Original post
bonjour à tous, je voudrais savoir si quelqu'un à déjà utiliser un vol de Nok Air de Mae Sot pour Yangon.
Est il possible d'avoir un visa à l'arrivée à Yangon?
Merci de vos réponse.
Merci de votre réponse, je vais être dans le nord de la Thaïlande au mois de décembre 2013 pour plusieurs mois enfin le plus longtemps possible, je pensais prendre un vol Nok air pour Yangon renouvellement de visa. Vol pas chere mais pour le visa Myanmar il faut allé à Bangkok? (je pense) Peut -être possible avoir un visa birman à Tachilek, l'année passé janvier 2012 au poste frontière à Mae Sot , une personne qui fait la navette entre les deux postes frontière m'avait dit qu'il était possible de faire un visa de 15 jours à Tachilek (avoir aussi vol pour Yangon).
cordialement René.
j ai eu moi visa a l'arrivée en aout sans aucun problème ( j arrivais par la thai, mais je ne pense pas que cela change quoi que ce soit avec une autre compagnie)
A l'arrivée à Yangon ????? Alors là, je suis étonnée, à moins que tu n'aies demandé un visa business.
Le visa à l'arrivée n'a été délivré que durant quelques mois en 2010 pour être retiré ensuite. Depuis les voyageurs doivent demander leur visa avant d'entrer en Birmanie.

ecoutes, avant les valises, avant la douane, dans la premiere pièce; il y a 2 guérites spécialement dédiées a ces visas...c'était marqué dessus. maintenant moi ce que j'en dis...si tu ne me crois pas, tant pis.
l'essentiel c'était que j ai eu ce visa comme prévu, à l'arrivée sans souci et agrafé dans mon passeport.
bien sur c'était l'aéroport international pas l'ancien batiment dédié aux vols domestiques.
pour moi le débat est clos. j ai voulu y contribuer, mais si je suis un affabulateur, je stoppe là ce dial.
Je ne dis pas que tu un affabulateur, mais tu peux comprendre que c'est très étrange. A moins que tu ne sois pas un touriste, mais que tu venais participer à un work shop mandaté par une société implantée ou non dans le pays
Donc je suppose que tu as fait une demande écrite avant ton départ et que tu t'es présenté à l'immigration muni d'une lettre de l'Ambassade du Myanmar de ton pays.
Si tu donnais plus d'informations sur le pourquoi du comment cela pourrait aider les voyageurs qui continuent de chercher une ambassade du Myanmar pour obtenir un visa leur permettant de rester 28 jours dans le pays.

non c'est mon tour operator ( orient express) qui m'avait fait passer le papiers a remplir, je les ai renvoyés avec copie passeport et c'est tout. a l'arrivée il y avait, comme je le disais 2 guérites là pour délivrer les visas on arrival ( on était bien une quinzaine).
c'était simple, fluide et sans histoire.
donc effectivement c'est l'agence qui du juste faire son travail. je n'étais pas le seul et tout semblait évident pour eux....
je repars avec orient express en aout 2014, et ils m'ont déjà annoncés que nous referions la même chose..
voilà ma modeste expérience.
Ah ! enfin une explication qui tient la route. Merci.
Mais tu vois, en affirmant que tu reçois un visa en arrivant en Birmanie, sans explication, tu induits les voyageurs en erreur qui peuvent s'attendre à être traité de la même façon que toi.
Donc, pour finir, PAS DE VISA A L'ARRIVEE pour les touriste voyageant sans agence de voyage qui, de son côté se charge de remplir tous les papiers nécessaires pour ses clients. De plus Orient Express est une des agences les plus réputées dans les TO de luxe et se fend d'un service irréprochable pour sa clientèle.
Merci de cette précision !🙂C'est enfin clair 😏

