Bonjour,
Nous partons dans une semaine pour la thailande mais une chose me titille. Voilà c'est un peu compliqué :
Nous partons à deux adultes et un enfant.
Moi : mon passeport
Ma copine : Divorcée, son passeport est à son nom de jeune fille. Ella a la garde de :
l'enfant : Il a son propre passeport, à son nom de famille, celui de son père et par conséquant différent de celui de sa mère;
En Bref, nous partons à deux adultes et un enfant chacun son passeport mais le petit porte un nom différent de celui de sa mère. Cela rique t i l de nous poser problème vis à vis des autorités françaises et / ou thai ?
Nous avons prévu d'emmenner le livret de famille au cas ou... Est ce suffisant ?
Merci de vos réponses
Merci Youpi. J'ai recopié ce que dit le lien ca aidera peut etre d'autres inquiets comme moi ! Donc apparemment la seule possession du passeport suffit. Comprenez vous la même chose que moi ?
Les démarches nécessaires au franchissement des frontières nationales par les mineurs de nationalité française varient selon la destination, l'âge et la situation familiale.
Les différents documents permettant la sortie du territoire sont :
1- Le passeport
Tout mineur, quel que soit son âge, peut obtenir un passeport individuel avec l'autorisation de son représentant légal. La possession de ce document, en cours de validité, est suffisante pour permettre au mineur de franchir la frontière.
Attention : les inscriptions de mineurs sur les passeports des parents, y compris les passeports "ancien modèle" dits passeports Delphine, sont désormais impossibles. Les mineurs doivent être titulaires d'un passeport individuel.
Par ailleurs, les droits des parents sur l'exercice de l'autorité parentale ayant été modifiés depuis la loi n° 87-570 du 22 juillet 1987, il peut arriver qu'une décision judiciaire subordonne la sortie du mineur à l'accord des deux parents.
Mention en est alors portée sur le passeport établi.
Rappelons qu'il existe plusieurs modes d'exercice de l'autorité parentale :
l'autorité parentale conjointe ;
l'autorité parentale exercée par un seul parent ;
l'autorité parentale exercée par le tuteur ;
cas de retrait total ou partiel ou de délégation d'autorité : autorité parentale exercée par l'un des deux parents ou une tierce personne ;
l'autorité parentale en cas d'abandon d'enfant.
2- L'autorisation de sortie du territoire français
Chaque fois qu'un mineur est appelé à se rendre dans un pays auquel la carte nationale d'identité permet l'accès, il convient d'appliquer les règles suivantes :
accompagné d'une personne titulaire de l'autorité parentale, le mineur peut quitter le territoire, sous le couvert de sa carte nationale d'identité en cours de validité (ou d'un passeport, même périmé depuis moins de 5 ans, sauf pour la Grande-Bretagne, la Finlande et le Danemark).
mais s'il voyage seul ou avec un tiers, il devra présenter en plus une attestation de sortie du territoire français, délivrée, à la demande du titulaire de l'autorité parentale, par le maire de la commune de résidence et dont la durée de validité peut aller de 1 mois à 5 ans.
Les pièces à fournir sont, selon la situation :
le livret de famille,
un justificatif de domicile,
la décision de justice statuant sur l'exercice de l'autorité parentale ou la délibération du conseil de famille désignant le tuteur.
En cas de doute, le maire peut demander aux services de police ou de gendarmerie ou à la préfecture une consultation du fichier des personnes recherchées pour s'assurer qu'aucune mesure d'opposition à la sortie du territoire n'y est inscrite.
3- Le laissez-passer
Les jeunes français de moins de 15 ans peuvent entrer en Belgique, au Luxembourg, en Suisse et en Italie, sans passeport ni carte nationale d'identité ni attestation de sortie du territoire, sur présentation d'un laissez-passer délivré gratuitement par les services préfectoraux, sur autorisation du parent titulaire de l'autorité parentale, et valable pour un ou plusieurs voyages dans la limite de trois mois à compter de sa délivrance.
En effet le passeport suffit sauf mention contraire. En plus vu que ta copine a la garde de l'enfant il n'y a aucun problème. Prenez le livret de famille avec vous, on sait jamais !! 😉
Tout mineur, quel que soit son âge, peut obtenir un passeport individuel avec l'autorisation de son représentant légal. La possession de ce document, en cours de validité, est suffisante pour permettre au mineur de franchir la frontière.
juste, ,
le document doit également mentionner qui est responsable du mineur, ,
dans ce domaine j'en connais un rayon, , je possède un passeport individuelle depuis l'âge de 7 mois, , et mon premier vol en avion seul, , et a 8 mois, , ,

Le passeport ne mentionne pas qui est reponsable du mineur c'est ca mon probleme. Il parait que les nouveaux passeport contiennent ces informations.....a vérifier.
Qu'en penses tu ? Risquons nous 'avoir un probleme?
Nous devons nous envoler pour les Açores vendredi (le 18 juillet 2014) et je viens de réaliser que le passeport de ma fille (7 ans) est périmé depuis le 29…
Avec les nouveaux passeports biométriques mis en service ;si on posséde un passeport antécédent (encore valable) peut-on y rajouter son enfant (2 ans) ou…
Mon fils vient d'avoir une petite fille avec une Thai, le bébé a son passeport français et le thailandais. est ce qu'il peut rentrer en France seul avec sa…
Je vais bientôt être papa (pour la 2e fois) d'un bébé à naître sur le sol indien et dont la maman est indienne. Je voulais savoir quelles étaient les démarches…
J'ai un passeport avec un enfant dessus et concernant la validité de ce document il y a une chose que je ne comprends pas. Ce passeport m'a été délivré en 2003…
je suis un peu embarrassé car je dois voyager au Québec du 27 février au 13 mars. Je suis un habitué du Canada, 10ème voyage depuis 1997 + 1 an comme résident permanent (2000-2001) + 1 traversée en course à pied de Vancouver à Halifax en 2011.
Je ne suis donc pas vraiment un terroriste ! 😇
Mais, depuis notre dernier voyage en juillet 2015, il y a cette AVE qui a été inventée. Façon de faire un peu d'argent plus que d'assurer la sécurité du Canada à mon avis, mais bon, ce n'est pas le sujet.
J'ai fait la demande d'AVE pour moi, ma femme et mes 2 enfants. Ils ont tous reçu une réponse positive dans les heures qui ont suivi, mais pas moi !!!! Il m'a été demandé de créer une clé GC puis un compte IRCC. Ce que j'ai fait. On a normalement des nouvelles sous 72h, mais depuis le lundi 15 janvier, rien !
Dans la rubrique "message" de ce compte, il y a "lettre d'explication (requis)" avec la date butoir du 25 janvier, mais je ne trouve aucune explication nulle part, malgré des recherches sur le site du gouvernement Canadien ou sur Google. Aucun lien, rien !
Je leur ai écrit, pas de réponse pour l'instant. Je pense appeler l'ambassade du Canada demain à Paris. Même si je ne stresse pas pour le moment, ça m'emmerderait de laisser partir tout le monde sans moi ! 🤪
Si quelqu'un a déjà eu ce souci ou sait ce qu'est cette lettre d'explications, je serai ravi d'en savoir plus.
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?...
Question for those who’ve done it:
In theory (French national), I’m visa-exempt for a 30-day tourist stay, but on France Diplomatie it says on this page
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 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,

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!

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?
