salut, je m'apel rahim je suis de nationalité algerienne, je vais presque finir mes etudes et j'ai envisagé a faire un voyage touristique pour la roumanie maximum 14jours, je voulais savoir si :
c'est un visa schengen ou pas?
et si c'est un visa schengen , sachant qu'il ny a pas un vol direct je doit faire un escal, j'ai besoin d'un visa de transit ou pas ?
si il y a quelqu'un qui y etait deja, je voudrais bien savoir quels sont les document a fournir, merci
Moi en tant que Marocain en ayant le visa schengen avec une entrée et sortie c'est pas nécéssaire de demander le visa pour la Roumanie, mais si t'as aucun visa schengen en cour tu dois le demander auprès de leurs consultat.
j'ai envisagé au passé de visiter ce pays et j'avais le visa schengen avec une sortie et entrée mais je l'ai pas fais vu que les vols étaient chers mon pote
La Roumanie est hors Schengen dc visa necessaire sauf titulaire d une carte de resident francais (valable 10a) ou pr les titulaired d un titre de sejour conjoint de francais s ils voyagent avec ledit conjoint.
Bref un titre de sejour Schengen n est pas forcement suffisant pr aller en Roumanie....en esperant que les choses avancent au niveau europeen et que l adhesion de la Romanie ainsi que de la Bulgarie finisse enfin par etre actée....des années que ca traine cette histoire.
Pour les Marocains, on peut voyager en Roumanie et Bulgarie en ayant au moin une entrée et une sortie par un etat membre de l'union européene et sinon on demande leurs visa.
je suis de nationalité algerien et je vis en algérie,
donc la roumanie fait partie de lunion europen mais pas un visa schengen, un visa roumain ..c ce que j'ai compris..et si j'ai un visa roumain, je doit avoir un visa de transit ? et c'est la premier foi que je veux aller en europe,
si c'etait un visa schengen j'ai pas a m'inquité e probleme que c'est un visa roumain et esque je doi avoir un visa de transit (trans, t par la france , allemagne , italie , turquie)
Tout dépend de ce que tu veux, alors dans ton cas tu dois obtenir le visa pour la Roumanie, sans demander un autre visa transit puis à l'arrivée à l'aéroport on te fait passer par la zone d'embarquement de ton avion pour la Roumanie.
( Juste pour ta connaissance fait attention en arrivant las-bas ne fait pas trop confiance aux gens désolé pour ce conseil que peut etre dérangera un lecteur Roumain, mais c'est de las-bas ou viennent les bandes de voleurs et d'arnaqueurs en plus ils sont trés professionels, vu que t'es jamais allé en europe c'est un petit conseil pour toi mon pote.)
Tu demandes là ou se trouve le consultat de Roumanie en Algérie puis tu consultes les papiers à fournir biensur, oublie l'agence de voyage ils vont pas s'occuper de ton visa pour la Roumanie, c'est l'arabie saoudite qui fait ça pour les pélérins quand tu donnes ton passeport à l'agence, demande en premier les papiers a fournir puis tu poses ton dossier chez les Roumains je pense que c'est pas compliqué leurs visa.
- Formulaire de demande de visa de court séjour original, correctement et lisiblement rempli, daté et signé personnellement par le demandeur du visa.

- Original du passeport en cours de validité (la durée de validité est supérieure de 6 mois à la date du visa et doit contenir au moins une page vierge afin d'y apposer un visa).
- Photocopie des 5 premières pages du passeport, ainsi que de toutes les pages comportant des visas ou des cachets d'entrée et de sortie de l'espace Schengen, des Etats-Unis et de la Grande-Bretagne.

je voulais savoir si je doit passé par une agence de voyage ou organisé mon voyage seul !
sachant que je suis etudiant je vais presque finir mes etudes je voulais faire un voyage
Rahim c'est sur que t'as une copine las-bas looooool j'en doute pas😉😉 et surtout qu'elles sont belles les Roumaines😛
à Mon avis tu organises tout seul ton Voyage sans compter sur l'agence car dans le maghreb ils font pas des voyages organisé pour la Roumanie.
NB: pour bien t'aider à avoir ton visa sache bien que la résérvation du billet aller/ retour et de l'hotel doivent etre correcte et bien après ta demande de visa c'est à dire la première chose que tu dois faire c'est contacter le consulat Roumain d'algerie pour qu'il te donnent un RDV afin de préparer tout les documents à temps et biensur avoir ton visa facilement.
oui c'est vraie j'ai une amie la bas
mais comment ils vont m'accepté le visa si j'ai pas un lien avec une agence de voyage ?
et aussi il me faut le billet original, pas la reservation du billet , je comprend rien
Si tu connais quelqu'un dans une agence en Algérie dis lui qu'il te réserve le billet d'avion et qu'il te fasses une résérvation d 'hotel et une fois tu obtiens le visa tu le payes et si jamais tu obtiens pas ton visa c'est pas l'enfert pour une agence de voyage ils vont annuler ton vol et séjour et tu payes les frais du service. pas grand chose.
moi je pensais que tu voulais contacter une agence pour un voyage organisé ou bien qu'ils s'occupe de ton visa ça c'est impossible.
Prépare les documents à fournir, et demande ton visa au consulat de Roumanie, je sais pas comment ça se passe las-bas mais à ma connaissance c'est pas un visa trés compliqué juste tu dois leurs fournir tout les papiers nécéssaire...réservation de billet, et de vols tu le fais auprès d'une agence chez toi en Algérie.
salut
si le but de ton voyage est de voir ton amie, je te conseille de tenter le visa de bulgarie, il est pas compliqué à avoir.
Ta copine peut te rejoindre làbas.
je te conseille de passer par istanbul, ensuite aller en bulgarie par bus.
tu verras il y a de belles choses à voir en Bulgarie.
bon courage

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!

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!
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!
Best,
Seb
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.