si tu veux mais ce n'était pas une agence de voyage au sens propre du terme avec un groupe.
nous etions voyageurs solos, ayant achetes nos billets d'avions nous-mêmes ( pas par l'agence), et effectivement orient express s'est proposé de nous envoyer les papiers que nous avons remis au bureau des " visas on arrival" ( car ce bureau existe en tant que tel).
Bjr
dans la réponse que vous m'avez faite vous ne précisiez pas que vous aviez fait au préalable ( quelques semaines avant ) la demande de visa a l'arrivée a un correspondant basé a Rangoon (exactement le même système que celui pratiqué au Vietnam ) donc ce qui revient quasiment au même que si vous aviez fait la demande de visa avant -- sinon vous n'auriez probablement pas pu embarquer a Bangkok sans aucun visa pour la Birmanie
me trompe je ?
( la différence avec le Vietnam c'est que le visa a l'arrivée au Vietnam est 3 fois moins cher que celui demandé avant a Paris et donc intéressant a demander )
dans le cas de la demande initiale du voyageur sur ce post au départ de Maesot et dans le cas de ce qui avait été mis en place quelques mois en 2010 , c'est qu'il n'y avait pas besoin de demander avant - ****************** c'est le meme type de cas pour les entrées sorties par voir terrestre - elles sont possibles depuis longtemps ( je les ai pratiquées moi meme à plusieurs reprises en 2009 -2010 - mais exactement comme dans votre cas, il faut passer par un intermédiaire basé sur place !

Jpss bonjour, je viens de lire ton message et différents autres messages. quand remonte ton dernier voyage?
Depuis peu sur Nok air un vol pour Yangon depuis Mae Sot frontière à la hauteur de Tak nord de la Thaïlande. Différents messages me crée un doute. Pouvez vous m'éclairer?
Cordialement René.
bonsoir
c'est exact
nous avons envoyés les demandes remplies qui sont parties au correspondant qui nous les a renvoyés ensuite complétées pour les remettre au bureau avant la douane. cela nous a couté 39€ par visa.
ces papiers étaient fournies à l'enregistrement à CDG pour les vols cdg/bkk bkk/rgn en correspondance.
Merci, cette fois-ci, pour moi le sujet est clos ! 😏
il existe une possibilité de Visa "presque" a l'arrivée 🙂 pour les touristes ayant acheté des prestations sous forme d'un package, il faut effectivement transmettre les infos au préalable a l'AGV pour transmission aux autorités ... comme on le fait dans certains pays pour les visas de groupe son nom serait visa package 😉
on est tt de mm loin du VAO que l'on obtient dans de nombreux pays asiatiques

Bonjour
Je profite du post...
Je voulais savoir si quelque un connait visa en ligne...je dois faire ma demande de visa pour la Birmanie.
Il y a bien visa com mais "visa en ligne" est plus intéressant pour la réexpédition du passeport. Merci pour vos reponses

Bonjour,
as-tu consulté ce site à ce sujet :
http://www.visa-en-ligne.com/pays/birmanie.php
La procédure à suivre est clairement indiquée.
Un conseil pour plus de sécurité, puisque vous devez envoyer votre passeport, est d'utiliser les services de DHL dans les deux sens.

Merci pour votre réponse...oui j'ai imprimé les documents mais en tapant Google j'ai vu le site des arnaques...une personne semblait dire que c'était peu sur mais une autre a reçu son visa.
Oui j'utilise le recommandé avec accuse de réception

Je ne sais pas par où tu passes pou te rendre en Birmanie, mais si tu arrives à Bangkok, par exemple, tu pourrais faire ta demande de visa dans cette ville.
Il existe plusieurs options, le normale = visa en 3 jours ou express = visa en une journée pour autant que tu arrives à l'ouverture des bureaux le matin.
Peut-être est-ce plus simple en directe.

