je fais appel à vous pour une petite question de logistique administrative!!! voila, je pars pour un petit periple de 2 mois à travers la thailande, le cambodge et le sud du laos (que j'ai hate)!!!
j'ai lu dans certain post qu'il était possible qu'on me refuse l'embarquement à Paris pour Bangkok si je n'avais pas de visa étant donnée la durée du voyage (superieur à 1 mois) est ce vrai? est ce que quelqu'un aurai des informations à ce sujet?
quant à mon amie qui part pour un mois, elle n'aura pas besoin de visa à l'embarquement et pourra le faire lors de son arrivée à Bangkok?
si il me faut un visa à l'embarquement, je ferai un visa pour la thailande de 2 mois à multiple entrée, est-il possible de faire faire le visa par envoie postal ou est ce trop risqué (je pars dans 15 jours!) ? ou sinon est ce qu'en une journée il est possible de faire faire le visa à l'ambassade à paris (je decole à 21h) ?
merci bcp pour vos réponses!! (l'ambassade de thailande à paris étant injoignable et leur petite musique d'attente va me rendre folle!!!)
J'ai eu les même questions que toi, c'est la première fois que je voyage dans un pays ou j ai besoin de visa et je dois avouer que le tout n'est pas encore clair pour moi🤪! Je suis canadienne, donc je sais pas si les infos vont pouvoir t aider par contre!
Mais si j'ai bien compris ce que la rep de l'ambassade m'a dit, oui tu seras refusé de partir si tu ne peux prouver que tu as un billet de retour dans les 30 jours suivant ton arrivée et que tu n'as pas de visa, à ce moment il te faut absolument avoir ton visa! Moi je pars one way, donc il est important pour moi de le faire avant de partir! Moi pour le faire je dois le poster et elle m'a dit de le faire au moins 3 semaines avnat le depart si je poste, par contre si je peux aller en personne au heures d'ouverture du consulat, elle m'a dit 2 jours ouvrable!
Par supposition, mais la je marche sur des oeufs, je dirais que si tu achetes un billet d'avion pour te rendre au Laos par exemple et que cela prouve que tu quittes le pays dans les 30 jours, je suppose que cela peut fonctionner!! Appeler l'ambassade ou un consulat et tu auras vite ta réponse officiel! Sur cette note peut etre d'autre personne auront une meuilleur infos pour toi!
Bon voyage!

vous etes sur de votre coup ?
on pensait avoir notre mois d office a l arrivée puis flaner en asie du sud est pendant 2 mois comme d hab et revenir a bkk avant notre retour
si c est le cas, ca change tout car on va devoir envoyer nos passeports a paris de toulouse en express
Bonjour
Precision : A l'arrivée rien ni personne ne délivre de visa mais tout voyageur venant d'un pays partenaire a droit a une exemption de visa ( autrement dit l'autorisation de ne pas avoir de visa ) valable 30 jours ( jours de depart et arrivée inclus )
Dans votre cas plusieurs scenarios sont possibles :
1/ Vous restez plus d'un mois en Thailande et dans ce cas il vous faut un visa de 2 mois ( gratuit et disponible le jour meme sur place dans un consulat )
2/ Vous sortez de Thailande avant la fin de l'exemption et vous reviendrez ensuite avec une nouvelle exemption ( 15 jours par voie terrestre ou maritime et 30 jours par voie aerienne )
Attention tout de meme certaines compagnies demandent une preuve de votre sortie au dela de l'exemption ( visa pour un autre pays , billet d'avion vers une autre destination , bref une preuve que vous ne resterez pas en Thailande illegalement )
Bon séjourMai Pen Rai attitude !!!verifiez avec votre compagnie, normalement c bon
A force de lever les yeux au ciel,
on marche dans la merde.

Bonjour Jessica,
Peux tu me dire STP si t'as eu ton visa du consulat de Lyon finalement? ça ta demandé combien de temps? t'as fais ta demande par correspondance ou sur place?
Merci beaucoup,
Hind
Prend un vol low cost sur air asia le moins cher qui te fait sortir de Thailande à ton nom ... Rien ne t'oblige ensuite de voler réellement (tu peux très bien avoir un contretemps ... ratter l'avion à l'insu de ton plein grès 😉 )
ça t'évitera toute la paprace et envoi par courrier à une ambassade pour avoir un visa ...
A condition bien sur d'être sur que tu sera en règle (que tu ne reste pas plus longtemps que prévu avec le tourist visa) c'est la meilleure solution ...
Par contre prend le billet AVANT de partir (comme cela tu le présente comme document à l'embarquement Paris ou au poste frontière à Bangkok) tu sera en règle

Il est même possible de se faire rembourser les taxes d'aéroport (une bonne partie du billet sur un vol de 1h) sur le site internet de Air Asia.
exact c'est ce que j'ai fais et ce que des potes ont fait avec un voyage de 2 mois sans visa, bien sur une fois sur place tu te mets en règle et voilà, si tu peux le faire avant fait le mais c'est pareil comme ça !
un billet airasia prouvant ta sortie de thailand avant 30 jours
Il semble même que ca le fait avec un ticket de bus nominatif Hat Yai - Malaisie
exemple: un trajet Hat Yai ( Thaïlande ) vers Puduraya ( Malaisie ) environ 12 euros
http://www.busonlineticket.com
Thaiairways me confirme refuser l'embarquement avec un billet retour plus d'un mois plus tard,
nonobstant que l'on obtient 30 jours de plus sur place à l'immigration pour 1900 Bahts.
Donc dans ce cas, c'est un truc utile, présenter un ticket de bus pour un trajet moins de 30 jours
après l'entrée...

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!

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?
