Original post
Je pars du 31 janvier au 1 septembre pour la thailande.Je comptais faire un visa double entrée, sortir et rerentrer en avion au bout de 3 mois et 6 mois.Mais j'ai cru comprendre que je ne disposais à chaque fois que de 2 mois, prolongeable sur place de un mois.je suis un peu perdu.Comment dois je faire?
Pour être tranquille il foaut que tu paye un visa 1 an.

Bonjour polo,
Il n'existe pas de visa 7 mois, Par contre si vous etes interesse par l' apprentissage de la langue Thai vous pouvez beneficier d'un visa Etudiant 1 an en vous inscrivant a n'importes quelles ecoles agrees par le ministere de l'education. Je suis Manageur d'une ecole de Thai sur Bangkok, si vous etes interesse n'hesitez pas a me contacter.

Quand moi j'y étais, j'allais une foix par mois en birmanie pour refaire mon vis, un visa de 1 mois.
Il y a partout des minis bus qui se feront un plaisir de t'y enmener.
Pour une somme de 800 baths, avec lunch compris.

On l'a fait l'an dernier en famille: 7 mois avec une double entrée.
Quelques jours avant la fin de ta première entrée, tu vas à l'immigration (Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Ranong etc...) et tu demandes une prolongation de 30 jours (1900 baht).
Cela te fait 3 mois jusqu'à ce que tu quittes la frontière la première fois (tu peux quitter en terrestre qques minutes et revenir).
Tu recommences le même manège pour ta 2eme entrée et au bout de 3 mois tu quittes à nouveau la Thaïlande. Il te suffit de prendre (suivant ou tu es) un AR Air asia Kuala Lumpur-BKK ou n'importe quelle destination limitrophe avec Air Asia (pas cher) et tu auras ton visa run d'un mois à la descente de l'avion. Attention: au consulat de Lyon ils te donnent 2 X 58 jours et à l'ambassade de Paris tu reçois 2 X 60 jours pour un visa double entrée. Cela te fait 7 mois avec le visa run.

Oui, entre la première et la deuxième entrée tu peux passer la frontière en terrestre pour quelques minutes ( c'est ce qu'on a fait l'an dernier à Ranong ). Le seul hic, c'est comme pour toi, l'ambassade nous a demandé un billet d'avion pour la deuxième entrée. Ils ont JUSTE BESOIN DU RETOUR entre ta première et deuxième entrée.
On a pris un retour Kuala Lumpur - Phuket pour 500 baht (Air Asia) et on a joint ce ticket avec la demande du visa double entrée. Billet que l'on n'a pas utilisé puisqu'on avait passer la frontière en pédestre (enfin long-tail) à Ranong... Pour 10 euros ils te foutent la paix.
Attention pour ce fameux billet retour: ils veulent que tu le prennes au maximum au bout des 2 mois. Si tu pars le 31 janvier, prends un billet pour le 28-29 mars Kuala Lumpur-Phuket (par ex) au moins cher que tu transmet a l'ambassade ou ton service de visa. J'ai eu un peu de mal à comprendre cette histoire l'an dernier, mais ils ne tiennent pas compte que tu vas prolonger ta première entrée et exigent donc un billet qui doit ce prendre au max au bout des deux mois. Tu t'en fiches, ton billet c'est juste pour les papiers. Tu ne vas pas t'en servir.
L'ambassade à paris me demande juste les deux entrées en thailande
je compte donc leur présenter mon aller retour paris :Février-septembre et un autre aller 3 mois après février Kuala lumpur - Phuket
Par contre, est ce que ces billets apparaissent sur le visa passeport?
Est ce que je peux vraiment rentrer en terrestre pour la 2ème netrée (ils m'ont dit NON à l'ambassade)
Et pour le septième mois, je suis obligé de faire un aller retour avion : est ce que le cumul des 6 mois +1mois qui apparaitront sur mon passeport, ne poseront pas problème pour rerentrer en thailande?
merci
Tu fais juste une petite erreur de date sur le billet Kuala Phuket. Tu dis que tu veux le prendre pour 3 mois après ton arrivée en Thaïlande. Comme je te l'ai expliqué sur un autre post plus haut, l'ambassade ne tient pas compte de ta prolongation d'un mois sur ta première entrée et exige un billet au terme des deux mois d'arrivée en Thaïlande.
Par ex: tu arrives le 01 février à Bangkok, prends un Kuala Phuket pour le 31 mars maxi.
Contrairement à ce que te dit l'ambassade, tu peux rentrer en terrestre pour ta deuxieme entrée. Il est normal qu'ils t'ont dit non car tu es censé revenir par avion puisqu'ils exigent un billet d'avion pour ta deuxieme entrée. Leur raisonnement ce tient et ta manière de procéder aussi, mais tu n'est pas censé leur expliquer...
Pour le 7eme mois, tu peux, si tu es proche d'une frontière faire 2 fois la navette en terrestre. Tu auras 2 semaines de visa run à chaque passage.
Le cumul de tout ceci ne te posera aucun problème du moment que tu es d'apparence correct et poli aux douanes.

je comprends ta logique, mais la date de 2ème entrée a t'elle vraiment une importance pour l'obtention du visa, vu que j'ai de toute façon 6 mois pour l'utiliser, et qu'ils ne me demandent pas de billet de sortie de thailande.
Par contre, outre l'obtention du visa, il va bien falloir que je resorte de thailande après 3 mois, pour y rerentrer la 2ème fois.Mon billet d'avion sera perdu(je m'en remettrai)et ou suis je sur de pouvoir rentrer en terrestre pour ma 2ème entrée, sans galèrer 6 heures à la douane, ou prendre le risque d'etre refouler.(je vais me ballader dans toute la thailande, le lieu n'a pas d'importance pour moi, je prendrai juste le plus sur)
L'ambassade exigeait pour la deuxième entrée un billet au terme des deux mois de notre première entrée.
Je suis allé avec ta logique et ils m'ont répondu qu'ils ne m'accorderaient pas de visa dans ce cas. Ils ne sont pas censés savoir que tu y vas pour 6 mois. La durée légale d'un visa double entrée n'est que de 2x60 jours, soit 4 mois!! (valable 6 mois)
C'est à leur bon vouloir (toujours accepté si tu es correct avec le service immigration) qu'ils te donneront une prolongation d'un mois pour chacune de tes entrées. Ce droit ne t'ai pas acquis dès le départ!! Fais attention à ce point.
Souvent, les farangs qui prennent une double entrée, partent en fait 3-4 mois seulement. Ils sont plus rares ceux qui comme toi ou moi partent pour 6-7 mois. Ce sont souvent des "expats" qui n'ont pas de titre de séjour qui utilisent cette combine, formule.
J'espère que tu saisis mieux les subtilités. C'est important. Ta double entrée n'est bonne que pour 4 mois max pour l'ambassade. Ils partent du principe que l'immigration peux te refuser la prolongation d'un mois.
Pour le passage en terrestre, nous l'avons toujours fait à Ranong en 2 heures max tout compris (c'est mieux le matin à partir de 8-9heures). Et je te conseille vivement d'aller visiter 2 petits paradis juste à 1 heure de bateau de Ranong qui sont: Ko chang (le petit) et Ko Phayam. Ma base est au petit Ko chang (pas de voiture, tout piéton, sauvage et chaleureux). En espérant t'être utile.

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 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

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

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?

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!

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.
