j'aimerais savoir s'il est possible d'avoir un visa à l'arrivée à l'aéroport du kilimanjaro pour une canadienne. ( je précise car sur le forum souvent on parle plus d'européen). Si oui, avons nous besoin de quelque chose en particulier: photo, billet de retour, formulaire que l'on doit se procurer sur internet etc...???
Faut t'il prévoir une taxe de sortie à la fin du voyage?
Merci à l'avance :-)
Si vous pensez que l'aventure est dangereuse, essayer la routine...elle est mortelle!
Tu peux faire le visa à l'arrivée (50 US $), il n'y a pas de taxe de sortie, des formulaires sont distribués dans l'avion ou disponibles sur des comptoirs à l'arrivée, on te demandera juste quel est ton premier hébergement, ton passeport doit être valable encore plus de 6 mois après ta date de départ.
si je vais sur le lien que tu me donnes, ( j'y avais été aussi auparavent) et qu eje clique au bon endroit, jusqu'au lien sur le visa en anglais. Si je me fie à ce que je comprends, je dois apporter 2 photos, de l'argent et je remplie un formulaire, qu'il me donneront là-bas je suppose?.... Tu as passé pas ce procédé?

Residence permit : permis de séjour, ça ne te concerne pas, c’est pour les résidents de longue durée, les expatriés.
Visa délivré à KIA à toute heure d’arrivee d’avion.
Le formulaire est fourni sur place.
Photos (et prise d’empreintes) faites sur place.
Vaccin fièvre jaune théoriquement obligatoire uniquement en provenance de zones d’endémie, donc le Canada n’est pas concerné. Maintenant, la législation tanzanienne sur le sujet est très changeante, donc si pas de contrindication, la vaccination est plutôt recommandée (et elle est maintenant considérée par l’OMS comme valable à vie).
Entre 2002 et 2017 nous avons fait un certain nombre de fois les formalités d'entrée pour ce pays, trois fois en prenant le visa d'entrée à l'ambassade de Tanzanie à Paris (nous avons arrêté à partir de la fois où, à une ou deux heures près, ils ont failli expédier nos passeports à Dijon...) et une petite dizaine aux aéroports d'entrée, soit le Kilimanjaro International Airport (Arusha/ Moshi), soit le Julius Nyerere International Airport (Dar Es Salam).
Nous n'avons jamais eu à partir avec des photos d'identité, mais juste à tenir la pose à l'arrivée devant l'appareil photo informatisé du poste de police des frontières.
vous possédez une expertise qui n'est pas mienne, cependant lorsque l'info provient d'un lien vers le ministère des affaires intérieures de la Tanzanie relayé par un site gouvernemental canadien... ben on candidement a tendance à croire la validité de la source !! 😇
Ceci dit, j'ai pour habitude de voyager avec quelques photos d'identité dans mon bagage, cela est peu contraignant , peut éviter certaines galères (ce qui ne semble pas être le cas ici) et alléger la procédure advenant une affluence devant le Kodak du poste frontière !!! 😎
Merci à tous pour vos réponses, j'apprécie beaucoup. Je ne prendrai pas de chance et apporterai 2 photos. Elle me ferons peut-être sauver du temps et sinon tant pis! L'important est que je sois certaine de pouvoir obtenie un visa à l'arrivée.
Pour ce qui est du vaccin, s'il n'est pas obligatoire je verrai....je me souviens m'être informé il y a quelques années parce qu'il était recommandé pour la jungle au Perou et il coutait dans les 300$ par personne. Comme nous n'y passsions que 4 jours et vu le prix je ne l'avais pas pris. Je verrai pour la Tanzanie. En autant que je sois certaine qu'il n'est pas obligatoire au cas ou je ne le prend pas...je ne voudrais pas me faire refuser à cause de cela....
Merci encore😊

Je maintiens, il est inutile d'emporter avec toi des photos d'identité, sauf si vraiment ça te rassure, car les autorités tanzaniennes ne pourront rien en faire. La photo de visa ci-dessous te montrera pourquoi : le visa comporte une photo digitalisée obligatoirement prise sur place dans l'aéroport d'arrivée.
C'est pour cela que le site officiel de l'immigration de Tanzanie précise que les deux photos requises le sont pour les visas demandés à des ambassades : "For those lodging their applications through embassies", qui éditeront le visa avec une photo scannée.
Bon, ça, c'est fait, et c'est tout à fait mineur, deux photos ne pèsent pas bien lourd, alors si tu en as et que tu veux être rassurée à 500 %. Mais je prends le pari, si les douaniers s'en servent, de tes photos papier, dis-le moi, je veux bien me la couper.
Ma moustache, oeuf corse...
En revanche pour ce qui est de la vaccination contre la fièvre jaune, je te conseille de bien réfléchir et de bien te renseigner peu avant ton départ, car la législation tanzanienne sur le sujet est assez fluctuante : elle a changé quatre fois en dix ans !
Je me permets de citer notre site safari-tanzanie.net :
La vaccination contre la fièvre jaune, même quand elle n'est pas obligatoire (elle semble l'être en provenance de certains pays, un renseignement simple mais pourtant difficile à obtenir), est fortement conseillée si l'on compte se rendre sur la côte (Dar Es Salam, Zanzibar). Dans les autres régions, il convient de prendre l'avis de son médecin seul à même d'évaluer le rapport bénéfice/inconvénients. Le site de l'ambassade de Tanzanie en France semble avoir un temps de réaction important, donc méfiance, mais les sites gouvernementaux tanzaniens ne semblent pas des plus réactifs, ainsi que les personnels de l'immigration. Il faut dire à la décharge de ces derniers que le 31 janvier 2008, le brave fonctionnaire chargé de régler ces problèmes de vaccination/non vaccination au Kilimanjaro International Airport (l'aéroport d'Arusha) nous a exhibé une note administrative du 11.01.2008 qui rendait obligatoire la vaccination antiamarile (fièvre jaune). Cette note était ornée en gros et gras de la mention... "CONFIDENTIAL", comprenne qui pourra.
En janvier 2012, la vaccination n'est exigée que des passagers en provenance d'un pays d'Afrique où la fièvre jaune sévit. Mais cela peut changer, rappelez-vous comme dit mon ami Alain, un sage parmi les sages : "L'Afrique est imprévisible !".
[...]
Pour autant, les conseils donnés aux voyageurs par le ministère français des affaires étrangères restent toujours d'actualité. Je cite :
<>
Parles-en aussi à ton médecin (il y a des contrindications à la vaccination, en ce cas, il est toujours utile de lui demander de le certifier par écrit - et en anglais) et aussi, demande-toi si cela peut te servir pour d'autres voyages en Afrique ou en Amérique du Sud.
De toute façon, vaccin ou pas, photos ou pas, don't worry! Tu vas te régaler, profite !
Les tour-opérateurs de Tanzanie avertissent leurs clients d’un changement dans le processus d’obtention du précieux sésame touristique. Le visa à l’arrivée…
Est-il toujours possible d'obtenir son visa (passeport Français) à l'arrivée à Zanzibar, arrivée avec Kénya Airways, combien coûte-t'il? payable en dollars?…
Nous partons pour Dar es salam prochainement.Je prefererais prendre le visa en arrivant à l'aeroport? Nous sommes 4 et nous arrivons vers 22H. Est ce possible…
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!
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,
Seb
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?
