Bonjour,
Quelqu'un saurait-il s'il est nécessaire d'avoir un visa pour repartir d'Indonésie par Lombok ?
Notre arrivée se fait par Denpasar, donc pas de visa obligatoire.
merci à ceux qui ont la réponse.

Bonjour,
Apparemment oui il faut un visa pour sortir par Lombok car cet aéroport ne fait pas parti de la liste des exemptions donc il faut prendre un visa payant à Bali pour pouvoir repartir par Lombok.
Voir à ce sujet le site des affaires étrangères "entrée sur le territoire indonésien", personnellement j'ai le même problème car je quitte l'Indonésie par Lombok.
Votre message m interpelle car nous avons prevu de repartir de Lombok aussi j aimerai savoir où vous repartiez exactement car en ce qui nous concerne nous faisons d abord un vol interieur entre Lombok et Jakarta et repartons vraiment d Indonésie de Jakarta ..
Merci d avance
Bonsoir,
nous quittons l'Indonésie par Lombok pour rejoindre Kuala Lumpur. Il s'agit donc d'un vol international, d'où semble-t-il la nécessité d'un visa. Dans votre cas, le vol en partance de Lombok est un vol intérieur, donc à priori pas besoin de visa, la sortie du pays se faisant de Jakarta d'où l'on peut sortir sans visa payant.
Bon voyage

quand on rentre en indonésie, soit on a un visa établi par l'ambassade du pays ou l'on vit ou on rentre ou un visa à l'arrivée. Peu importe la ville ou on arrive. Si on ne dépasse pas la limite de la durée, 30 jours par exemple, il n'y a aucun souci de sortir du pays depuis un autre port que celui d'entrée. Et peu importe le moyen de sortie, bateau, avion.
Si visa à l'arrivée, le visa s'obtient dans un bureau en avant de l'immigration proprement dite, qui valide l'entrée avec un tampon. A la sortie, un nouveau tampon exit rend le visa inutilisable en quittant le pays.
Lombok reçoit des vols internationaux et des visiteurs quittent l'indonésie par ce même port. Donc aucun souci.
Bonjour,
Bien sûr aucun problème avec un visa payant à l'arrivée mais on parlait des exemptions de visa.
En ce qui me concerne j'arrive en Indonésie par Makassar et je repars vers Paris par Lombok.
Makassar ne bénéficie pas de l’exemption de visa.
Je dois donc prendre un visa à 35$ à mon arrivée.
Il suffit de consulter le site de France diplomatie qui détaille tous les cas de figures d'entrées et de sorties du territoire indonésien:
"Un visa d’entrée n’est plus exigé pour les touristes français et d’un certain nombre d’autres nationalités à compter du 10 juin 2015 pour un séjour maximal de 30 jours.
Les personnes souhaitant bénéficier de cette disposition doivent impérativement pénétrer sur le territoire indonésien via les points d’accès suivants :
•Aéroports internationaux : aéroport Soekarno-Hatta de Jakarta, aéroport Ngurah Rai de Bali, aéroport Kualanamu de Medan, aéroport Juanda de Surabaya, aéroport Hang Nadim de Batam.La sortie du territoire ne pourra s’effectuer pour les personnes ayant bénéficié de cette disposition que via les points de sortie ci-dessous :
• Aéroports internationaux : aéroport Soekarno-Hatta de Jakarta, aéroport Ngurah Rai de Bali, aéroport Kualanamu de Medan, aéroport Juanda de Surabaya, aéroport Hang Nadim de Batam, aéroport Husein Sastranegara de Bandung, aéroport Sepinggan de Balikpapan, aéroport St Iskandar de Aceh, aéroport Halim de Jakarta, aéroport Adisucipto de Yogyakarta, aéroport Eltari de Kupang, aéroport Sam Ratulangi de Manado, aéroport Minangkabau de Padang, aéroport St Syarif Kasim II de Pekanbaru, aéroport St Mahmud Badaruddin de Palembang, aéroport Adisumarmo de Surakarta, aéroport Ahmad Yani de Semarang, aéroport St Hasanuddin de Surabaya, aéroport de Polonia à Medan.
ATTENTION : les personnes ayant bénéficié d’une exemption de visa ne pourront donc pas sortir du territoire indonésien via d’autres points de sortie (par exemple Lombok ou les postes frontières situés dans la province de Papouasie). Il convient dans ce cas de demander un visa à votre arrivée sur le territoire indonésien."

