Bonjour
Savez vous ou trouver des informations claires et officielles a propos de ceci?
Parce que je m'etais toutefois longuement renseigne il y a 6 mois. Et lorsque j'ai demande a VFS a Paris lorsqu'ils m'ont delivre le visa, il m'ont bien dit, je m'en souviens, que il y a 6 mois de validite pour rentrer en Inde (jusqu'a la date indiquee sur le visa), puis des le premier jour sur le sol indien, encore 6 mois de validite. C'est ce qu'ils m'ont dit, j'en suis certain.
Maintenant je suis rentre le 7 novembre, avec une date d'expiration au 11 novembre (aujourd'hui). Je vais y rester quelques mois puisque c'est ce que je croyais. Mais je commence a voir que les avis divergent sur ce sujet.
Je ne sais pas vraiment ou trouver l'information OFFICIELLE de ces dates de validite. Et si on m'a donc menti a Paris, ben je suis dans la M !!! Mais bon je compte bien profiter de quelques temps ici.

I always wonder why birds stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the earth. Then I ask myself the same question.

Je ne sais pas où VSF a pêché ses informations, mais le visa est toujours valable 6 mois A PARTIR DE LA DATE D'EMISSION. A moins qu'il y ait eu de nouvelles directives, ce dont je doute. Voir sur le site de l'Ambassade de l'Inde, ou les appeler.
Ben, moi ce que je pense maintenant que je suis au courant de cette possible annerie, c'est qu'ils ont repondu sans trop comprendre ce qu'ils disaient. En tous cas, j'avais demande cette info parce que je savais tres bien que j'arriverai en inde au bout de 6 mois.
J'ai jete un coup d'oeil sur le site de VFS, et c'est dit que le visa est valide jusqu'a la date d'expiration. J'espere encore naivement que ceci signifie seulement que l'entree est possible jusqu'a cette date, avec un manque de precision sur le temps autorise en inde.
En iran et au pakistan, il y a une date d'expiration du visa, on peut y rentrer jusqu'a cette date. Puis il y a aussi un nombre de jour possibles sur le territoire (30 et 60 respectivement). Sur le visa indien, il n'est pas specifie clairement le nombre de jours maximum autorises sur le territoire (180 jours d'apres le site de VFS, mais toujours sans donner un lien CLAIR entre ces 180 jours, et les 6 mois entre la date de delivrance du 12 mai et la date d'expiration du 11 novembre qui en comptant font 184 jours).

En relisant je crois que je ne suis pas tres clair. En gros il y a un flou sur les termes employes et les info donnees.
Sur le site de VFS, il est dit :
"En général, l'Ambassade de l'Inde délivre un visa valable 6 mois, à entrées multiples."
Dans mon cas, c'est exact : du 12 mai au 11 novembre, 6 mois, soit 184 jours.
Sur le site de VFS il est aussi dit ailleurs que le visa autorise un sejour de 180 jours maximum sur le territoire.
Je crois donc toujours en un flou. Mais bon surtout, meme si j'ai tort et que j'ai ete stupide, j'aimerais avoir l'info correcte, et puis je vais tout de meme continuer mon voyage et pretendre que j'ai ete naif (ce qui est vrai en fait), ou trouver une solution.
Voila ben merci sinon.

mais pour moi c'est clair, c'est 6 mois à compter de la date de délivrance et non pas d'entrée, ça fait des années que je pratique ce visa, et crois-moi, en avançant ta naïveté, ça ne va pas émouvoir les autorités d'immigration si ton visa est expiré, tu n'auras que tes yeux pour pleurer.
oui oui je sais bien, je ne veux pas faire valoir ma naivete (je sais qu'en general il n'en ont que faire), je pense plutot prendre mon temps pour trouver une solution qui soit la moins pire :)
Je suis pas presse, et peu inquiet, et j'ai pas vraiment de responsabilites au pays du genre boulot famille ou etc. Donc advienne ce qu'il advienne.
Merci pour les reponses en tous cas, moi je file profiter de la gastronomie :)

Bonjour,
Je viens de lire message qui date maintenant, mais j'ai un problème qui ressemble alors je me demande comment tout ça s'est fini pour toi: je suis encore en France, mais je pars en août pour 5 mois. Et comme j'ai déjà fait faire mon visa, il expire un mois avant mon retour. Je pensais aller au Népal le dernier mois, du coup, mais quand même, je voudrais savoir si tu as réussi à faire prolonger le tien. On part en famille avec deux enfants, alors on préfèrerait anticiper.
Merci pour la réponse si tu es encore connecté à voyage forum.
Bonjour,
alors à l'époque, j'avais réfléchi un peu plus, et j'avais opté pour l'option "je règle le problème rapidement car je ne voudrais pas gâcher mes chances de revenir plus tard si j'aime le pays", et j'ai bien fait car j'y suis retourné deux fois.
Je n'avais dépassé que de quelques jours, j'ai été au service de l'immigration ou service des étrangers, essayé d'expliquer mon cas, pas facile, il y a du monde et ils n'ont pas de temps à perdre. Je voulais avoir une autorisation de sortie par la frontière terrestre, mais pas possible, unique solution : booker un avion pour sortir du pays, sinon ils ne me donnaient pas l'autorisation de sortie. J'ai booké un avion pour la France (mais ça pouvait être le Népal ou n'importe quel autre pays), suis revenu avec la date. J'ai payé 50€ et ils ont mis une étiquette dans mon passeport : "autorisé à quitter le territoire le 17 novembre 2009".
C'est tout.
Je pense qu'il serait judicieux de sortir du territoire avant l'expiration du visa. Donc l'option Népal peut être utile, et puis c'est un joli pays aussi. Cependant, sache qu'il n'est pas possible de revenir en Inde avant deux mois. En plus clair : si tu quittes le sol indien le 10 septembre, tu ne peux pas y remettre les pieds avant le 10 novembre. C'est un nouvelle règle depuis 2010. Donc si ton vol retour est depuis l'Inde, il faudrait t'assurer en téléphonant à VFS si tu peux faire le transfert par avion, ou si tu dois faire une dérogation à la règle vous permettant de rentrer en Inde de nouveau, ou faire un visa de transit.
J'espère que j'ai répondu à la question.
Tu peux me demander d'autres infos personnellement en trouvant mon email sur www.tourto.fr c'est mon blog, il y a aussi des histoires sur mon expérience en Inde dessus.

Bonjour,
Il faut quitter l'Inde à l’expiration des six mois de validité du visa, six mois depuis la date de délivrance du visa par l'ambassade.
On peut ensuite se rendre dans n'importe quel pays, dont le Népal, pour demander un nouveau visa qui ne sera valable que trois mois. Je crois qu'il n'y a que les ambassades de l'Inde en France et en Birmanie qui donnent six mois. Partout ailleurs, c'est trois mois, sauf aux États-Unis où les États-uniens peuvent avoir 10 ans !
Les visas indiens ne se prolongent pas. Donc on sort, et on revient.

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!
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?
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?...
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
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!
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, are there any travelers who’ve recently crossed the border between Karakalpakstan (Uzbekistan) and Beineu in Kazakhstan?

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.

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,

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!

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?
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! 😊
