En essayant de chercher dans le forum les réponses datent de 2007 2008 donc je voudrais savoir si il y a besoin d'un visa de transit entre delhi et kathmandou. Je fais paris delhi et delhi kathmandou avec la même compagnie air india merci de vos réponses!!!
Je confirme, pas besoin de visa. Je l'ai fait il y a 3 ans. On lit un peu tout et n'importe quoi à ce sujet. Beaucoup de monde prétend qu'il peut-être nécessaire, je ne sais pas trop d'où ils tiennent ça.
Peut-être pas sur VF ... Je réponds aussi aux questions sur le Routard et j'ai lu à plusieurs reprises des personnes stipulant qu'il fallait un visa de transit, car sinon ils ne pouvaient pas récupérer leurs bagages pour les enregistrer à nouveau pour Delhi-Kathmandou.
Le transit est en effet assez curieux, car les bagages ne suivent pas directement. On demande à chaque passager d'identifier ses bagages pour qu'ils les transfert ensuite sur le vol suivant.
En tous cas c'était ainsi en 2009. Peut-être est-ce devenu plus "standard" depuis.
Vu que je sens une pointe d'ironie dans la réponse ;-) j'ai cherché et j'ai trouvé ça : http://www.routard.com/forum_message/1329424/transit_delhi_vers_nepal.htm (voir les messages ou transit Delhi-KTM dit qu'il est nécessaire d'avoir un visa si on change de compagnie aérienne, pas de terminal)
Évidemment, si on doit changer d'aéroport, la question ne se pose pas vraiment. Mais les vols vers le Népal sont du même terminal que les vols internationaux vers Delhi à part semble-t-il ceux de la compagnie du Bhoutan Druck Air.
Bonjour,
Tu n'as pas besoin de visa si tu ne quittes pas la zone de transit et si tu n'oublies pas de faire enregistrer tes bagages du départ jusqu'à KTM (Idem pour le retour, insiste bien à KTM pour enregistrer les bagages jusqu'à ton point de retour). Je vais souvent au Népal, en 2011 je suis allée au Népal en passant par New Delhi, comme toi j'avais lu qu'il fallait un visa de transit. J'ai écrit à mon agence de voyage et à l'ambassade de l'Inde à Paris. J'avais reçu des réponses contradictoires. J'ai donc envoyé un mail à l'aéroport Indira Gandhi à New Delhi.
Je te joins ci-dessous leur réponses et la traduction que j'en avais faite :
If you have arrived on an international flight and have another international connection via DEL, both your flights will arrive and depart from T3 – Terminal 3. If your onward flight is in less than 24 hours, and you do not intend to leave the terminal, you are not required to have a transit visa. However, if you plan to exit the Terminal for any reason, please check with the Indian Consulate in your country for all visa formalities.
Si vous arrivez sur un vol international et avez un autre connexion internationale via DEL, les deux vols arriveront et partiront de T3 - du Terminal 3. Si l’attente pour votre second vol est inférieure à 24 heures et que vous n'avez pas l'intention de quitter le terminal, vous n'êtes pas obligé d’avoir un visa de transit. Cependant, si vous planifiez de quitter le Terminal pour une raison quelconque, vérifiez s'il vous plaît avec le Consulat indien de votre pays pour toutes les formalités de visa.
Furthermore, it is recommended that all passengers, transiting or transferring, are required to check with their inbound and outbound carrier on all boarding card and luggage related issues as they pertain to your connectivity via Delhi.
En outre, on recommande que tous les passagers, en transit ou en transfert, sont exigé pour vérifier avec leur transporteur arrivant et en partance sur toute la carte d'embarquement et des bagages des questions(publications) liées comme ils appartiennent à votre connectivité via Delhi.
En outre, on recommande que tous les passagers, en transit ou en transfert, se soient renseignés auprès de leur transporteur d'arrivée et de départ, sur toutes les questions ayant trait aux de carte d'embarquement et bagage qui concernent votre connectivité par l'intermédiaire de Delhi.
Upon your arrival into Delhi , please be advised that airline personnel will be available in the Transfer Area to assist you with any of your queries. A votre arrivée à Delhi, nous vous avisons que le personnel de la compagnie aérienne sera disponible dans le Secteur de Transfert pour vous aider sur n'importe laquelle de vos questions.
