Salut,
Je me rend au Perou pendant le mois de Juillet, mais j'aimerai faire un petit tour par la Bolivie avant de revenir.
Est ce qu'une personne -bien intentionnée!- sait comment on doit s'y prendre pour passer la frontiere, s'il faut un visa spécifique, un truc particulier, faire quelque chose de spécial, prevenir une quelquonque administration ou institution ???
Merci, vous me sauverez la vie.... au moins.
Salut😉
Je croix que tu n'a pas besoin de visa (si t'est de nationnalitée française) pour les pays d'Amérique du sud si tu reste moins de 30 jours!!!
Vérifie quand meme sur ce site!!!! et tiens une petite carte utile du monde!!!!
A+ et bon voyage
Un voyage de mille lis a commencé par un pas. (Lao-Tseu ; 1 lis=ancienne mesure chinoise équivalente a 576m définie des la dynastie Qin, mais qui variait selon la région et l'époque, valeur actuelle 500m, le li est une mesure coréenne d'environ 3920m)

Hola.....
AUCUN SOUCI POUR PASSER LA FRONTIERE!!!!!!
jai fait Pérou Bolivie Nord de l'Argentine l'été dernier et il n'y a besoin de rien....juste de ton passeport!!! nous a on passé la frontiere au niveau du lac titicaca...a yunguyo je crois a pied et apres un mini bus taxi direction copacabana....si tu as le temps franchement va fire un tour dans le sud lipez...les paysages y sont fabuleux...le salar d'uyuni est lui aussi indescriptible de beauté...les lagunes sont...PFOU..... c'est vraiment indescriptible.... les plus beaux paysages que jai vu de ma vie je pense....
mais attention le Pérou aussi est vraiment a faire!!!
bon voyage profite en bien....moi je ne rêve que s'une chose c'est d'y retourner !!!!!
bon voyage profite en bien....moi je ne rêve que s'une chose c'est d'y retourner !!!!!
dans la vie rien n'est impossible...l'impossible prend juste plus de temps !!!
Me voila rassurée...
Par contre j'aurais deux ou trois questions si tu me permets d'abuser de ton temps
Je comptais aussi passer par le lac Titicaca pour passer la frontiere mais tu me parles d'une marche... difficile ou soft ?, puisque la fille qui m'accompagne ne peut pas trop marcher (ce qui me contrarie..).
Ensuite pour le Perou, comme pour la Bolivie d'ailleurs je cherche des endroits simpas a voir -pas TROP tourristiques si possible-, est ce que tu pourrais me conseiller?
Et enfin pour la Bolivie, je vais essayer d'y passer un peu plus de temps que prévu, tu me parles de salar d'uyuni, combien de temps environ pour s'y rendre et comment je peux y aller?.. Si tu vois autres choses, je prends tous les conseils...!
PAS DE PANIQUE.....
quand je disais que nous avions passé la frontière a pied c'etait juste pour dire que nous avions pris un bus local de puno a yunguyo ...qu'apres nous avions passé la frontière...et su'ensuite nous avions retrouvé un autre moyen de locomotion.... rien a voir avec une marche!!!! apres il est possible aussi de passer la frontiere "en bus"...il existe des trajets direct entre puno et soit la paz soit copacabana.
apres il est vrai que jpeux essayer de vous aider dans votre itinéraire....ça ne me dérange pas....le problème c'est que sans savoir combien de tps vous partez et ou sont vos aeroports de d'arrivées et de retour c'est un peu dur!!!
la tout de suite je peux te dire que l'expedition sud lipez et salar dure environ 4 jours...(on est obligé la par contre de passer par des organismes....)
en faite voila jpeux vous dire ce qui me semble pour moi immanquable au Pérou en Bolivie....apres a voir si pour vous c'est possible niveau timing & Co....
il me faut + d'info pour vous en donner!
dans la vie rien n'est impossible...l'impossible prend juste plus de temps !!!
Ouf! j'imaginais deja le trek de trois semaines a travers montagnes et forets infranchissables..!
Je pars pour tout le mois de Juillet en fait du 27 juin au 27 juillet (un peu court je sais... mais pas pu faire autrement). On compte commencer par Lima puisque c'est là qu'on atterit.. ensuite on compte improviser, on a pas de planning pré-établi mais je pense qu'on va descendre vers Arequipa, apres Puno et la passer en Bolivie. Arrivées en Bolivie je ne sais absoluement pas ça dependra de ce que tu me conseilleras, est ce que la Paz vaut le coup qu'on s'y attarde ou bien il vaut mieux partir directement vers le Sud ? Ensuite, on retourne au Perou, vers Cusco. Apres on compte aller vers le Nord, au moins jusqu'à Tarapoto. Le "programme" n'est pas fixe bien au contraire, on est un peu indecises, ça depend aussi de la maniere dont les choses se deroulent là-bas, en fait on se pose pas encore trop de questions, le tout c'est qu'on soit revenue a Lima le 27 Juillet pour rentrer a Marseille, terre natale!! Dis moi stp ce qui te parait "immanquable" dans les deux pays, ensuite on verra en fonction de ce qui est possible... mais je vais tout faire pour que tout soit possible bien entendu.. Voila, je pense avoir bien resumé la situation ! Merci beaucoup.

le machu est immanquable donc....il est bien de prendre le train pour aguas calientes mais de pas monter au machu le jour meme car trop de touriste....dormir a aguas et monter aux aurores au machu le lendemain....en attendant a aguas calientes monter au putukusi est assez sympa aussi...

Apres en bolivie la paz est a voir avec son marché de la sorcellerie ses ruelles et tt....
L'expedition sud lipez salar duyuni est immanquable inratable a faire a tt pris....nous on l'a fait a partir de tupiza au sud et on est remonté..ya moins de monde qui le fait ds ce sens la...en general les gens le font a partir de uyuni....en + a partir de tupiza ya certaine lagunes qu on a l'occasion de voir alors que sinon on ne les voit pas toutes!!!

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?
Thanks in advance for your advice

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

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. 😔
Hi,
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 everyone,
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?...
Thanks for your help

Hi there,
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!)
Will Ryanair let me board in Beauvais in 3 weeks?
Thanks for your advice—this is a bit urgent 😕😕😕😕

Hello,
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.

Hi there,
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?
Thanks so much for your answers! 🙂

Hi everyone,
Some French friends are visiting NYC (4/5 days around mid-May) from Montreal, Canada. They’ve got their eTA and ESTA approved!
Round-trip transport by bus.
Question: Is the I-94 form required, mandatory, and should it be filled out on the bus or in advance???
Thanks for your RECENT experiences!
See you, Jean.

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,

Hi there,
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!
Best regards,
Gilles

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!

Hi,
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?
Thanks for sharing your experiences! 😊

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!

Hi everyone,
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?
Thanks for your feedback.

Hi there,
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?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi
Has anyone been to Rwanda recently and gotten a 3-month visa on arrival easily?
Thanks