Malheureusement j'arrive par Kuala Lumpur...je devais passer par Bangkok mais billet trop cher
Vous pouvez alller à l'ambassade du Myanmar à Kuala, c'est plus tranquille que celle de Bangkok
Malaysia, Myanmar Embassy in Kuala Lumpur No. 8(C), Jalan Ampang Hillir 55000 City: Kuala Lumpur Phone: (603) 4251 5595, 42514455, 4251 6355 Fax: (603) 4251 3855, 4251 3535 Office Hours: 09.00-13.00
Ou faire une demande auprès d'une agence de voyage à Rangoon pour avoir une lettre d'approbation de visa, mais il faut patienter dans les 10 jours...et cela a un coût non négligeable d'au moins 55 USD. le mieux est de passer par l'ambassade.

Bonjour
Le problème c'est que je n'ai pas prévu de rester a Kuala.Je pars direct sur Rangoon.
C'est pour cela que je vais passer par Directs visa le site visa en ligne.
C'est pour cela que je vais passer par Directs visa le site visa en ligne.
C'est vrai que c'est le meilleur choix .Le seul hic c'est qu'il propose chrono post pour le retour a 60 euros...j'aurais préfère une réexpédition par lettre recommandé. Ça revient a 52 +60 soit 112 euros
C'est horrible ce tarif
Mais bon si c'est plus sur
Merci lili

évidemment difficile de prendre le risque d'envoyer son passeport en france depuis La Réunion pour la demande de visa ( action-visa est là le bon choix) ! la meilleure solution dans votre cas est évidemment est de contacter une agence sur place a Rangoon pour qu'ils s'occupent de vous faire un visa on arrival
le hic c'est comment vous allez les payer pour ce service si a fortiori vous n'utiliserez pas d'autre de leur services !

Peut on réserver nos cols intérieurs nous même si quelqu'un a une réponse. Peut on trouver sur place une agence pour réserver une voiture ou des treks?

Pour ton visa, je pense que c'est la meilleure façon de t'en procurer un, puisque tu ne passe ni par Bangkok, ni Kuala Lumpur, même si c'est vraiment plus cher.
Heu, excuse-moi, mais c'est "nos cols" ???
Pour les agences sur place, il y a Ananda, agence franco-birmane, à qui tu pourrais t'adresser pour organiser tes trecks et/ou louer une voiture.
Autrement, j'ai un ami birman sur place, guide anglophone par contre, qui pourrait éventuellement t'organiser quelque chose.

Bonjour a tous
J'envoi mon visa aujourd'hui et je voudrai savoir si le fond bleu ciel sur la photo passe ou non.
L'ambassade précise uniquement 2 photos couleurs et sur un autre forum quelqu un disait qu'il fallait un fond blanc pour la photo.
Merci pour vos réponses rapides Je pars bientôt et j'ai peur d'être en retard pour le visa

50 jours , cela me semble confortable comme délai 😛
Certes, un rêve de beignet, c'est un rêve, pas un beignet. Mais un rêve de voyage, c'est déjà un voyage.

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?
Thanks in advance for your advice

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

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. 😔
Hi,
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 everyone,
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?...
Thanks for your help

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
https://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/information-par-pays/mongolie/conseils-aux-voyageurs-entree-sejour
that a visa is still required if you’re coming from Mongolia. True or false? And if true, what’s the process? Thanks

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!
Hi there,
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!)
Will Ryanair let me board in Beauvais in 3 weeks?
Thanks for your advice—this is a bit urgent 😕😕😕😕

Hello,
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.

Hi there,
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?
Thanks so much for your answers! 🙂

Hi everyone,
Some French friends are visiting NYC (4/5 days around mid-May) from Montreal, Canada. They’ve got their eTA and ESTA approved!
Round-trip transport by bus.
Question: Is the I-94 form required, mandatory, and should it be filled out on the bus or in advance???
Thanks for your RECENT experiences!
See you, Jean.

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,

Hi there,
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!
Best regards,
Gilles

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!

Hi,
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?
Thanks for sharing your experiences! 😊

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!

Hi everyone,
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?
Thanks for your feedback.

Hi there,
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?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