Pas besoin de visa. La confusion vient du fait qu'il fallait quitter l'ANCIEN aéroport de Delhi pour changer d'avoin. Depuis qu'il y a un nouveau, depuis pas mal d'années déjà, ce n'est plus le cas.
votre message est très intéressant. Cependant, je veux seulement m'assurer que j'ai bien compris:
je me rendrai à Katmandou en octobre prochain Paris-Delhi avec Air France et Delhi-KTM avec Indigo. Il n'est pas possible de faire suivre mes bagages de Paris à KTM parce que les 2 compagnies aériennes ne sont pas dans le même groupe (Skyteam). Je dois donc théoriquement sortir de l'aéroport pour prendre ma valise et la ré-enregistrer via Indigo Airlines. Je quitterai donc la zone internationale...
Dans cette situation, dois-je me munir d'un VISA quand même?
Je n'ai pas testé ce cas de figure moi-même, mais de ce que j'ai pu lire sur le sujet, pas besoin de visa. Une personne de l'aéroport va récupérer ton bagage pour toi. Tu dois pouvoir trouver ce genre de témoignage ici ou sur le forum du Routard.
ouais, j'ai lu ca moi aussi cette façon de faire, mais on dirait que j'ai de la difficulté à comprendre comment ils peuvent gérer ce genre de situation?!?Ca doit arriver très souvent!!!
bref, si qlq1 a expérimenté la chose, merci de nous en informer
Namaste, ben moi j ai beaucoup voyagé avec des changements d'avions(différente compagnie) après escale et pourtant je pars de bretagne mes bagages ont toujours transités (brest/ ktm) ou autre destination du coup jamais eu de soucis de toute façon normalement tu restes en zone de transit...renseigne toi quand meme ...en tout cas bon séjour au népal et si besoin de contacts ou autres faut pas hésiter...😉
J'ai souvent fais le voyage CDG/Delhi par Air India et ensuite Delhi/KTM avec une autre compagnie ( Jetlite/Jetairways ou autre sans jamais prendre Air India sur cette ligne. Je n'ai jamais eu a sortir pour recuperer mes bagages car a CDG les bagages sont etiquettes pour la destination finale. Le principe de reconnaissance des bagages a Delhi se fait en zone de transit.
A l'ambassade d'Inde ils ne seront pas en mesure de repondre et conseilleront de prendre un visa de transit ou autre.
merci beaucoup pour votre réponse. Je viens d'envoyer un courriel à Air France à savoir s'ils peuvent faire suivre mon bagage avec IndiGo. Je verrai une fois sur place. De toute façon, j'imagine que je suis loin d'être le seul à être dans cette situation donc à Delhi, ils sont surement pensé à leur affaire ;)
Bien hâte de visiter ce pays qui semble magnifique! 😎
j'ai une réponse officielle que je peux vous fournir dans la mesure où il n'y a pas besoin de sortir du terminal 3 de DELHI.
j'ai appellé le call center en france de air india (01 73 44 32 18) et le conseiller m'a confirmé qu'il ne fallait pas de visa dans la mesure où l'on ne quittait pas l'enceinte du terminal 3.
Je pars à Katmandou depuis Paris via Delhi avec air india du coup je me posais également la question! De toute façon c'est plutôt logique que lorsque l'on ne quitte pas la zone international d'un aéroport il n'y a pas besoin de visa pour transiter d'un vol à un autre.

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 bringing Seresta, an anxiolytic (tranquilizer) from the benzodiazepine family,

Same question for antibiotics?
Thanks a bunch!
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 there,
I’m a French citizen living in Switzerland, and I set up an RV LLC in Montana, USA. Through that, I was able to register 3 vehicles (an RV, a Jeep, and a Harley) with Montana plates.
I’d like to spend 3 months in Mexico, but it seems complicated—maybe even impossible—to cross the border from the US with all 3 vehicles.
Can anyone give me some advice?
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!

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?
Hi there,
My departure is slowly approaching, and now that I’ve got my Russian visa sorted, I’m fine-tuning the rest of my trip to Tajikistan. Since the Tajik visa is no longer required for stays under 30 days (for French nationals), I’ll need to visit the Ministry of Interior (OVIR) to register within 10 days of entering the country. No big deal, though, since I had to go there anyway to apply for my GBAO permit. 😉 However, I’ve *seen* several reports from travelers (mostly motorized) mentioning that you need an entry permit for Kyrgyzstan, which has to be arranged in advance at the Kyrgyz Ministry (consulate?) in Dushanbe. Otherwise, you’re *stuck* at the Kyzyl-Art border (with no Wi-Fi, of course, to try and sort it out). The most recent report was from a year ago, so I’d love to know if this is still the case and if it’s indeed at the Kyrgyz Ministry (consulate?) where you need to go for this pre-authorization.
