bonjou a tous
voila je pense partir pour un voyage de plusieur mois en partant de la thailande et de revenir aussi par la thailande...
je pars avec un visa de 2 mois que je vais renouveller pour un mois ensuite je pars pour le laos, cambodge, vietname et peut etre chine ou autres.
donc ma question est: comment faire pour revenir en thailande pour une periode d'1 mois ou 2 apres avoir deja pris et renouveller un visa touristique de 2 mois, moins de 3 mois apres avoir quitter le pays???
j'espere avoir des reponses qui pourrons m'aider a voyager plus sereinement
merci
Bonjour,
Je suis actuellement en Thailande, je suis aller au Laos, et à mon retour ils m'ont refait un visa... Ce qui prolongé mon précèdent visa de quelques jours. Mon visa s'arrete mercredi, je pars en Malaisie et à Singapore, lors de mon retour à Bangkok, ils me referont un visa. J'espère t'avoir aider un peu..

Hello,
Je sais pas où ta vu que tu peux pas revenir en thailand pendant 90 jours si tu y es déjà 90 jours.
En tout cas sache que dans la pratique c'est faux.
Je suis en thailand depuis presque 1 ans maintenant.
La seule chose qui est vrai, c'est que tu dois sortir de la thailand chaque fois que ton visa expire.
dans ton cas lorsque tu sera au Laos, passe par l'ambassade de Thailand à Vientiane pour faire un nouveau visa. dans cette ambassade ils font aussi les "Visa double entrée".
Le visa double entré ca veux dire en gros qu'il te donne 2 Visa. Lorsque ton premier visa expire, alors il faut aller à un poste frontière (concrètement tu sors et tu re-rentre dans le pays pour qu'un agent du poste frontière tamponne ton 2eme visa). Ici y a tellement de personne qui font ca (entrer et sortir du pays juste pour poinsonner un visa) que ca a même un nom, "le visa run".
En fait ce Visa double entré, c'est ce que tu aurais dû faire dès le début (avant d'arriver en thailand pour la première fois) car comme son nom l'indique, ca te permet d'entrer 2 fois.
salut, merci pour les infos
donc je n'ai qu'a prendre un visa double entrée a paris(je ne suis pas encore en thailande, je par dans 3 mois)avant de partir et le tour est jouer!!?je fais mes trois mois je continu mon perriple et a mon retour en thailande environ 2 mois plus tard je me fais re-tamponner mon visa?et y a t il des difficultées pour l obtention de ce visa?
merci
en fait oui et non..
y a un petit détail a savoir avec le visa double entré, c'est qu'une fois que tu as utilisé ta première entré, tu as un délai pour utilisé la seconde entrée.
De mémoire je crois que tu as 3 mois et quelque jour pour utiliser la seconde entré.
oui c'est stupide car dans ton cas si tu reste en thailand 3 mois la première fois, il faut que tu re-rentre quasiment directement pour utiliser ta deuxième entré. sinon elle devient périmé. donc pas le temps d'aller visiter un autre pays.
En fait le double entré est utile si tu reste en thailand par exemple 2 mois, puis que tu sors 1 mois dans un autre pays, puis que tu reviens au moins 1 mois en thailand.
Donc dans ton cas autant que tu fasse que des simples entrées. la première fois en france puis ensuite dans le pays où tu sera avant ton deuxième passage en thailande.

Petites precisions sur le visa en thailande
récisions sur l'exemption de visa :Le séjour ne doit pas excéder 30 jours; c'est a dire qu'il faut quitter le pays au plus tard le 30 ieme jour, inclus. Exemple, en supposant une arrivée dans 7 jours :ADMITTED : 21 Aug 2010UNTIL : 19 Sep 2010(Saturday)c'est le jour d'arrivée(Sunday) il faut donc quitter le pays (passer l'immigration) avant le 19 Sep 23h59; après cette date, c'est l'overstay, a moins de faire prolonger la durée du visa. calculateur des dates d'expiration du visa...En cas de sortie prématurée, les jours non utilisés sont perdus.Renouvellement du séjour : pour les touristes éligibles a l'exemption de visa, il est possible de quitter la Thailande (pour visiter les pays voisins, par exemple) puis y revenir. Une nouvelle "autorisation de séjour", gratuite, sera délivrée a chaque fois que vous reviendrez en Thailande, permettant un séjour ne dépassant pas :15 jours si le retour a lieu par une frontière terrestre (depuis janvier 2009), 30 jours en rentrant par un aéroport.Prolongation de la permission de séjour : les touristes qui ont été admis a séjourner en Thailande en exemption de visa (15 ou 30 jours) peuvent demander une prolongation (de 7 jours maximum) a un bureau d'immigration, avec une photo d'identité, 1900 Bahts, le formulaire TM7 et selon les cas, le billet d'avion prouvant le départ de Thailande dans les 7 jours. Autorisation donnée a la discrétion de l'immigration (un overstay précédent n'est pas favorable).Mais je vois pas l'interet d'un visa a double entrée si à chaque fois que sors et rentre du pays ont te donne un nouveau visa...

