-taxi partagé vous depose entre Herods gate et damascus gate
RETOUR JERUSALEM JORDANIE - bien faire attention aux horaires d'ouverture du king hussein bridge, fermeture 13 h vendredi notamment - les taxis partagés ( société al nijmeh située là oû on nous a déposé a l'aller, dans une cour , demander au chauffeur de l'aller oû exactement) ne fonctionnent que jusqu'à 13h, au dela la meme société vous y emmene egalement mais plus cher environ 60 dollards et sans attendre d'autres passagers - au poste frontalier israelien, passage tres simple et bien indiqué, 1er controle passeport, second guichet pour payer taxe de sortie 180 shekel par personne ( vous pouvez changer les shekel restants en dinards jordaniens a ce guichet), puis 3eme guichet pour attester de votre sortie - bus idem vers jordanie 1 par heure meme prix, wifi et toilettes dispo en attendant - sur le chemin, controle jordanien et prise de vos passeports - a l'arrivee , paiement du bus , meme batiment qu'à l'aller, pas' d'indications ni explications, aller vers le guichet et demander votre passeport - une fois passeport remis, vous sortez et c'est fini

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?
Thanks in advance for your advice

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

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. 😔
Hi,
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 everyone,
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?...
Thanks for your help

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
https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/information-par-pays/mongolie/conseils-aux-voyageurs-entree-sejour
that a visa is still required if you’re coming from Mongolia. True or false? And if true, what’s the process? Thanks

Hi there,
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 there,
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!)
Will Ryanair let me board in Beauvais in 3 weeks?
Thanks for your advice—this is a bit urgent 😕😕😕😕

Hello,
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.

Hi there,
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?
Thanks so much for your answers! 🙂

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,

Hi there,
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!
Best regards,
Gilles

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!

Hi,
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?
Thanks for sharing your experiences! 😊

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!

Hi everyone,
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?
Thanks for your feedback.

Hi there,
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?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