Does anyone have any recent info on this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone.
I’m leaving for almost 3 months in the Philippines (11 weeks total) starting in early May.
I already have my round-trip ticket.
The problem is, I don’t have time to get a 2-month visa because the process takes nearly a month.
From what I’ve read here and there, I need a return ticket valid for less than a month when I arrive in the Philippines to prove my good faith.
After that, I can apply for a 30-day extension at the immigration office.
I’m planning to either buy a fully refundable ticket to the nearest country or a fake ticket.
For 3 months, I’ll need to extend my visa two more times before my return date to France.
My question is this:
Will immigration ask me each time I extend my visa by one month to show proof of an exit ticket matching the new visa extension date?
Is it possible to extend directly by 2 months before the initial 30 days expire?
Thanks in advance for your experiences and tips! 😊
I’ve been to Thailand several times, but it was about 20 years ago…
There’s a new system in place now, it seems.
TDAC – Thailand Digital Arrival Card.
Before arriving, I apply for a TDAC, okay.
If during my stay I cross the border to spend a few days in Malaysia and then re-enter Thailand,
do I need to submit a new TDAC application?
Do I use the same TDAC as when I first entered the country?
Or do I initially have to pay for a Thai multi-entry visa?
Thanks in advance for your insights—I can’t find the answer online.
My partner (Mexican) entered France on January 21st as a tourist. She was therefore entitled to stay for 90 days in the Schengen Area. She’ll be leaving for Mexico on April 16th, so she’ll have “used up” 86 days.
She plans to return to France on July 18th. According to the European Commission’s Schengen calculator, this new stay “may be authorized for a maximum of 90 days.” That’s not very clear ("may be," "for a maximum of").
The text of Article 6 of the European regulation (2016/399) states that for a stay planned in the territory of the Member States, not exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period, one must examine "the 180-day period preceding each day of the stay." That’s not very clear either.
My partner wants to return to France for a 90-day period starting on July 18th. Is this possible?
There are two ways to look at it:
1) The first day she spent in the Schengen Area was January 21st. That day will drop out of the calculation 180 days later, on July 20th.
From July 20th, she’ll get back 1 day of possible stay; on July 22nd, 2 days; and so on. All the days from her previous stay (January 21st–April 16th) need to be outside the 180-day rolling window.
The last day of her stay was April 16th. Looking 180 days ahead, that brings us to October 13th. From that date, she’ll be able to return for a full 90 days.
2) The number of allowed days is calculated for each day of the new stay. In other words: the 180-day window is recalculated every day, not fixed at the entry date.
If she re-enters France on July 18th, she’ll only have a “credit” of 4 days. But with each day of her new stay, one day from the previous stay (January–April) will drop out of the calculation. The rolling window allows her to “replace” days from the previous stay with those of the new stay, without ever exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period.
In this case, my partner could stay in France for 90 days starting on July 18th.
The Prefecture doesn’t provide any information, nor does Air France, and in the forums I’ve checked, opinions are divided. Thanks for any insights you can share!
Hello,
We’re planning to travel to Indonesia (Sulawesi with family) next July and August for a stay longer than a month (about 6 weeks).
I’ve seen that it’s possible to get a 60-day visa before departure, but I’ve also read about people having a lot of trouble getting it (some even didn’t manage and had to leave without it).
We absolutely need to have these 4 visas BEFORE leaving because once we’re in Sulawesi, I’m not sure we’ll be able to go to an embassy to request a visa extension after 30 days.
In short, how can we **100% guarantee** that we’ll get our 4 60-day visas before our trip this summer?
Hello, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026!
We’re heading back in October for a trip through Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
I have a question: for our route, we’ll need to cross the Zambia and Zimbabwe borders twice each. From experience, I know we won’t have any issues with Botswana.
But for the other two countries, I can’t find a clear answer.
All your tips are welcome!
I’m currently a student on a gap year, and I don’t plan to go back to school right away. That said, traveling really interests me. But I’ve been wondering: does being a student come with any perks when you decide to go abroad? The real question is whether I should re-enroll in a program just to keep that status without actually attending.
hi everyone,
I’m French and live in France, and my Thai girlfriend just told me she’s pregnant—she lives in Thailand. First step, a paternity test to set my mind at ease. What steps do I need to take to recognize the child? Can I do it before the birth or only after? Where do I need to go, and what paperwork is required?
Just to clarify, I want him to stay in Thailand but be able to come to France anytime without any issues!
Thanks for taking the time to read and reply.
