Bonjour,
Je pense partir pour quelques mois au Népal pour apporter de l'aide dans un orphelinat ou une école. Je crois que le visa touristique n'est valide que 60 jours. J'aimeraus savoir quel type de visa ont obtenu ceux d'entre vous qui ont travaillé plusieurs mois au Népal.
Merci
Sophie
Le visa "non-touriste" = travail coute extrêmement cher au Népal (genre 700 dollars pour à peine 6 mois dans mon cas !!) et en plus pas évident à obtenir.
Donc la plupart -voire presque tt le monde- travaille avec des visas "touristes", tu as 60 jours initialement, que tu peux faire étendre d'un mois une fois, voire deux fois... et après tu es +/- obligé de sortir du pays (un trip en Inde !) et tu rerentres au Népal. Tout ça en ne dépassant pas les 5 mois MAXIMUM au total avec un visa touriste.
Ca marche sans trop de problèmes à l'immigration, mais j'avais l'impression que ça devenait quand même + contrôlé.
la législation concernant les visas touristiques vient juste de changer. Les visas sont désormais tous entrées multiples et les délais de séjours ont été modifiés. Tu pourras trouver les infos sur site du consulat du Népal.
Je vis entre le Népal et la Suisse et je vous confirme que les visas au Népal c'est galère, voici les dernières news. La durée maximum du visa touristique au Népal est de 150 jours, soit 5 mois par année civile, c'est tout. Il ne sert à rien de s'encombrer avec des démarches administratives depuis ton pays. Il est plus facile d'arriver à l'aéroport de Katmandou, où tu rempliras un formulaire d'entrée pour le visa, prévoir une photo et 30 dollars. Tu obtiendras directement un visa de 2 mois (60 jours), avec certes une petite ou grande queue d'attente, eh oui bienvenue en Asie !.
Ensuite, à l'approche de l'échéance de tes 60 jours, tu iras au Département de l'Immigration à Katmandou (attention ! ils ont déménagé en mai dernier et donc l'adresse qui est mentionnée dans le guide du routard n'est plus du tout d'actualité, ils sont à un autre endroit toujours à Katmandou). Il faut remplir le formulaire, apporter une photo et 30 dollars ou l'équivalent en roupies népalaises et tu obtiendras un visa de 30 jours, ceci sans aucune complication. Donc tu as la possibilité de renouveler ton visa encore 2 x et tu arrives au 150 jours que le Népal attribue aux tourites. Ensuite il faut avoir quitté le pays le 151ème jour, par contre ce qui a changé, c'est que le Département de l'Immigration est d'accord d'allouer des jours supplémentaires mais pas non plus 1 mois supplémentaire. Au cas où tu dois repousser un vol, une urgence de dernière minute, etc.
Hélas pour l'instant, il n'y a pas de projets d'allonger la période du visa touristique.... Les autres visas sont celui d'étudiant (encore le moins compliqué à avoir), de business visa et d'autres pour 1 an, mais tous sont coûteux et il faut s'accrocher pour les obtenir, à moins de passer par la voie illégale moyennant bakchich....
My name is Valerie and I live in France. I’m a street artist—I perform street shows that blend circus and clowning. I also work as a clown in hospitals and retirement homes in France.
I’m planning to spend two months in Morocco from January 19, 2027, to March 13, 2027. I’ll be traveling in a truck, so I’ll be mobile.
I’d love to offer my time as a volunteer to perform a show that’s suitable for all audiences (kids and adults) in village squares. I’d also like to visit hospitals and orphanages as a clown.
My route will start in Nador, then head down to Merzouga, before making my way to the coast either above or below Agadir. Toward the end of my trip, I’ll return to Zagora and Merzouga before leaving from either Nador or Tangier.
I already have contacts in Merzouga and Zagora. Next, I’d like to head toward the coast above or below Agadir, and I’m looking for contacts (associations, orphanages, hospitals) in that area or along my route.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

My question might seem a bit out of place in a "travel" forum, but I’m giving it a shot anyway.
I’m thinking about sponsoring a child in Vietnam.
After some online research, I’ve found a lot of organizations that offer this, but I’m struggling to make a choice.
Could anyone guide me in making my decision?
Thanks in advance and have a great day.

I’m a volunteer leader at a youth center (MJC), and we’ve been deeply moved by everything happening in Madagascar—extreme poverty, endangered animals, deforestation, and so on. Plus, one of our teens has a Malagasy friend, so our group wants to travel there next year.
Throughout this year, they’ve planned fundraisers to collect donations (sheets, dish towels, schoolbooks, hygiene products, etc.) and funds to cover their trip and stay.
They’re really motivated and generous—they already volunteer in schools and senior centers, and they’re always welcomed warmly.
But so far, they haven’t found any organizations in Madagascar willing to host them for two weeks (orphanages, schools, animal protection parks, etc.).
Does anyone know of any contacts, please?
Looking forward to your replies. Have a great evening!
After 8 months of volunteering in Tanzania at a center for street children, I’d like to go back for a year in the same kind of role—this time in Burkina. So I’m looking for contacts in this field, in Ouaga or elsewhere. I’m *super* motivated! It’s been over two years since I got back from Tanzania, and I’m starting to feel restless!
Thanks so much!!
Emmanuelle.
Solidafrica is a recognized humanitarian association of general interest. We donate wheelchairs in Africa. We currently have 2 wheelchairs that we would like to give to our partner, the Benin Handisport Federation. If you're traveling to Benin, alone or with someone, we could give you one of these 2 wheelchairs (or both). Out of the 40 kg of luggage you're allowed, a wheelchair will only take up less than half. Our partner can pick it up at Cotonou Airport...
Help us give away at least one of these wheelchairs, turning your trip into a solidarity and humanitarian action.
Don't hesitate to ask us for more information.

We've already done this through the VoyageForum site, and everything went very smoothly. We're present at departure from one of the Paris airports, just in case.
Hi,
I’m interested in humanitarian missions—want to explore and help others while showing my kids how things work elsewhere and pitching in.
Looking for advice.
Hello, we’d like to travel as a family to Madagascar (2 parents, 2 kids aged 10 and 12). A first trip over 15 years ago completely amazed and moved me with its beauty, kindness, and life experiences—but also its poverty and hardship. That’s why I think it’s possible to introduce our kids to this island while also doing something useful through volunteering. The window is short—15 days in March 2020—which means avoiding the north and east of the island due to cyclones and focusing on the south instead. Some ecovolunteering projects exist online, but the cost is sometimes prohibitive, and kids are rarely accepted. Do you have any ideas or contacts? Thanks in advance!
