Bonjour Fredo,
actuellement deja en nouvelle caledonie, nous voulions voir si ns ns accliamaterions bien ici et si notre chien serait le bienvenu. Comme c'est positif, j'ai fait la demande aupres de la sivap pour avoir un permis d'importation et la aussi reponse positive pour un vol en janvier. Cependant lorsque je contacte air france fret il me renvoies sur une boite de transit, je ne comprends pas . Pourrais tu m'indiquer precisement ce que tu as du faire apres avoir reçu ton permis d'importation( transport, cage, nourriture ...), sachant qu'en ce qui nous concerne c une personne en metro (en province) qui garde notre chien en attendant ? Qu'a tu penser de la quarantaine ? (j'ai un animal qui est un peu acariatre avec les inconnus!!! il faut bien etre honnete) Si tu peux m'aider, je suis perdue et j'ai hate de retrouver mon toutou.
Merci bcp d'avance pour ta reponse.

bonjours pour prendre le billet d'avion pour ton chien il faut le réserver 13 jours avant le départ noté sur ton permis d'importation je te donne le numéro de téléphone du service réservation de bordeaux 05 56 34 59 00 pour le calcul du prix c pas difficile il faut que le chien puisse se tenir debout dans la cage et qu'il puisse se retourner et se coucher donc tu multiplies la longueur par la largeur et la hauteur et tu divise par 6000 et tu multiplies par 28.80 euros ça te donnera le prix du billet plus 90 euros de frais de dossier environ.pour la quarantaine et le caractére de ton chien ne t'inquiète pas ils ont l'habitude, ils se demandent un peu ce qu'il leur arrive donc ce n'est pas pareil et puis se sont des véto ils ont l'habitude de tous ça voila j'espère que j'ai répondu à tes questions pour notre part nous serons sur le caillou le 28 octobre qui c peut être qu'on se verra la bas

bonjour fredo
je suis francais ma femme aussi nous avons un fils de 15 ans un berger allemand et un york
nous sommes actuellement a agadir mais de plus en plus decu du maroc nous pensons aller sur le caillou
comment se passe la quarantaine mes chiens sont vraiment attacher a moi et ne mange pas avec n'importe qui
ca dure vraiment 40 jours ?
en france et au maroc il sont en regle a tous points de vue (vaccin, puce electonique etc...)
ma femme voudrai ouvrir un petit snack nous etions restaurateur en france
au maroc elle s ennuie les femmes ne peuvent plus rien faire
et moi travailler dans l immobilier ou ouvrir un club de plongee et de peche au gros je suis moniteur de plongee
y a t il des debouches pour mon fils il voudrait bosser dans les animaux
pour revenir aux chiens comment ca se passe pendant les escales
je te remercie d avance
philippe fabienne brice et les chiens
bonjour, pour les chiens c'est un peu le parcour du combattant et un cout pas négligeable la quarantaine dure 30 jours il t'en coutera 576 euros par chiens bien sure il faut qu'il soit à jours des vaccins et il faut en plus un tirage d'anticorps anti rabique cout 77 euros par chiens plus le prix du billet d'avions et tous les papier à remplir que tu peux avoir sur le cite que je donne un peu plus haut il faut réserver la quarantaine au moins 3 mois avant le départ car il prenne un vol phytosanitaire spécial dont le sivap te donne lors de l'autorisation d'importation les animaux sont tres bien traités mais je pourrai t'en dire plus demain car je récupère mes chiens demain matin car je suis sur le caillou depuis seulement un mois et heureux de les récupérer ils m'ont apelé des leur arrivée pour me donner des nouvelles (super sympa)au moindre problème il t'apelle tout de suite donc serieux.
Au sujet de l'emploi il y en a partout et tous les tarifs donc il faut trier pour la restauration c'est une bonne idée mais assez difficile de trouver des locaux intérréssant et ils sont très cher mais comme on dit ici tout est possible. Par contre pour ton fils dans la filière animaux ça risque d'être dure car pas grand chose ici à par les chevaux et le bétail mais il faut aller dans le nord de l'île mais la je ne connais pas donc je m'abstiendrai de tous commentaires mise à part ça les gens sont super sympa et d'une gentillesse exemplaire et très polis de surcroît donc la vie y est agréable c'est vrai que c'est un peu cher par contre et il y a des chose ou c'est vraiement exagéré comme le mobilier l'informatique l'électroménageret tous ce qui concerne le bricolage la ils ont la palme d'or pour te donner un exemple un vulgaire rouleau de grillage simple torsion en 1.20m de haut coûte la bagatelle de 18000 cfp ce qui fait environ 150euros une boite aux lettres simple rectangulaire 20000cfp t'a qu'a voir ça fait drôle mais bon il ne faut pas s'arrêter à ça voila j'ai fait un peu le tour si tu as besoin d'autres renseignement n'hésite pas fredo
bonjour fredo et merci de ta reponse rapide
pour les chiens ce que tu appelles anti corp de la rage ca doit etre ce que l on m a demande pour le maroc
RAGE SERONEUTRALISATION CONTROLE VACCINAL
qui m a coute 77 €
as t on le droit de les voir pendant la quarantaine
comment ca se passe pendant les escales de l avion
pour mon fils si il peut travailler avec des cheveaux ca lui ira tres bien
il aurai voulu etre veto mais au maroc impossible
peut etre comme assistant ca serai possible
et toi que fais tu sur le rocher
as tu fais venir des meubles avec toi
comment ca se passe et le prix
je ne peux pas partir en laissant mon fils sans ses affaires, ses "jouets"
je ne peux pas le depayser de trop
au maroc on a tout fait venir par container
de plus j ai 4 micro si tu dis qu ils sont ohor de prix il vaut mieux les amener
merci de toute tes reponses et une grosse carresse a tes chiens de ma part
philippe
re bonsoir car chez nous il est 22h12 oui pour les chiens c'est bien se teste là pour les meuble j'ai tous vendu en france donc il a fallu tout racheter ici mais bon je crois que le prix pour le contener est de 300 euros le m3 pour les ordi il vaut mieux que tu les ramènent pour les chiens on peut aller les voir qu'une seul fois mais eux ne pourront pas te voir car ça les perturberai encore plus pour ma part je n'y est pas été car ils m'auraient senti et ça peut le faire plus de mal que de bien au fait pour les loyer de maison ils sont un peu cher ils faut compter en moyenne 130000cfp à170000cfp donc entre 1100 euros et 1500 euros nous pour l'instant nous fesons un peu les touristes et nous attendons quelques emploi assez interressant si tu veux on peut discuter sur msn messenger si tu l'a c plus facile en plus nous avons la cam fred

