Mais non!
Il ne faut pas de visa.
Tu vas rester dans le même terminal.
Et puis même, ils seraient différents, cela ne change rien à l'affaire: il ne faut pas de visa de transit.
Un point c'est tout
Michel
Je maintiens que pour demeurer dans la zone internationale, en transit entre deux vols, il ne faut PAS de visa de transit.
Si l'on désire quitter la zone (de transit) et entrer sur le territoire russe, alors là, le visa est obligatoire.
Le 13 juin prochain, je vais à nouveau voler sur Aeroflot pour me rendre à Bishkek.
Malheureusement pour moi, Aeroflot a supprimé le vol du matin et vais donc patienter 17h mais je ne dois pas avoir de visa. Ce sera la 4ème fois depuis 2003 que je procède de la même façon... et je n'ai jamais eu le moindre visa russe...ni rencontré le moindre problème.
Michel
Etant donné que vous ne passez pas le contrôle douanier à Moscou pour quitter l'aéroport (et dès lors entrer sur le territoire russe), il ne faut pas de visa.
Ce n'est pourtant pas sorcier...
Si vous souhaitez dépenser des sous, alors oui, courrez au consulat pour faire la demande d'un visa...
Après tout, chacun est libre de faire ce qu'il veut de son argent.
Et si je vous donne mon numéro de compte, vous m'en refilerez aussi un peu?
Michel
non, ce n'est pas sorcier ! mais je me souviens d'un temps où même en transit aux US, pour 3 heures, il fallait un visa !
Pas besoin d'être aggressif pour cela, je ne suis pas après votre bas de laine. Je me demande toujours pourquoi on ne se tourne pas vers les autorités pour demander ces renseignements aussi pr��cis, car les conditions des uns ne sont pas celles des autres, nationalité par exemple. Il n'y a pas de honte à avoir tort...
texte rediger par le ministere des affaires etrangeres:
Conditions de transit
Les voyageurs français se rendant dans les différentes Républiques de la CEI (pays du Caucase et Asie Centrale) et transitant par la Fédération de Russie doivent obligatoirement être détenteurs d’un visa de transit russe. Le visa du pays de destination n’est pas valable pour transiter par la Russie. En cas de retour en France via la Russie, prévoir, dès le dépôt de la demande, un visa à entrées multiples ou à deux entrées.

J'ai en effet lu cela sur le site français des affaires étrangères. La même info est reprise sur le site belge.
Lorsque j'ai contacté l'ambassade russe à Bruxelles, je suis tombé sur une préposée me confirmant (bien entendu) qu'il me faut ce visa de transit (qui en passant n'a pas de prix fixe ! !)
J'invite ceux qui ont la curiosité d'appeler le numéro du consulat (répondeur) où il est bien fait mention que le prix sera fixé le jour même, au cas par cas !
Et quand je contacte les kirghizes, ils me disent que non, car en plus les vols arrivent et repartent (à/de Moscou) depuis le même terminal (le 2) mais finissent aussi par me "lâcher" que si les russes disent oui, il faudrait peut-être en avoir un (par trajet!)…
Je viens de contacter (par mail) une source fiable à l'ambassade de Belgique à Moscou pour tenter d'obtenir plus d'infos.
NEANMOINS lorsque j'ai contacté (au travers de mon agence de voyage qui m'a fourni le billet) un interlocuteur fiable d'Aeroflot (à Bruxelles), il a bien été précisé qu'un visa de transit est INUTILE si l'on respecte DEUX CONDITIONS :
Ne pas rester en transit plus de 24h ET ne pas vouloir sortir de l'aéroport ou plutôt ne pas vouloir quitter la zone internationale (dite zone de transit)
Je rappelle ici que si je suis refoulé, c’est la compagnie aérienne qui m’a transporté qui devra me ramener d’où je viens. Ils ont intérêt à savoir ce qui est demandé…
Il va de soi que je vais vous tenir informé de la suite des " événements "...
Tu n'as pas besoin de visa de transit si tu restes dans la l'aeroport en zone internationale et que la durée de transit ne depasse pas 24h.
Si par contre tu veux sortir pour aller à moscou meme pour qques heures tu as besoin d'un visa de transit.
J'ai fait un vol en vol transit de 8h par moscou et je n'ai pas eu besoin de visa de transit.
Pour abonder dans ton sens, voila ce qui est écrit sur Timatic, le service de IATA ; c'est en général ce que le personnel d'enregistrement a sous les yeux :
National FRANCE (FR) /Embarkation FRANCE (FR)
Transit RUSSIAN FEDERATION (RU) /Destination KYRGYZSTAN (KG)
ALSO CHECK DESTINATION INFORMATION BELOW
Transit Russian federation :
Visa not required if continuing within 24 hours and not
leaving the airside (international) transit area.
Passenger must hold onward ticket and all documents required
for next destination.
If continuing by a domestic flight (also including Belarus);
or if airport of arrival is different from airport of
departure within the same Russian city (e.g. arriving at
Sheremetyevo-2 and departing from Sheremetyevo-1 airport
in Moscow):
Transit visa required, as entering territory of Russian Fed.
