Bonjour Sisous,
Merci pour votre réponse.
Et pardon à Lt31 de rajouter quelques questions à sa demande, mais qui sont totalement dans le sujet initial.
Nous avons l'intention d'aller en Iran en moto au printemps. Nous sommes trois, et habitons loin de Paris. Par conséquent, nous avions l'intention de passer par un organisme payant pour faire la demande de ce visa iranien, mais l'obligation absolue de faire prendre les empreintes à l'ambassade d'Iran à Paris (et pas ailleurs) nous donnent envie de changer d'option, et de tout faire par nous-mêmes, afin de rentabiliser l'obligation du déplacement !
Je vois donc que vous confirmez que la prise d'empreintes peut être réalisée en même temps.
Du coup, pour ne pas nous déplacer pour rien, voici nos questions : - Doit-on prendre un RDV à l'ambassade, ou bien la seule méthode est-elle de se pointer là-bas et de faire la queue ? - La demande de visa se fait-elle au même endroit que la prise d'empreintes ? - Par quoi doit-on commencer ? La prise d'empreintes ? Ceci signifie-t-il qu'il faille faire la queue d'abord pour la prise d'empreintes, ensuite pour la demande du visa dans une autre pièce ? Si oui, les deux actions peuvent-elles être facilement faites dans la même matinée ?
L'ambassade d'Iran demande : - de remplir ce document sous forme dactylographiée : est-ce exact ? Que faut-il répondre concernant l'adresse en Iran, puisque nous nous déplacerons quotidiennement, et que nous ne faisons aucune réservation d'hôtel ?! - de fournir un N° d'autorisation de visa du Ministère iranien des Affaires étrangères ou lettre d'invitation de l'hôte iranien ou réservation d'hôtel couvrant toute la durée du séjour en Iran. Comment fait-on pour avoir ce numéro d'autorisation ? Ou si c'est une lettre d'invitation (nous avons un contact à l'arrivée), est-elle normalisée ?
Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

