Résidence et séjour de longue durée (deux mois ou plus)
Les Français séjournant deux mois ou plus aux Philippines doivent être titulaires d’un visa correspondant à la nature de leur séjour et préalablement délivré par l’ambassade des Philippines à Paris.
Tu as le droit en qualité de ressortissant Européen à un visa gratuit de 30 JOURS , mais la compagnie aérienne , ne voulant pas payer ton rapatriement en cas de problème te demanderas une preuve de capacité financière de sortie du territoir Philippin :soit un billet de transport de sortie du pays
Comme il a été expliqué et détaillé des dizaines, - que dis-je? Des CENTAINES de fois-, sur ce forum, il te faut effectivement un billet d'avion qui te permettre de sortir du pays au plus tard 30 jours après ton arrivée.Tu devras demander une extension payante 29 JOURS avant le délai gratuit des 30 JOURS ans un bureau d 'immigration.
résumé : tu peux arriver sans visa et monter dans ton avion mais avec en poche , un billet valable de sortie du pays pour une destination voisine à petit prix (la compagnie aérienne ne peut s' opposer ainsi à ton embarquement), mais obligation de faire sur place une prorogation payante limitée à 29 J. si pas suffisant tu repayeras pour 30 J supplémentaires!
Le visa de 30 jours est gratuit, MAIS, les 29 jours suivants te
couteront 3030 pesos, ce qui annulera la gratuite des 30 jours!
En faisant ton visa de 2 mois en France il ne te couteras que
la moitie! (30 euros).Et tu feras une prolongation de 30 jours avant la fin des 2 mois, meme plusieurs semaines avant si tu veux recuperer ton ACR-card, obligatoire apres les 1ers 59 jours.
Salut.
PS: il te faudra quand meme un billet de sortie au bout de 59 jours, sauf si tu as un billet Aller/Retour, auquel cas il sera inutile.
Meme si ta date de retour va au-dela de 59 jours.

