bonjour Juste une expérience 😉
Est-ce que c'est possible de traverser les frontières Russe Estonie Sans visa J'ai fait mes recherches
La plus proche ville et narva
Si vous n'avez pas besoin de visa pour entrer en Estonie, rien ne vous empêche de traverser la frontière dans le sens Russie -Estonie
sauf si vous voulez ré-entrer en Russie ultérieurement. Dans ce cas, avoir un visa avec tampon d'entrée mais pas de tampon de sortie va poser problème. Quant au sens inverse, inutile d'en discuter je pense
Entièrement d'accord mais Bachirhiker parlait du sens Russie Estonie.
Il est vrai que de vouloir re-entrer en Russie sans le tampon de sortie c'est sportif....😉
Cette frontière de création récente à l'intérieur de l'ex URSS n'a pas été matérialisée avec la même rigueur qu'ailleurs. Pas de barrière barbelée, de bande de de sable ratissée, de miradors, ni de caméras. Raisons pour laquelle il est envisagé de la renforcer à court terme.
La franchir "hors la loi" ne serait pas puni sévèrement ?
Tout fout le camp !
Ce pauvre Beria doit se retourner dans sa tombe...
a mon avis je pense qu il veux savoir si il peux rentrer clandestinement en russie, mais je peux me tromper sur ces intentions , qui ce rassure les russes sont compréhensible ils le laisserons passer, même lui paye l'hôtel pour ce reposer, la question n est pas claire pour moi,
Ma question est-ce que je peux passer Les frontières entre la Russie et Estonie Sans visa Est-ce que je peux ou pas Avec vélo merci La ville qu'elle š'appelle Narva Regarder dans Google Maps
Je vous ai déjà répondu , si vous n'avez pas besoin de visa pour entrer en Estonie vous n'aurez pas de problème , a condition d'être en règle avec les Russes .
Le moyen de transport ne change rien , mais cela risque d'être long...
Ma question est-ce que je peux passer Les frontières entre la Russie et Estonie Sans visa Est-ce que je peux ou pas Avec vélo merci
si déjà tu nous donnais des infos sur toi ...tu es de quelle nationalité ? si tu passes de Russie en Estonie, tu es donc déjà en Russie, es-tu Russe ? Si non tu dois avoir déjà un visa Russe, si tu es français tu peux entrer sans problème en Estonie (carte identité suffit ou passeport), mais si tu es Russe tu dois mieux le savoir que nous .... sinon renseigne-toi auprès des services de ton pays ...
Qui boit l'eau d'une terre étrangère doit en suivre les coutumes (proverbe Mongol)
ta pas compris la réponse , ci tu n a pas de visa sur ton passeport tu ne rentre pas en russie , вы поняли , et ci tu na pas de papiers , tu rentre en russie , les russes t 'héberge dans un hôtel cinq étoiles long séjours en compagnie de camarades simpa , va s y fonce , a une question vélo c est un sicle ou un pote a toi comme tu a dit que tu aller avec tes potes , faut un visa a vélo aussi,
добрый вечер

sauf lorsqu'on visite l'Abkhazie: pas de tampon à la sortie de Russie à Sotchi, pas de tampon au retour en Russie à Sotchi. Mais bon, c'est évidemment un cas particulier très singulièr.
J'avoue avoir un peu de mal à concevoir une visite en Ossétie du Sud..... 🤪
La Transniestrie, oui, d'ailleurs j'y suis allé, mais là, c'est vraiment très petit et très isolé.

savez-vous si c'est pareil entre Russie et Ossétie du sud ?

à propos, je prévois d'aller dans le Nord Caucase cet été : savez-vous si c'est pareil entre Russie et Ossétie du sud ?
non, je ne sais pas. N'ai pas voyagé en Ossétie du sud.
http://www.mfa-rso.su
ceci-dit, selon ce témoignage de voyageur (non-russe) en 2016, c'est comme l'Abkhazie: visa russe multi requis et pas de tampons entrée/sortie. Mais leur site n'est pas aussi fonctionnel et simple que celui de l'Abkhazie, avec une procédure d'autorisation un peu différente (pas de pdf tamponné par courriel, à imprimer et présenter à la frontière, mais simple enregistrement sur une liste, après avoir payé 100€, et carte entrée/sortie ossète uniquement):
http://caravanistan.com/trip-reports/south-ossetia/
The ‘разрешение’ (permission to enter) is not a document you see. It’s just sent by Vadim to the checkpoint. It’s not cheap – about 100 euros. If your name is on the list you’re in, if not you won’t be let through. You get an entry card which is stamped and then taken when you leave the territory – make a photo of it as your souvenir. Note that the Russian side will not stamp your passport when you exit Russia, nor when you re-enter; they will only stamp your new entry card when you get in. This implies that as far as your passport is concerned, it’s never visible you left Russia for South Ossetia.

chacun ses goûts 😛
Comme je prévois de visiter l'Ossétie du Nord (et une ou 2 autres républiques voisines, en fonction des permis que j'aurai) , ça me semble au contraire très naturel de faire un petit tour en Ossétie du sud ! Il y a de magnifiques routes ou pistes de montagnes frontalières, dont un très beau col que je n'ai pas pu atteindre depuis le côté géorgien en 2011 (la police géorgienne ne m'avait pas autorisé à monter les 10 derniers kilomètres)

Une République non reconnue et décalée, ce serait assez dans mes goûts, mais je ne suis pas assez "nature" pour être sûr d'en apprécier dans le cas présent les atouts singuliers.
il n'y a pas que la montagne qui est intéressante dans le Caucase. La mosaïque de peuples, avec des origines, histoires et langues parfois très différentes, est assez fascinante. Mais cet aspect est difficilement accessible sans guide si vous ne parlez pas russe.
Sûrement, oui.
Il se trouve qu'ayant ma dose de ruralité dans la vie, je tiens quand même à prendre les choses par le côté urbain ; Vladikavkaz pourrait m'aller, Tskhinvali est vraiment trop petite. Gori, pas grande non plus mais moins isolée. L'insularité me fait peur.

Kishinev n'est pas en Transniestrie, la capitale en est Tiraspol.
Je n'y ai pas passé beaucoup de temps, à Tiraspol, mais je ne m'y suis pas senti mal.
J'aime bien Kishinev, ville plutôt aérée, avec des "prospekts". Un petit côté Tirana, aussi....
Votre configuration ne me permet pas de répondre à vos MP....
si cela t'intéresse j'ai un ami motard qui vie a Piatigorsk, il pourra te renseigner. voir t'accompagner dans certains endroits;

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!

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,

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?
