Je suis actuellement en tour du monde et compte me rendre en Chine, Mongolie et Russie dans quelques mois.
Avant de me rendre dans ces pays, je passe par le Viêt Nam, Cambodge et Thailand d'où je pense faire mes demandes de visas.
J'ai beau chercher sur le forum, je n'ai pas trouve de post récent sur les conditions (prix, délais d'obtention, etc) nécessaires pour l'obtention de ces visas.
Je suis d'ailleurs embêté car j'ai peur de ne pas avoir assez de temps pour faire toutes mes demandes a Bangkok!
Si quelqu'un a des conseils, je suis donc preneur!
Merci beaucoup!
Salut à toi
visa mongol le plus rapide à récupérer: w.w.w.mongolianconsulate.com.au/visas/Bangkok.shtml:délai 2 jours
visa russe w.w.russianembassy.biz/Thailand-Bangkok.htm : plus compliqué
Confier à une agence de voyage souvent plus réactive pour les visas complexes comme le visa chinois pas facile pour les français et dont les modalités sont fluctuantes. Des voyageurs ont essayé dans chaque capitale comme Hanoi, Pnom Penh ....certains consulats ont fourni le visa plus ou moins facilement avec des délais allongés
Bonne chance

Revenant de mon voyage, j'auto-répond a mon message en espérant que cela rende service a d'autre.
Ce topic vous concerne si vous comptez vous rendre dans différents pays d'Asie et que vous avez déjà quitte la France.
J'ai effectué toutes les démarches en arrivant a Bangkok (ou aucune demande de visa n'est nécessaire!):
- Chine: aucun visa nécessaire pour tout séjour de moins de 4 jours. (On vous délivre automatiquement un visa de 3 jours en arrivant a l'aéroport!)
Pour un séjour plus long, se rendre a l'ambassade de Chine a Bangkok. Bien se renseigner grace a leur site web de tous les documents nécessaires. Ils sont très pointilleux! Donc évitez vous un trajet pour rien en ayant tout avec vous (notamment l'appoint en monnaie locale)!
Il est possible de faire une demande express pour ceux qui sont dans l'urgence! Le prix du visa augmente en conséquence.
- Birmanie:
La aussi, l'ambassade est rodée. Ils doivent recevoir une centaine de demain de de visa par jour. Les horaires d'ouvertures sont indiquées sur leurs site web. Paiement en monnaie Thaï. Possibilité de récupérer son visa le jour même!
- Mongolie: depuis 3 semaines, il n'est plus nécessaire d'avoir un visa pour rentrer en Mongolie pour une durée inférieure a 1 mois. Attention, cette mesure est temporaire et ne doit pas durer plus d'un an normalement (a vérifier sur le site de l'ambassade). Si visa de nouveau nécessaire, se rendre a l'ambassade a Bangkok qui est très compliquée a trouver! Donc demander a votre hôtel de les appeler pour avoir l'adresse exacte (celle sur internet n'est pas bonne). Je vous conseille de prendre un taxi en sortant de la station de métro la plus proche. Ça vous évitera de galerer 1h30 comme nous pour enfin la trouver!
Comptez 3-4 jours ouvre pour la délivrance du visa!
- Russie: sûrement le plus compliquer a obtenir si vous vous rendez a l'ambassade Russe. Ils vous demanderont beaucoup de papier (justificatif assurance voyage, invitation, etc). Le plus simple est peut être de passer par une agence spécialisée. Comme nous nous rendions avant en Mongolie, nous avons déposé nos passeport a l'agence Legend Tour qui se trouve juste derrière l'ambassade. Pour 100$, ils s'occupent de tout (invitation, etc). En revanche, comptez 8-10 jours pour l'obtenir.
"...Chine: aucun visa nécessaire pour tout séjour de moins de 4 jours. (On vous délivre automatiquement un visa de 3 jours en arrivant a l'aéroport!) ..."
Inexact. On peut faire un transit maximum de 72 heures (pas moins de 4 jours) sans visa mais il y aussi plusieurs conditions. Et on ne délivre aucun visa à l'aéroport.
Merci pour les autres mises à jour.
Je viens de lire ton message « Obtention des visas Chine, Mongolie et Russie depuis l'Asie du Sud-Est » sur le site voyage-forum qui m’a beaucoup intéressé !
Je suis actuellement dans la même situation que toi. Je fais un tour du monde d’Ouest en Est et pour cette raison il m’a été impossible de faire mes demandes de visas pour la Chine et la Russie depuis la France. Je vais comme toi passer quelques mois en Asie du Sud-Est (Birmanie/Laos/Cambodge/Thaïlande) avant de terminer mon périple par la Chine, la Mongolie et la Russie (transsibérien).
Concernant les visas Chinois et Russe pourrais-tu me donner quelques précisions :
· As-tu eu besoin de présenter un certificat de résidence en Thaïlande ou une preuve que tu avais un visa de 90j comme il le demande sur leur site ?
« The Russian Embassy in Bangkok is empowered to issue Russian visas (all types except transit visas) only to foreigners who hold a Thai residence certificate or who have been granted permission to stay in Thailand continuously over 90 days. »
· As-tu eu à justifier la raison pour laquelle tu n’avais pas fait ta demande de visa de France ?
· Es-tu passé par une agence pour avoir un « Voucher » ?
« A tourist voucher IS NOT hotel booking. It is issued only by certified Russian travel agents »
· As-tu eu à présenter des tickets (avion, train, …) d’entrée et de sortie pour ces pays ? Et donc présenter un planning détaillé et daté de ton itinéraire ?
· Lorsque tu as fait ta demande de visa, es-tu resté à Bangkok ou as-tu eu la possibilité de voyager en Thaïlande sans ton passeport pendant le délai de la procédure ?
· Dans ta phrase « Comme nous nous rendions avant en Mongolie, nous avons déposé nos passeport à l'agence Legend Tour ». Je ne comprends pas bien le sens de ta phrase, le fait de passer par la Mongolie avant implique des difficultés supplémentaires lors de la demande de visa et requière donc les services d’une agence ?
· Y-a-t-il des documents à fournir qui ne seraient pas précisés sur le site des ambassades ou des astuces à savoir ?
Merci d’avance pour l’aide que tu pourras m’apporter !

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,
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?
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
Hello everyone,
Could a resident of Benin (Cotonou) kindly let me know which is the best mobile phone and internet service provider?
Thank you very much,

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. 😔
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!
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?...
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 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,

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