Salut,
Affirmarif ! Si tu n'as de billet de sortie de territoire, on ne te laissera pas partir. J'ai failli avoir le souci il y a 1mois 1/2.
Je voyage toujours dans le sens Davao / Paris / Davao. Donc à Paris, à mon retour vers Davao. Je n'ai pas de billet de retour, prouvant la prévision de sortie du territoire.
Habituellement, je prends un billet "jetable", à bas cout, qui fait office de cette preuve.
Mais là !!!! J'ai oubliè.
Heureusement je suis tombé sur des hotesses sympa , (Singapour Airline) qui ce sont débrouiller à m'avoir un billet de ce type vers Koalalampour. Bien sur , pas au même prix que j''aurais pu en avoir un autre.
Mais tout le monde n'a pas ma chance. Un ami français de Davao, revenant de France, a fait la même chose.
Sauf qu'a Paris et à Songapour, on l'a laissé partir.
Et c'est à Davao, qu'on a pas voulu le laisser passer.
Il a été refoulé sur Singapour, où il a du payer le voyage qu'il venait de faire (refoulement), un nouveau billet pour revenir à Davao, et un autre billet de sortie du territoire.
Par contre, tu dis vouloir rester 3 mois.
Si tu connais tes dates de retour, tu peux prendre un billet A/R à tes dates, et tu n'auras plus de soucis. On te laissera partir de ton aéroport d'embarquement.
Pour l'histoire du visa, tu as le choix.
Arriver sans visa, et on t'en donnera un d'office de 30 jours à ton arrivée à Manille.
Tu auras le droit de le prolonger de 29 jours. Ici, à Davao, cela m'a couté le 18 mai : 2130 Pesos + 1000 pesos de Express Lane. soit environ 61,38€
Tu pourras ensuite, le renouveler, d'un, deux ou 6 mois. les conditions t'ont déjà été données.
Suivant où tu habites, je te conseilles de faire faire ton visa à Paris pour les premiers 59 jours, qui te reviendront à 30€ + les éventuels coûts d'envois. ( 30€ = environ 130 pesos).
Cela revient moins cher, que d'arriver sans visa et payer la première prolongation.
bon , je crois que le plus simple est de faire un visa .
si je pars 3 mois avec un visa de 2 mois , la compagnie va me laisser embarquer ?
pour le visa , étant de Lyon , par qui je passe ? il y a lyon-visa service qui le fait , mais ils demande fiche de paie, feuille d'impots et relevé de compte ! cout totale de 67 euro .(visa+frais)
@denisios: je vous avait envoyé un message privé, vous m'avez jamais repondu .
L’expérience est une lanterne que l’on porte sur le dos et qui n’éclaire jamais que le chemin parcouru.
tu peux passer par le consulat des philippines à lille, 35 € et bouclé en 1 semaine. en revanche si tu n'as ²pas de billet retour ou sortie des philippines tu ne partiras pas !
Bonjour,
Je suis tjrs parti avec 1 aller simple et sans visa, le justificatif (billet Kota kinabalu)m'a couté cette fois çi 1300php,25E et maximum 30 jrs aprés mon arrivée, je vais dans 1 bureau pour obtenir 1 mois, la fois d'aprés:2 mois et ainsi de suite...
Bonjour,
Désolé, mais malgré ma recherche, je ne trouve pas trace de ton message privé ! Renvoie le, STP. Merci
Je vais reformuler ta question : Si Tu pars avec un visa 59 jours ET un billet A/R de trois mois, la réponse est oui !
Pas de problème au départ ou à l'arrivée. (ci joint message du consulat des Philippines sur le sujet)
""Pour rentrer aux philippines ou demander un visa il faut impérativement un billet de sortie du territoire Philippin (retour ou continuation). La date de ce billet peut etre supérieur aux 59 jours alloués par le visa initial. Vous n'aurez aucun probleme pour rentrer sur le territoire meme si cette date se situe beaucoup plus tard que l'echeance des 59 jours. Vous pouvez prolonger votre visa au bureau d'immigration avant l'echeance des 59 jours. (prolongation possible jusque 36 mois) http://consulatdesphilippineslille.wordpress.com""
La suggestion de passer par le Consulat de Lille, pour ton visa, est la meilleur. Va sur leur site pour avoir les pièces à fournir. Voir message du consulat des Philippines

Le cout est de 27€ Plus les frais d'envois.
Pour le relevé de compte, éventuellement, tu masques les informations sensibles au stabilo noir, pour qu'on ne puisse les utiliser à ton insu. C'est ce que je faisais, quand je passais par " ...action visa.
Tu gardes seulement: non de la banque, nom de titulaire de compte, adresse, et montant actuel. Le relevé des diverses opérations, ils n'en ont pas besoin.
Et il n'a jamais té question de feuille d’impôt pour obtenir un visa. Laisse tomber ce service !!!
Mon amie philippine a besoin d'une réservation de vol aller-retour pour sa demande de visa touristique. Mais l'ambassade demande de ne pas acheter les billets.…
Je suis sur le point de réserver un vol pour l'Asie et je me demandais si l'escale de 3h20 à l'aller et 11h25 au retour à Riyad pouvait poser problème? J'ai lu…

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,
we’re planning our trip to the North Cape this summer. We bought a new vehicle for it. Unfortunately, the registration document is still being processed, and the delay seems long—I don’t think I’ll have it in time for our departure...
I have the transfer documents, insurance in my name, and all the supporting paperwork, but not the registration document. So my question is: does the ferry company require the registration document *mandatorily* when boarding in Denmark or not?
Thanks for any insights...
Hi everyone,
I bought a new apartment in Pattaya that will be finished at the end of 2013, and I’d like to buy more later...
I think it’s a good investment idea, but I’d love to hear from those of you with experience—what do you think? I’d also like to know how to handle rentals... Should I go through agencies, or are they usually rented out directly by the building management companies?
Thanks in advance for your replies! 🙂
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!

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!
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!
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