Et concernant les deux terminaux de Sheremetievo, lorsque tu avais encore les départs des vols pour l’Asie Centrale et la Transcaucasie qui s’effectuaient au 1, je n’ai jamais dû avoir de visa de transit. Tu effectuais ta petite excursion en bus entre les deux terminaux sans passer la douane, d’où pas besoin de visa.
J’ai transité de la sorte en 2003 et 2004. En 2006 (dernier transit à ce jour), ces vols étaient effectués depuis le 2.
A Sheremetievo 2, si tu restes au niveau de la zone de transit, tu n’es pas en contact avec la douane. Seulement avec le personnel de l’aéroport et de l’encadrement d’Aeroflot.
OK avec tout ce qui vient de se dire. Pas besoin de visa de transit si tu ne changes pas d'aeroport ou si tu ne vas pas faire coucou a Vlad au coeur de Moscou.
En revanche, si tu fais escale a Moscou pour redecoller a partir de Domodedovo (qui a aussi des vols internationaux vers d'anciennes republiques sovietiques), visa de transit obligatoire.
Bon courage en tout cas. SVO est un aeroport fantastique et les gens sont tellement aimables...🏴☠️
Merci
Si je calcule bien, avec mon prochain voyage en juin prochain, je vais approcher les 90 heures d'attente en transit à Sheremetievo (1 et 2) en 4 vols avec Aeroflot...
Je ne connais dès lors que trop bien la jovialité et la chaleur de l'acceuil russe...
Mais qu'est ce qu'on ne ferait pas pour le saumon fumé servi (en vol) et l'expérience en 154M...
Michel
Juste pour info et pour clôturer la discussion, j’ai reçu il y a quelques temps un courriel envoyé par un diplomate de notre ambassade à Moscou. Il m’a répondu qu’il était persuadé que le visa n’était pas nécessaire (ce qui est la stricte vérité) mais quand il a consulté le site officiel de Sheremtyevo il a lu une information à nouveau incomplète. Il était précisé ceci :
TRANSIT WITHOUT VISA (TWOV)
Those continuing their journey to a third country within 24 hours provided
holding confirmed onward tickets and all documents required for next
destination. Leaving the transit area is not allowed. If transiting via St.
Petersburg - Pulkovo airport passenger must arrive and depart on the same
day between 07.00 a.m. and 10.00 p m. Passenger needs a transit visa if
switching between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
If transiting via Moscow – Sheremetyevo airport and staying longer than 24
hours. obtaining the transit visa prior to arrival is required Hotel
accommodation is available at Sheremetyevo Moscow airport.
Stateless persons and refugees can only transit without visa if they transit
within 24 hours.
Nationals of Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, FYROM (Former Yugoslav Republic
of Macedonia), Poland, Yugoslavia Fed. Rep. holding normal passports and
airplane tickets, enjoy 72-hours transit without visa.
Passengers transiting Russian Fed. and continuing to Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Belarus, Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Ukraine or Uzbekistan must:
hold visa and all other required documents for next destination, and either
hold visa for entry Russian Fed. prior to arrival, or
obtain visa on arrival. A 24 hours transit visa can be obtained on providing
air ticket and visa, if necessary, to the point of final destination
Je MAINTIENS que cette information n’est pas complète et à ce sujet, Timatic, (en dehors d’Aeroflot elle-même) demeure la meilleure source pour obtenir des infos concernant les vols et les transits.
Un transit de 2 heures à SVO me semble relativement court, mais réalisable.
Tu n'as pas besoin de visa si:
pas de changement de terminal à Moscou (cela semble le cas, vérifie bien ton billet arrivée à SVO2 et départ de SVO2)
tu possèdes ta réservation confirmée pour le vol de correspondance
ce vol part de SVO2 moins de 24 heures après l'arrivée prévue à SVO2.
Bonjour,
Je suis rentré dimanche soir d'un voyage au Kirghizistan en ayant emprunté Aeroflot pour m'y rendre.
Je confirme qu'il ne faut pas de visa de transit pour Moscou.
L'ensemble des vols internationaux s'effectuent depuis le terminal 2 (arrivées et départs) et comme vous restez dans la zone internationale (dite de transit), vous ne devez pas en avoir un pour un transit inférieur à 24h.
Il n'en va pas de même si vous changez de terminal (le 1) mais il ne concerne pas les vols internationaux.
Michel
Je pars au Japon en passant donc par Moscou, j'ai une escale de 2 heures, ai je besoin d'un visa ou de document? Je n'espère pas.. j'avais tout préparé et j'ai…
J'aurais 2 questions simples Faut-il un visa pour faire une escale en Russie? Je souhaite me rendre au Moyen-Orient avec la compagnie Aeroflot qui fera escale…
Cet été, moi et mon compagnon avons prévu d'aller au Japon et pour cela, nous faisons une escale de 15h à l'aéroport Sheremetyevo de Moscou. Nous aimerions…
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!
Elisabeth
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?