Alors déjà il faut savoir que le Visa, on te le donne pas. Le Visa est payant (ca dépend des périodes).
Ce qu'on peut te donner, c'est juste une autorisation de séjour exempté de Visa. Et c'est pas la même durée qu'un Visa.
cas 1. Si je passe du laos en thailande par la frontière terrestre sans Visa, je pourrais rester 15 jours en thailande
cas 2. Si je passe du laos en thailande par avion sans Visa, je pourrais rester 30 jours en thailande
cas 3. Si je passe du laos en thailande (quelque soit le moyen de transport) avec Visa, je pourrais rester 60(+30) jours en thailande
Alors maintenant à quoi ca sert le double entré ? Je vais y répondre. En fait ca sert a pas se taper un passage dans une ambassade thailandaises tout les 3 mois. Si on a un double entré, on ne passe par la case Ambassade que tout les 6 mois et on se tape juste un passage frontière (sans passage dans une ambassade) tout les 3 mois. Alors c'est quoi la différence entre un passage frontière et un passage ambassade (la j'attaque le "Visa pour les Null") Ba le passage frontière ca consiste simplement à passer la frontière du pays, point barre. C'est simple, il suffit donc généralement de ce rendre dans le pays voisin le plus proche d'où l'on est. Le passage ambassade c'est une autre histoire par que les ambassade y en a pas partout et elle ce trouve plus loin que les frontière. En général il faudra aller dans la capital du pays voisin pour trouver l'ambassade. Vientiane, Kuala Lumpur..
Bref entre un passage frontière et un passage ambassade y a pas photo si on peut éviter de repasser par l'ambassade c'est beaucoup de frais en moins.

Houla non !
Voilà ce qu'il faut retenir :
Ton Visa à 2 caractéristiques :
A - un durée de validité : Lorsqu'on te délivre ton Visa, tu as un délai pour l'utiliser. Après 3 mois il est périmé. ca n'a rien a voir avec sa deuxième caractéristique B
B - une durée de permis de séjour : Ca c'est le temps que ton Visa te permet de rester en thailand.
Aussi attention, ton Visa exipre aussi lorsque tu sors de la thailande.
En gros, on te délivre ton visa à l'ambassade, là tu as 3 mois maxi pour entrer en Thailande. Un fois entré tu peux rester 2 mois (+1 mois avec l'extention)
Donc quand tu demande un VISA double entré, tu as 3 mois pour utiliser tes deux entré. Donc ta deuxième entré dois avoir lieu maximum 3 mois après la date de délivrance.
Aussi attention je ne te parle que des doubles entré ici. J'ai vu aussi qu'il y a des multi entré mais une chose est sur, si ils existent encore on ne peut pas les faire en thailande et dans les alentour non plus.. ou alors c'est la grosse info du jour. Le maximum que j'ai trouvé c'est de faire un double entré au Laos. A Kuala Lumpur il ne délivre que des simples entré.
Je suis clair? ..

bonjour,
le visa double entrée est valable 6 mois à compter de la date de délivrance, donc, si tu entres dans la pays quelques jours après la date de délivrance du visa , tu peux rester 3 mois ( 2 mois + 1 mois de prolongation sur place ), et il te restes presques 3 mois pour y entrer à nouveau pour 3 mois : c'est ce que mon fils et moi avons eu, lui en 2008 et moi en 2009.
Mais pour les reseignements les + à jours, la meilleure adresse est le Consulat de Thaïlande.

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 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 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

Hi there,
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 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! 🙂

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!
Best regards,
Arnale
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.

Hi
Has anyone been to Rwanda recently and gotten a 3-month visa on arrival easily?
Thanks
