je vais probablement faire un ti tour en asie de 5/6 semaines pr la 1ere fois en decembre/janvier.
un vol sur emirates au depart de nice à 720 € taxes comprises vous semble t-il un bon prix? je le prendrai bien fin aout, (j'y verrai + clair / à mon boulot) mais j'ai peur de plus en trouver à ce prix la, vos avis .....
en lisant vos conseils eclairés sur ce forum, j'envisage de faire le circuit classique suivant du nord au sud :
vol BKK - chiang mai, peut etre mae hong son, chiang saen, puis descendre le mekong juska pakbeng (laos). remonter juska nong khiaw et arriver à luang prabang par le nam. LP - vientiane via vang vieng. liaison en bus vientiane - pakse, la route est bonne ou dangereuse ? car possibilité avion pour 100 € je crois. rien de determiné pr le sud laos, je compte y passer +/- 1 semaine avant de rejoindre le cambodge avec une pause a kratie pr les dauphins s'il en reste encore 🤪, et 1 semaine autour de siem reap avec visite de la reserve prek toal, ce soir à la télé 😄. pr finir une derniere semaine detente playa au cambodge ou thailande. vol Phnom penh -bangkok. en gros 10 jours nord thailande, 2 semaines laos, 10 jours cambodge.
bien sur je me pose la question recurrente du visa pr la thailande. si j'ai bien compris, pas besoin de le prendre si je passe moins d'un mois en thailande . je pars avec emirates, ne risquent-ils pas de me bloquer si sejour de 5/6 semaines ? je prefere faire ce circuit du nord au sud et mon seul vol hors thailande sera Phnom penh -BKK à la fin du sejour, donc je ne pourrai pas acheter de billets avant de partir pour prouver que je ne passe que 2 semaines maxi en thailande 🤪 est-ce suffisant de faire les visas cambodge et laos en france pr leur prouver mon trajet?? merci de vos reponses 😉
bonjour, je suis aussi interresse par les differents prix pour cette periode.. donc merci pour le lienclasseco
j ecris juste ce message pour dire que j ai deja voyage avec gulf air pour aller a mumbai.
et je dois dire que le voyage etait nikel...bcp mieux que alitalia ou transat (quebec) ou ....
bouffe nikel, siege confort, etc... rien a voir avec alitalia
jermo
598€ c preske donné 😏 . bon j''ai fait des simulations avec un depart autour du 10 decembre et nada à moins de 700 € . ouais gulf air, je v eviter, surtout qu'ils semblent rigides pr les sejours de + de 4 semaines.
j'ai vu ke tu as pris ton billet, coool tu es deja en vacances 😛.
bon voyage
slt, vas voir ici: illicotravel.com
ce site ne fait que comparer les prix entre différents prestataires, je viens de tester nice /BKK etd le 10 dec et retour le 15 jan le prix :+ 900 €, mais si tu reviens le 13 jan c'est 755€!
vois tu les prix changent en fonction des dates aller et retour, a toi de tester et ce site en qques secondes te donne les résulats...Ensuite tu peux aller voir sur le prix souhaité tu trouveras tout!
attention pour les visas en Thailande c'est 30 jours une entrée, ensuite tu peux prolonger à condition de faire la demnde avant la date limite (imigration office). Si tu sors ce visa tombe (laos et cambodge) si ton retour est de BKK renseignes toi pour voir si tes droits ne seront pas épuisés! sinon visa 60 jours à l'ambassade ou consulat de france avant de partir prix dans les 30€ pour une entrée, un peu plus pour deusx ou trois...
Le prix des billets d'avion, c'est la jungle totale... Les prix peuvent changer chaque jour en fonction du remplissage ou non de l'avion, en fonction du tour operator qui achète un contingent... Et du pays de départ (au départ de Genève, vous pouvez oublier les prix que vous mentionnez - le genevois a presqu'intérêt à prendre la même compagnie, mais au départ de Paris, par exemple) Même sur un comparateur de prix, demain le montant sera différent ! Si vous estimez que le prix est correct, raisonnable pour vos moyens, que la compagnie vous satisfait, allez-y et pas de regrets !
Bon voyage.
😉😉😉

va voir sur lecercledesvacances http://www.billetsdiscount.com/v01/price/pricelist.php?id=260
il faut compter quelques taxes en plus du prix affiché (en général dans les 110€?), le tout est de jongler avec les dates d'aller et de retour.. cela dit, il te faut rajouter le trajet NICE PARIS !
(je dit cela aussi pour les personnes de paris que cela peut intéresser)
boutique près de l'Opéra, les opératrices sont très sympa, mieux vaut leur téléphonner ou les questionner par mail.
Si c'est sur Royal Jordania, tu peux avoir un transit à Aman ...qui peut être parfois assez long au retour (7 ou 8h) mais la compagnie te paie la chambre d'hotel et le petit dej. En définitive je trouve cela presque plus agréable et moins fatiguant que de faire tout d'une seule traite !!! ... question de goût ...et de moyens !
(nous voyageons en famille donc une économie multiplie par 4 pour nous)
Certes Emirates ets plus cher, mais n'oublions pas les 35 kilos de bagages autorisés en soute qui sont quand meme un plus quand on veut ramener ses vacances dans ses valises...
Quand on s'en va pour la premiere fois, on ne sait pas comment se retourner (Didier van Cauwelaert)
Merci pour vos reponses. g simulé sur les sites conseillés et je retrouve +/- le prix de 720€ au depart de nice en decembre, je vais suivre les conseils du sage diogene lol et prendre mes billets ce WE car pas sur de retrouver le meme prix fin aout. en + je n'avais pas vu qu'emirates autorisait 35kg en soute 🙂. ca laisse de la marge pr les souvenirs!
a noter que le meme vol est - cher sur ebookers (720€) que directement sur le site de emirates! j'espere que ca m'empechera pas de faire un eventuel stop over de 2 jours à dubai proposé par emirates.
bon voyage à tous

Bonjour,
J'ai réservé un billet Etihad sur leur site Dusseldorf-Abu Dhabi. Dans la case prénom j'ai mis tous mes prénoms (chose que je ne fais jamais et je regrette mais le site portait à confusion); tout est correctement orthographié mais le problème est que je viens de recevoir mon nouveau passeport est seuls apparaissent mes 2 premiers prénoms et la première lettre du 3ème, aucune trace du dernier.
J'ai téléphoné à Etihad qui a bien évidemment essayé de me faire payé 100 USD pour enlever ce dernier prénom, mais j'hésite car d'habitude je ne mets que mon 1er prénom et pas les autres et je n'ai jamais eu de problème... Alors je me demande si l'ajout de ce dernier prénom qui n'apparaît pas sur le passeport pourrait me voir refusé au check in..
Merci pour votre retour
bonsoir a tous,

esque j'ai besoin du numéro de mon ancien ave ou pas.
car je ne trouve plus mon ancien numéro d ave.
merci pour vos réponce bon week-end
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,
Best regards,

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!
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?
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?...
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’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?
