Je vais partir en fin d'année pour une période de deux mois en Thaïlande et au Cambodge.
Idéalement serai 1 mois dans chaque pays.
Je compte prendre un aller/retour Paris/Bangkok je pense.
Donc en arrivant à l'aéroport de BKK, j'aurais droit à 30 jours de visa gratuit.
et ensuite je vais passer la frontière pour aller au Cambodge en payant mon visa pour une durée d'un mois. Donc jusque là pas de problème je pense.
Mais pour prendre mon vol retour au départ de BKK, je vais devoir revenir en Thaïlande, et comment ça va se passer pour le visa? je pourrai re-rentrer sur le territoire Thaïlandais quelques jours avant pour prendre mon vol retour sans soucis?
ou devrai-je prendre une extension de visa en Thaïlande d'un mois de plus avant de partir au Cambodge? Quand on quitte le territoire thaïlandais, on perd son visa?
J’espère avoir été clair, si vous voulez plus de renseignement que j'aurais oublier de noter, n'hésitez pas à me demander.
Cette question a été posée de nombreuses fois, une petite recherche sur le site vous donnera la réponse.
Si vous avez une réservation pour un vol Thailande/Cambodge au départ de France alors pas de problème car dans votre cas vous n'avez pas visa Thai et votre vol de retour est à plus de 30 jours après votre entrée. Il y a un risque non nul d'être refoulé à l'arrivée à Bangkok et la compagnie aérienne peut vous refuser l'embarquement au départ de France.
Coté exemption de visa pas de problème, vous aurez 30 jours à nouveau à votre retour du Cambodge.
Bjr pour vous aucun soucis vous perdez votre visa en sortant puis de nouveau 30 en réentrant. Juste fournir une preuve de sortie du territoire avant les 30 j.A+.
Rahan, y pouvait pas s'perdre car y savait pas où il allait
Pourquoi la compagnie aérienne ou à l'arrivée en Thaïlande on me refuserai?
Si mon séjour ne dépasse pas 60 jours, j'ai droit à 30 jours gratuit et de prolonger mon visa une fois de 30 jours dans un bureau de l'immigration en Thaïlande il me semble non? Ou cela a changé?
Donc pour résumer, je pense faire 25/30 jours en Thaïlande en arrivant par avion, puis me rendre au Cambodge par bus 21/26 jours et enfin retour toujours pas bus en Thaïlande pour 7/12 jours. Avec une durée totale de mon séjour ne dépassant pas 60 jours.
Pour mon retour en Thaïlande, mon passeport avec le visa cambodgien est suffisant ou il faut garder les documents de transport en bus aussi?

on peut te refuser car l exemption de visa ne dure qu un mois, la compagnie peut refuser de t embarquer pour cette raison, a priori s ils te laissent monter il y a peu de chances qu on te refuse a suvarnabhumi, mais mefie toi quand meme.
le mieux est de reserver un vol bkk phnom penh, siam reap, ou encore kuala lumpur, qui soit annulable, ca te fera preuve de la sortie du territoire thai dans les 30 jours, ensuite tu l annulle et tu recupéres tes billes (moins quelques frais)
la t es sur que ca passe
Donc en arrivant à l'aéroport de BKK, j'aurais droit à 30 jours de visa gratuit.
Vous n'y avez pas droit. On vous 'accorde' une exemption de visa - qui n est pas un visa - de 30 j à l arrivee.
La compagnie peut refuser votre embarquement si pas de visa et sans preuve de sortie du territoire dans les 30j.
et ensuite je vais passer la frontière pour aller au Cambodge en payant mon visa pour une durée d'un mois. Donc jusque là pas de problème je pense.
Ok
Mais pour prendre mon vol retour au départ de BKK, je vais devoir revenir en Thaïlande, et comment ça va se passer pour le visa? je pourrai re-rentrer sur le territoire Thaïlandais quelques jours avant pour prendre mon vol retour sans soucis?
On vous accordera probablement a nouveau une exemption de visa de 30 j.
ou devrai-je prendre une extension de visa en Thaïlande d'un mois de plus avant de partir au Cambodge? Quand on quitte le territoire thaïlandais, on perd son visa?
Non ne pas prendre.
Oui vous perdez votre exemption de visa de 30 jours si vous quittez le territoire.
Si visa, pas exemption, cf. re-entry permit mais ne s applique pas dans votre cas.
Pour resumer, si vous n etes pas fiché interpol, moins de 6 entrees regime exemption en thai, pas d entree terrestre en exemption cette annee courante, une preuve de sortie du territoire sous 30j, pas trop mal habillé, respectueux si question, 20 000 bahts a montrer au besoin, ca devrait le faire.
Bon, libre a chacun de trouver son niveau de 'blindage' du voyage.
Un super pote qui fait de frequents allers retours n accorde aucune importance a tout ca.
Et il a toujours eu de la chance (ivre mort a suvarnaphum, perdu son passeport, c est l officier d immigration qui trouve le num de sa femme en thailande et lui demande de venir le chercher, une nettoyeuse qui retrouve le passeport etc.) :).

Les vols low cost ne sont pas annulables et remboursables. Si on n'effectue pas le vol, on peut juste récupérer la taxe aéroport (ou taxe passager, selon si vol national ou international, c'est l'une ou l'autre appellation), qui représente une petite partie seulement du prix. Donc autant prendre un vol low cost sans bagage soute et sans assurance (Air Asia) pour gratter au maximum si on ne compte pas l'utiliser.

Yes, bon là maintenant sa femme est partie avec ... un autre farangset
Ok donc si je prends avant de partir un aller simple pour PP 29 jours aprés mon arrivé à BKK en plus de mon billet Paris/BKK, c'est suffisant pour partir sans soucis?
Et une petite dernière question, une fois sortie de Thaïlande, je compte faire un séjour de 3 semaines au Cambodge mais si je préfère revenir avant en Thaïlande je pourrai? je dois rester combien de temps hors de Thaïlande après avoir séjourné 30 jours?

Il n'y a pas de durée limitée hors du Royaume pour pouvoir revenir. Par voie aérienne, vous pouvez avoir une exemption de visa autant de fois que vous le souhaitez, à condition que la totalité des séjours en Thailande obtenus sans visa n'excède pas 90 jours sur une période de 6 mois et si vous pouvez à chaque fois prouver que votre séjour ne dépasse pas 30 jours.
Il serait cependant dommage de payer un visa cambodgien pour n'y rester qu'une journée.

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!

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?