bonjour
je me permet de vous écrire pour vous demander qlqs renseignements consernant les animaux.En locurence j'aimerais amener avec moi dans mes bagages mes 3 chats.pouvez vous me dire les formalités ainssi que les tarifs.Merci
bonjour,
les formalitées sont assez longue et couteuse il faut t'y prendre au moins 4 mois avant ton départ.
Il faut toute les vaccinations à jour ainsi que le tirage anticorps rage si mes souvenir sont bon il t"en coutera 67 euros par chat
Il faut demander le permis d'importation auprés de la davr je te donne le site tu as tous les renseignement et le cout c:www.davar.gouv.nc.
il te faudra payer la moitié des frais de quarantaine d'avance pour l'obtention du permis environ 600euros puis l'autre moitié en arrivant sur le terrictoire donc un total d'environ 1200euros.
par contre tu ne peux pas les emmener sur ton vol ils viennent exclusivement par vol phytosanitaire (par fret spécial)c la davar qui te donne le jour et le numéro de vol autorisé, il faut réserver la quarantaine au moins 3 mois à l'avance car ils ont 1 mois de quarantaine.
Il te faudra des caisses de transport omologuées une par animal agréé IATA il faut que ton animal puisse se tenir debout et se retourner à l'aise il faut qu'elle soit au moins 10 cm plus haut que ton chat.
Aprés tu as le billet d'avion qu'il te faudra demander auprés de la compagnie AIR FRANCE cargo il procéde à un calcul de rapport poids volume plus la caisse est grande plus ça coutera chère il faut compter environ 300 à 400 euros par chat mais tu peux négocier le tarif avec le commerciale moi de 1600 euros j'ai pu obtenir 1300 euros ce n'est pas négligeable j'avais 2 jack russel et un chiwawa ils ne sont pas plus gros que des chats .
Le cout total pour moi m'a été de 4000 euros en tout voila
J'espère d'avoir éclairé sur ta demande c'est un gros budget et un sacré casse tête ha oui il faut que ton véto leur face les passeport européens qui coute environ 220 euros par chat
fredo

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,
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?
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 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’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

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.

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! 🙂

Thanks for your RECENT experiences!

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!
Best regards,
Arnale