Bonjour,
J'ai un véhicule VP de 9 places que j'exploite au nom de mon entreprise à Paris au transport de personnes.
Je compte aller en Algérie avec en famille.
La carte grise mentionne comme propriétaire ma Société.
Pourrais-je faire un TPD?
Il faudra un KBis avec ou une procuration?!?
Merci de votre aide.
Au pire je peux mettre en co-titulaire mon nom perso sur la carte grise mais ce sera bien dommage!
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,
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 there,
I’m a French citizen living in Switzerland, and I set up an RV LLC in Montana, USA. Through that, I was able to register 3 vehicles (an RV, a Jeep, and a Harley) with Montana plates.
I’d like to spend 3 months in Mexico, but it seems complicated—maybe even impossible—to cross the border from the US with all 3 vehicles.
Can anyone give me some advice?
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!
J'ai acheté un vol aller (Ryan Air) et retour (EAsyjet) pour passer une semaine au Maroc en avril.
mon passeport expire 3 semaines après la date du retour.
sur certains site on peut lire que le passeport doit avoir une durée de validité de 3 mois au moment de l'entrée.
Or il sera bien valide tant à l'entrée qu'au retour, mais sa validité sera de 1 mois seulement à la date de l'entrée (et 3 semaine à la date du retour, tout pré payé).
C'est un voyage individuel en famille.
Le consulat ne sait pas me répondre, ils cherchent la réponse (si si! )
Ryan Air me laissera t il embarquer à Beauvais dans 3 semaines?
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?
Bonjour ,
Juste une question qui a dû déjà être posée ( mais souvent à l’inverse de mon cas :) )
Nous partons pour les USA ma femme et moi .
Sur son billet il y a juste son nom de jeune fille ( ex. Martine DUPOND )
Sur le passeport c’est écrit Martine DUPOND épouse AVRY
Pas de soucis pour partir j’espère avoir bien fais sur le billet ?
Ensuite sur l’ESTA je dois Martine DUPOND suffit ou je dois mettre comme le passeport avec la mention épouse ?
Merci d’avance
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
J'ai vu sur le site de l'ambassade de France au Pérou et sur le site du Consulat péruvien à Paris que la règle est d'avoir un passeport valide 6 mois après la date d'arrivée (et non la date de retour).
J'arrive au Pérou le 13 août 2019 (pour une douzaine de jours) et mon passeport est valide jusqu'au 16 février 2020.
Donc 6 mois et 3 jours après ma date d'arrivé au Pérou. Selon moi, je suis dans en règle.
Mais peut on quand même me bloquer l'entrée en disant que je ne couvre pas la date de retour ou que je suis trop proche des 6 mois ?
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?
Hello, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026!
We’re heading back in October for a trip through Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
I have a question: for our route, we’ll need to cross the Zambia and Zimbabwe borders twice each. From experience, I know we won’t have any issues with Botswana.
But for the other two countries, I can’t find a clear answer.
All your tips are welcome!
I’m currently a student on a gap year, and I don’t plan to go back to school right away. That said, traveling really interests me. But I’ve been wondering: does being a student come with any perks when you decide to go abroad? The real question is whether I should re-enroll in a program just to keep that status without actually attending.

Do you know of any travel insurance for someone with a pre-existing condition?
Can a person who’s had a heart attack and is on medication get travel insurance?
Thanks