en fait il faut juste remplir le document que vous telecharger sur leur site en ecriture normale et mettre juste le nom d un hotel de tabriz par exemple hotel mashad (ex. ) + no de telephone pas besoin de reservation a faire avant dr monter a paris ensuite arriver 1 h avant l ouverture de l ambassade prendre 1 ticket a l entrée on vous appelle et tous les 3 vous donnez vos documents elles verifie qu ils sont rempli correctement vous demandez 30 jours e t une lettre recommandée a vos 3 noms cela vous economisera 2 envoies ils sont bien organisé a l ambassade et une semaine aprés vous avez le visa .pour nous 2 cela c est passé comme décrit ci-dessus je reconnais que c est un peu stressant de faire les démarches mais il n y a pas de raison pour que la demande n aboutisse pas. par contre nous étions a velo mais on ne le mentionne pas pour la moto idem . bonne lecture et a votre dispo cecile
sisous
Merci beaucoup pour les précisions, super sympa.
En vélo : là, j'avoue qu'étant motard, je suis toujours admiratif des cyclotouristes voyageurs, vous êtes incontestablement les plus forts !
Votre réponse est très encourageante.
Il nous faudra 3 envois, nos adresses sont différentes et éloignées. Par contre, nous avons bien l'intention d'y aller ensemble.
La prise des empreintes se passe au même guichet ?
Je suis très étonné concernant le simple fait de mentionner un hôtel ! Quand avez-vous demandé votre visa ? Récemment ?
bonjour
tu vas faire du chemin pour faire ton visa
ma propre expérience octobre 2015: il nous a fallu la réservation du 1er hôtel pour avoir notre visa (heureusement pas les suivants car nous ne les avions pas ) : nous sommes donc revenues car nous ne l'avions pas la première fois : je voudrais t'éviter ce désagrément mais cela dépend peut-être de ton interlocuteur
une attestation d'assurance pour la durée du voyage
50 euros
le document rempli
OK, merci de ton témoignage, Anneorange.
Oui, je pense que nous irons avec une invitation, histoire de ne pas devoir y revenir par deux fois.
je confirme que pour la demande de visa iranien, j'avais aussi eu mon visa en donnant 2-3 adresses d'hôtel dans lesquels je n'avais pas forcément réservé, aussi bien en 2014 qu'en 2015. Je ne me souviens plus si j'avais mentionné sur ma demande de visa que j'allais voyager à vélo (peut-être la 2e fois, car je rentrais et sortais par les frontières terrestres). NB: j'avais rencontré ensuite un motard qui avait traversé l'Iran. Le plus compliqué pour lui, ce n'était pas le visa, mais le carnet de passage en douane pour son véhicule. Je ne peux par contre pas vous renseigner à ce sujet, et vous avez peut-être déjà prévu ça.
Bonjour Meg2, merci de ces précisions.
"deux-trois adresses d'hôtel, mention du vélo" : ceci veut-il dire que vous avez écrit ça sur une feuille de papier à part, ou bien "casé" ça dans le document à remplir ?
Pour le CPD, oui, nous allons passer par Hossein, iranien par lequel de nombreux motards sont passés avec succès.
Pour le visa à Paris, avec les empreintes, nous envisageons de plus en plus d'en faire la demande à Batumi/Géorgie, à la lecture de certaines discussions sur le forum.
Je suis en train de lire le récit de votre voyage en Iran : impressionnant !
L'épisode avec les loups !
Une étape de plus de 130 km
Les cyclotouristes sont toujours les plus intrépides, il y a bien longtemps que je l'ai remarqué.
oui, enfin, les loups, j'en ai entendu parler, mais pas vus ni entendus. Les 136 km, c'était avec un bon vent de dos. 😎
Et réciproquement, moi, j'ai été impressionnée par un motard qui avait pris la même route que moi au Tadjikistan, en solo : contrairement aux cyclistes, lui, il n'avait pas droit à l'erreur dans les traversées de gués. Il ne fallait pas que sa moto tombe. Alors qu'un vélo, c'est facile à relever.
Bonjour Sisous?
pour l'Iran ce sera au printemps pour nous, avec un départ le 2 avril 2017.
Peux tu me confirmer que pour obtenir un visa à Paris il faut se présenter à l'ambassade avant l'ouverture, prendre un ticket et attendre avec les pièces suivantes:
*le passeport plus une photocopie de la première page
*le formulaire de demande rempli à la main avec une ou deux photos( tête couverte pour les femmes?)
*un nom d’hôtel et téléphone pour la première nuit à Téhéran pour nous( je n'arrive à obtenir une réservation à l’hôtel Asia par exemple )
* l’itinéraire
*l'attestation d'assurance rapatriement
*déposer nos empreintes au même guichet
*plus des enveloppes timbrées suffisamment pour un envoi du visa en recommandé
Pas besoin du numéro d'autorisation auprès d u ministère d es affaires étrangères iranien.
nous sommes en province si on pouvait éviter d e revenir en raison d'un oubli, on aimerait...
Merci à toi et à la communauté qui a fait la même démarche, pour des précisions.
Martine Froelich
oui la liste je ne l ai plus en téte mais sur un post précedent c est ecrit pour les photos pas la peine du foulard par contre je ne comprend pas que tu aille a paris de povince alors que tu arrive a téhéran tu peut le prendre a l aéroport et ensuite de le prolonger, a moins que tu ai des raisons de faire autrement cecile
sisous
Cécile bonjour
nous arrivons vers minuit à Téhéran et comme l'attente peut être longue je pensais que c était plus simple et sécurisant d'avoir le visa avant mais ce numéro l'autorisation demandé me perturbe et je voulais être certaine que finalement il n était pas exigé et que des noms de hôtel allaient suffire.
Merci pour tes commentaires
martine
bonjour
pas de photo tête couverte pour les femmes (par contre ne comptez pas y déroger une fois sur place)
le nom de l'hôtel ne suffisait pas : j'ai du produire un email faisant état de la réservation pour le jour de mon arrivée
Merci de ces précisions !
oui nous savons que sur place c est le régle du foulard qui prévaut.
Combien de nuit d hôtel as tu dû prouver par une réservation ?
avais tu un numéro d autorisation de visa ou ces réservations ont elles été suffisantes?
Merci
Non pas de numéro d autorisation.nous avions 2 nuits réservées

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.

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?
Thanks in advance for your advice

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?
Thanks for your help! !

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.

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.
