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...

moi jme suis fiancée cet été avec un frére du bled mais je n'ai pas fais l'acte de mariage. On m'a dit que c'etait plus rapide de deposer dabord un dossier de demande de certificat de capacité à mariage à fes avant de faire l'acte, j'aurais aimé avoir confirmation ou pas si l'un de vous est dans mon cas, qu'il me tienne au courant inchalah.

bonsoir ( nemo 1001) j ai reçu mon livret de famille et j ai prendre le rendes-vous
svp est ce que vous me dire les documents ce qu il faut pour le visas long sejour
merci d avance😄
salam (ferdaous)oui c est vrais que c'etait plus rapide de deposer dabord un dossier de demande de certificat de capacité à mariage à fes avant de faire l'acte, parce que moi aussi je suis passee avec ccm
il faut que vous prendre le rendez-vous .bonne chance
bonjour il ne te faut pas grand chose en papier pour la transcription juste piéce d identité l acte de mariage en arabe et l original traduit en francais un acte de naissance des deux époux et c'est tout il me semble
tu dis te marier cet été j espère que tu as demandé le ccm avant sinon je veux pas te decevoir mais tu es pas sortie de l auberge
moi je me marie dans 1 mois mais je suis passé par le ccm qui fu d ailleurs deja laborieux et j avoue que quand je vous lis tous et que je constate que le livret de famille est donné après plusieurs mois d attente c 'est affolant
surtout que c'est écris deux mois sur le site du consulat mais ca c'est jamais produit
a cause de tout ca j ai du quitté mon travail car on ne supportais plu toutes ces séparations et j en suis qu au début
alors franchement bon courage et bonne chance a tousss
deja c 'est obligatoire maintenant le ccm ( certificat de capacité de mariage) il faut prendre rv au consulat d ou dépend ton futur mari (par via le site du consulat )
il faut attendre 6 mois environ pour avoir ce rv (de l a il faut donné divers papiers, tout est indiqué sur le site je te joint l adresse a la fin de mon message, ainsi qu un peit intérogatoire chacun de votre coté qui dure environ, 15 minutes chacun) et seulement ensuite vous vous mariez avec ce ccm ce qui te permet ensuite d avoir ton livret de famille plus rapidement et donc de demandé grace a ce livret un visa conjoint
j ai lu ici que bcp ce sont mariés sans ccm je c'est deja pas comment car maintenant les adoules les demandent d office sinon il reffuse de nous marier mais bon on c'est qu au maroc tout s achéte alors je cherche pas plus loin
http://www.consulfrance-ma.org/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=124
bonne chance et surtout bon courage
http://www.consulfrance-ma.org/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=124
bonne chance et surtout bon courage
SALUT MERCI DONC si j'ai bien compris je dois faire d'abords la ccm après je vais faire l'acte de mariage et quand je fais la ccm je dois attendre combien de temps merci de me répondre et bon courage a tous le monde;j'ai oublie en faite je suis étudiante et est ce qu'il demande la maison parce que moi j'attends jusqu'à qu'il viens après je loue la maison.et donc je suis en retard j'ai même pas pris de rendez vous .merci gros bisou
une fois que vous avez fais la demande de ccm et donc passé a l entretien et bien c environ deux mois d attente pour le recevoir (si c'est favorable bien sure )
des que vous l avez l a vous vous mariez devant un adoule puis vous allez faire la transcription, ensuite quand la transcription est faite l a c au bon vouloir de ces messieurs dames pour envoyer le livret de famille et des que tu as le livret de famille l a il peux demander un visa conjoint pour te rejoindre en france
donc la première chose a faire demander un rv sur le site du consulat pour demande de ccm car c'est la première longue attente un conseil garder toutes les preuves de votre histoire les lettres, photos etc etc tout ce que tu peux
obligé de faire le ccm avant le mariage, et bien selon moi oui et selon le consulat aussi, a priori maintenant y en as qui ce marient sans faire le certificat de capacité de mariage seulement pour faire transcrire le mariage ensuite ils sont obligé de prendre un rv et d avoir aussi une enquéte et de ce fais on les fait attendre bcp plus longtemps leur livret de famille car ils ne font pas les démarchent dans l ordre
car quand tu passe par le ccm et bien pour aller faire transcrire ton mariage au consulat de fés (ou autre je ne c'est pas de quel consulat dépénd ton ami) et bien tu auras pas besoin de rv tu pourras y aller comme cela
et pour les photos et vos correspondances en faite c etait un conseil car effectivement plus tu as de preuves de votre relation plus c'est bénéfique pour vous et aussi garde des preuves de tes voyages au maroc en sa compagnie car c'est ce qui va etre le plus utile
que tu sois etudiante n est pas un problème ce problème ce posera uniquement au moment ou il fera une demande de visa conjoint car l a tu te dois de pouvoir subvenir a ces besoins quotidiens, de le loger etc etc
donc a ce moment la et a ce moment la seulement il te sera demander des fiches de paie etc etc ou preuves autre de tes revenues mensuels
voila j espère avoir répondu a toutes tes questions bonne soirée si tu veux me contacter par émail ce qui serait d ailleurs plus simple voici mon adresse nathdecaen@yahoo.fr

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?
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

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! 🙂

Question: Is the I-94 form required, mandatory, and should it be filled out on the bus or in advance???
Thanks for your RECENT experiences!
See you, Jean.

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.

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,

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.
