Les messages à ce sujet datent un peu, donc je relance un nouveau post pour avoir des infos un peu plus fraîches.
Obtenir un visa pour la Syrie à Istambul :
1- Il y a t'il une ambassade de Syrie à Istambul où l'on peut se procurer le visa syrien ?
2- En combien de temps peut-on obtenir le visa ? En une ou deux heures c'est possible ? A quel prix ?
3- On doit juste presenter deux documents : un passeport et une lettre de recommendation de l'ambassade de France à Istambul ? (et des photos d'identités ? rien d'autre ?)
Obtenir un visa pour la Jordanie :
4- En Syrie peut-on obtenir un visa pour la Jordanie à la frontière ?
5- Est-ce que c'est plus simple d'obtenir un visa pour la Jordanie à Istambul comme pour le visa Syrien ?
Visa Syrie + Jordanie ?
6- Où se procurer le visa double Syrie+Jordanie (si il existe) ?
Merci si vous avez des éléments de réponses pour quelques unes des ces questions 🙂
Juste une ptite precision. il n y a pas d'ambassade à istanbul mais des consulats. La capital de la turquie c'est ankara.
Les demandes de visa se font au consulat.
😉
Ah ok ! Je me demandais aussi si un Etat pouvait avoir deux ambassades dans un même pays. Ca me semblait hum... bizarre ! Donc ok un consulat alors... Je suis un novice dans le domaine hehe !
salut
j'ai été en jordanie il ya 3 ans mais via l'égypte ( en bateau ) et je suis sur que le visa pour la syrie ne s'obtien qu'a l'ambassade de syrie à paris si tu es francaise
en ce qui concerne la jordanie le visa sobtient sur place à l'arrivée en jordanie
Il est desormais impossible de faire un visa pour la Syrie a Istanbul (et donc en Turquie je pense).
En effet, il faut avoir une lettre de recommandation du consulat francais, mais depuis une semaine celui ci n'en delivre plus!!!
( si vous avez la lettre avant, il est possible de le faire)
Les raisons sont extremement bidon et j'ai ete le premier a en faire les frais...a 3 jours pres...😕
Finalement, j'ai fait mon visa syrien à Sofia en Bulgarie. C'est beaucoup plus rapide et plus simple qu'à Istambul étant donné qu'ils ont beaucoup moins de demandes à traiter. Je suis passé à l'ambassade de Syrie vers 12h20 et à 13h (yep, 40 minutes après!) j'en suis ressorti avec le visa en poche payé pour 22€. J'ai juste eu besoin de remplir un formulaire. Pour ce qui est des questions emmerdantes, du genre "Quel est votre point d'entrée en Syrie", le type de l'embassade s'est chargé de les remplir pour moi.
Il semble aussi qu'ils traitent toutes les demandes de visas ensemble et les délivrent à 13h, après c'est fini pour la journée. Dernier truc, n'oubliez pas une photo d'identité.
Voici l'adresse :
L'adresse: SIMEONOUSKO SHOSSE N°: 13- A SOFIA
La boîte postale: SHSSE N°: 13- A SOFIA
Le code de la ville et du pays: 003592
Numéros de téléphone: 962458- 9625742
Numéro de fax: 9625389
C'est la SEULE adresse valable. Sur internet vous en trouverez une autre (10 Hristo Georgiev St., Sofia). N'en tenez pas compte, la véritable ambassade se trouve en dehors de la ville (chopez un taxi, si ya pas d'embouteillage vous en aurez pour 2-3€ aller-retour) à l'adresse que je vous est indiqué. Voyez donc sur le site du Ministère du Tourisme Syrien :
Truc amusant : les anglais payent le visa syrien au prix double (44€). L'avantage d'être français est bien là : on les grands potes de toutes dictatures mondiales du coup on à le droit à quelques cadeaux. Les Suisses semblent aussi le payer 22€ mais rien est sur pour le Canada. Encore moins pour les Estados Unidos.
Autre détail, cochez bien NON à la question "Vous êtes vous déjà rendu dans les Territoires Occupés de Palestine?" (=Israël)
Pour entrer en Jordanie depuis la Syrie : j'ai acheté mon visa à la frontière syrienne pour 10€. Il faut payer en Dinar Jordanien donc changez votre monnaie syrienne avant de faire la queue pour rien au guichet des visas (ya un bureau de change un peu plus loin). Au passage de la frontière coté syrien, le douanier qui examinait mon passeport s'est marré en voyant mon visa. Il l'a brandit au dessus sa tête et s'est mis à gueuler (dans le bordel ambiant du poste frontière) à ses collègues des trucs en arabe, langue que je ne parle pas mais j'ai bien compris "Sofia" et un truc comme "Bulgaria". Hehe !
