Je dois partir demain en croisiére en Egypte et malheureusement mon passeport a été imprimé mais pas reçu à temps à la mairie, donc je ne l'ai pas en ma possesion..
De plus, ma CNI est périmée et bien sur impossible de me faire rembourser..
Pensez-vous que je vais pouvoir partir avec ces pieces perimées et le recepisé de ma demande de passeport??

C'est pas cool, tout ça, parce que j'ai bien peur que sans passeport, on ne te laisse même pas embarquer (dans l'avion, si ta croisière est strictement en Egypte, sur le bateau si tu prends un bateau qui va vers l'Egypte)...
Une CNI française, même "non périmée", n'est pas suffisante, à ma connaissance, pour aller en *Egypte*. Il faut un passeport.
Et une carte d'identité périmée, si elle reste valable pour justifier *en France* de ton identité, ne te permet pas de *quitter la France* pour un autre pays de l'Union européenne, encore moins un autre pays...
Reste à voir avec ton assurance annulation... Peut-être jouable s'il y a longtemps que ton passeport a été commandé et qu'il y a un retard manifeste de l'Administation... Mais le plus souvent, même le vol des papiers d'identités à deux heures de partir ne permet pas de faire jouer l'assurance-annulation... (celle de la carte VISA-Infinite marche dans ce cas de vol, mais pas celle de la VISA-Premier )
Je suis désolé pour toi...
Le seul moyen qui me semble logique, si ton passeport *a été imprimé* (comment le sais-tu *avec certitude* ? ), donc se trouve "quelque part dans le circuit administratif", serait d'aller le chercher, par tout moyen et à n'importe quel prix, là où il est... Mais la veille pour le lendemain, ça me semble quand même difficile... 🤪😕
Votre carte d'identite est perimee depuis combien de temps ? Sachez qu'il n'y a pas besoin d'un passeport pour entrer en Egypte - une CNI (en cours de validite quand meme et normalement valable 6 mois apres le retour) suffit et votre visa pris a l'arrivee (environ 13 euros au cours du jour) vous sera mis sur une feuille volante il faut donc prevoir 2 photos d'identite avec vous (1 seule suffit mais vous en aurez une autre au cas ou vous perdriez la premiere). A mon avis et vu le peu de touristes qui viennent en Egypte qui plus est en plein ete, je ne pense pas que vous aurez de problemes a l'arrivee........... incha allah! les problemes seront presque certainement au depart de France.
Tenez-nous informes!
Si vous êtes de passage a Louxor, je me ferai un plaisir de vous rencontrer!

Effectivement, je fais amende honorable, au vu des données du site officiel du Ministère français des Affaires étrangères. C'est juste la procédure d'obtention du visa qui est différente.
Marrant par contre que d'un site touristique à l'autre, ou d'une agence de voyage à l'autre, les réponses diffèrent... 🤪
Nous sommes là encore dans cette éternelle question en France (ou dans les pays qui ont une CI) du " passeport indispensable ou pas pour aller dans le pays X "... sachant qu'en dehors bien sûr des pays de l'Union Européenne, les choses peuvent changer avec le temps...
A laquelle je répond toujours par le fait que posséder un passeport en permanence (que l'on ait décidé de voyager ou pas, on n'est jamais à l'abri d'une occasion de dernière minute, j'en ai déjà cité des cas patents) supprime définitivement la question... 😇
Cela étant, dans le cas qui nous intéressait, la CNI était périmée... 🏴☠️ On peut se demander d'ailleurs pourquoi l'auteur de ce fil n'a pas demandé le renouvellement *gratuit* de sa carte d'identité en même temps que son passeport... Elle aurait peut-être reçu à temps sa CNI...
Oui c'est vrai que tout le monde devrait avoir un passeport - sa validite de 10 ans fait que l'on recupere vite sa ''mise'' .......... Comme je l'ai indique (et j'espere que cette personne nous tiendra informes) etant donne le peu de touristes qui viennent ces derniers temps et avec cette chaleur je ne pense pas que les soucis viendront du cote Egyptien mais bien du cote Francais (des le moment ou elle se presentera au comptoir d'embarquement ......)! Je pense quand meme que lorsqu'on reserve un voyage on fait un ''check'' de ses documents de voyage ......... enfin c'est mon avis 😉

Ben elle s'est inscrite sur VF le 13/07/2012 à 15h 53, a écrit son post à 16h 05 et n'est pas revenue sur VF depuis le 13/07/2012 à 16h 19... Donc elle n'a lu aucune de nos réponses... 😕
Je pense quand meme que lorsqu'on reserve un voyage on fait un ''check'' de ses documents de voyage ......... enfin c'est mon avis 😉
Tout ça me conforte dans l'idée que ce post pourrait être (est ?) un "troll"... 🤪😮
C'est peut-etre qu'elle est dans l'avion ............ qui sait? c'est le genre de post ou nous n'aurons jamais de ''retour'' dommage si cette situation est veritable mais bon!
Si vous êtes de passage a Louxor, je me ferai un plaisir de vous rencontrer!
effectivement ça prouverait que les contrôles ne sont pas si strictes que cela et comme tu l’écris ce n'est pas du tout rassurant....... on va bien voir si cette personne nous redonne des nouvelles!
Si vous êtes de passage a Louxor, je me ferai un plaisir de vous rencontrer!
Je suis vraiment désolée de ne pas avoir pris le temps de vous répondre , effectivement je me suis inscrite sur le forum le jour de mon questionnement et depuis, le temps filant, j'ai couru partout afin d'obtenir mon passeport, que malheureusement je n'ai pas eu...😕
Depuis la tristesse étant mon ordinateur resta loin de moi...
J'ai par ailleurs eu vos réponses sur mon portable, merci à tous !
Impossible de partir, impossible de me faire rembourser... 1200 € en fumée !!

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!

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?