Petite info.
J'avais au prealable entendu que le consulat francais ne delivrait plus de lettre de recommandation pour le visa syrien.
Et bien apparemment nouvelle annee, nouvelle resolution: j'ai obtenu avant hier la lettre de recommandation du consulat francaıs. La mauvaise nouvelle c est que cette lettre m a coute 18 euros!
Ensuite aujourd hui aucun probleme a sıgnaler pour le visa syrien. Avec les documents necessaires:Lettre de recommandation consulat francaisFormulaire complete2 photos d identitesVotre passeport25 euros pour le visa
Vous obtenez votre visa le jour d apres.
Voila, cela pourra eclaircir un peu la situation.
Une reserve cependant: la delivrance de ce visa peut etre modulable selon la situation diplomatique donc renseignez vous et essayez!
Hello !
Il faut croire que tu as ete bien malchanceux, Simon... Je demens donc.
En effet, je n'ai eu aucun probleme a obtenir hier ma lettre de recommandation du consulat francais (a Istanbul).
Il m'en a coute 30 minutes d'attente et 31.05 Liras (ou 18 Euros).
Et aujourd'hui, j'ai obtenu le visa syrien.
Il faut se pointer avec 2 photos, 25 Euros pour une entree (et 15 petits jours) et la fameuse lettre entre 9:30 et 11:00 pour deposer le dossier (et remplir le formulaire), puis revenir entre 15:00 et 15:30 la meme journee pour recuperer le visa tout frais.
Seul hic de mon cote, l'employee (adorable par ailleurs) ne m'a precise a aucun moment ce que je devais faire pour avoir un multiple entree alors que j'ai mentionne la visite de la Jordanie et du Liban sur le formulaire.
Bref, mes projets pour ces 2 pays ne se simplifient pas...
Je vais appeler le consul que j'avais eu la derniere fois pour lui expliquer ce que je pense de cette histoire...🏴☠️
En tout cas j'ai pas perdu grand chose...je me suis oriente vers l'ukraine, la moldavie et la roumanie et c t sympa..
Pour la syrie etant ddonne ke je suis sur Istanbul ca pourra se faire plus tard...petite question: comment comptes tu y aller? Est ce que tu connais le temps de trajet en bus?
Merci et si ta besoin d'aide sur Istanbul n'hesite pas...
hello est que quelqu un sait ce qu il en est pour les petits belges???
a sofia ca marche pas j essaye istemboul et si ca marche pas suis niquer...(j essaye d aller a jerusalem)
non non suıs pas aussı con... maıs comme je dısaıs ca a marcher a ıstenboul maıs seulement pour les belges (et ouı on a du leur vendre plus d arme que les fr cet annee...)
Je traduis :
'non non suis pas aussi con... mais comme je disais ca a marche a istanboul mais seulement pour les belges (et oui on a du leur vendre plus d'armes que les francais cet annee...) '
Je voyageais en Europe de l'Est avant d'entrer en Turquie. Voilà pourquoi j'avais acheté le visa syrien à Sofia. Mais si tu es à Istanbul, ça fait une sacrée trotte juste pour un visa... D'autant qu'il faudrait confirmer qu'il est toujours possible de se le procurer à Sofia aussi facilement qu'il y a deux ans et demi (la réglementation change assez souvent dans ce domaine là, on dirait)
Ma femme et moi, de nationalité belge tous deux, comptons partir en janvier 2011 pour un long voyage et, parmi nos tous premiers pays, nous allons passer en Turquie, Syrie, peut-être Liban pour rendre visite à de la famille, re-Syrie, Jordanie.
Il est trop tôt pour parler avec précision et assurance de janvier 2011.
Il est trop tôt pour parler avec précision et assurance de janvier 2011.
Ok, donc d'après toi je peux encore attendre avant de me préoccuper des considérations du type visa ?
Pour le reste, par contre, si quelqu'un peut me renseigner ou me rediriger vers un post (je cherche aussi de mon côté) traitant du fameux carnet de passage en douance, et en particulier de la façon de l'obtenir en Belgique... ça m'intéresse !

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,

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 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.

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?
hehe !
