Pour le Laos je suis passé une fois par le pont de l'amitié a Nong Khai et la fois suivant par Chiang Khong, no problem
pour les visas à la frontière, de meme pour le Cambodge (je n'y suis pas allé) mais mes copais de Pattaya font la navette tous
les mois ou 3 mois pour renouveller leur visa
D'autres infos, hotel G.H au Laos, locotion ?

si tu as des questions sur la Thailande, je laisse les autres répondre, tu auras d'excellentes réponses en pagaillear contre le Laos est moins fréquenté. j'ai beaucoup apprécié la descente du Mékong au départ de Houayxay (face à
Chiang Khong) elle se fait en 2 jours, la 1ere nuit on s'arrete à Pakbeng et le 2eme jour on arrive vers 17 h à Luang Prabang
ville magnifique à visiter . Ensuite route avec mini bus (5 à 6 h) pour Vang Vieng, ville de routards, les environs super à visiter
Derniere étape pour Vientiane (3 heures) Si vous pensez faire ces villes j'ai les cartes des G.H et peux vous donner les infos Prix du visa +descente en bateau par personne = 16OO bths

Bonjour,
Je pars également 5 mois pour l'Asie; au programme: arrivée à Bangkok, puis aller/retour sur la Birmanie, puis Cambodge, Vietnam, Malaisie, Indonésie....enfin, selon le feeling et le temps. Mon souci principal est de savoir si je peux arriver à Bangkok avec un aller simple...Cela ne posera-t-il pas de problèmes à l'arrivée?En fait, Je pars de France métropole (début septembre) pour rentrer en janvier 2008 à La Réunion (où je vis) donc je ne prendrai mon retour que beaucoup + tard...Traverser plusieurs pays sans jamais ne pouvoir prouver un retour en France(DOM)? Est-ce possible??Merci de me renseigner si vous le pouvez.
Le Laos est un pays magnifique, d'une douceur de vie absolue où l'eau coule à flot...Faire le marché de nuit à Luang Prabang et y consacrer une bonne journée pour visiter les superbes et tous différents temples, aller à Nong Khiaw (en bateau ou bus co) et monter jusqu'à Muang Noi (bateau seulement).Vous y trouverez des bungalows en bambous au bord du fleuve...un spectacle permanent! Possibilité de trek s'il ne pleut pas trop.
Au plaisir e vous lire!
Merci

Salut
Les douaniers ne m'ont jamais demandé mon billet d'avion à l'arrivée à Bgk, j'ai d'ailleurs des copains qui ne partent qu'avec un
aller, ne sachant pas quand ils rentrent en France. Tu trouveras les meilleurs prix d'avion pour ton retour dans le quartier de
KAOSAN, saches qu'en arrivant à BGK tu as un visa de tourisme valable 1 mois, ensuite si tu vas dans un autre pays un certain
temps et que tu reviens en Thailande ton visa tourisme est reparti pour un mois
Bon voyage je pars en octobre avec mon épouse, encore 1 mois et 3 semaines à patienter
Température en Thailande actuellement à peu près partout 35 la journèe et 35 le matin

😉Salut,
le visa de 30jours n'est renouvellable que 3fois (on a le droit de rester que 90jours sur 180 aujourd'hui en Thailande sans payer)
on demande rarement le billet retour et si on vous le demande il suffit de dire qu'il est électronique (et en général pas de pb)
le visa Laossien est à 30USD à la frontiere pour 30jours
idem pour le Cambodge
La frontiere entre la Thailande et le Nyanmar au nord est actuellement fermée il faut y aller en avion!!! mais je croix qu'il y a moyen d'avoir des laisser passer à certains endroits (à vérifier) notament vers Chiang Sean!!!!!!!
La malaisie pas de visa et vous avez le droit de rester 90jours (attention si vous passez de la Thailande à la Malaisie par voie terrestre, c'est de plus en plus dangereux!!!!)
Pour ton billet retour il y a une nouvelle ligne aérienne entre Madagascar et BKK qui passe par la réunion, je crois, et pas trop cher!!!!

Bonjour,
partir de France avec un aller simple ne pose pas de problème (en principe) car certaines compagnies d'aviation, la Gulf particulièrement, refusent de vous laisser embarquer si vous n'avez pas de visa pour la Thailande. Donc si vous partez avec le but d'obtenir ce qu'on appelle un visa "on arrival" de 30 jours (et pas d'1 mois), évitez de partir avec la Gulf. Avec Qatar vous n'aurez pas ce problème. RRR s'exprime mal, car ce visa "on arrival" de 30 jours ne peut être renouvelé que 2 fois de suite et non 3 fois comme il l'écrit; en effet, on arrive(1), on a 30 jours, on sort et on revient(2) pour 30 nouveaux jours, on ressort et on re-revient(3) à nouveau pour 30 jours; ça fait 90 jours avec 3 visas "on arrival"dont le premier en débarquant de l'avion et donc au bout de ces 90 jours, et bien on est fermement prié par les officiers de l'immigration thai à rester 90 jours hors du territoire thai;
Par contre, si vous quittez votre pays avec un joli visa collé sur une page de votre passeport (60 jours simple entrée ou 60 jours double entrée) que vous avez payé au consulat de Thailande de votre pays d'origine; vous n'aurez aucun problème pour entrer au LOS (land Of Smile), en sortir, y revenir autant de fois que vous voudrez, tant que vous irez dans un consulat de Thailande pour y "acheter" un nouveau visa et ceci sans obligation de rester 90 jours hors de Thailande sur une période de 180 jours. Ce truc ne s'applique que pour les visas "on arrival" aussi appelés "visas run" .

Bonjour,
Merci pour ces précieux renseignements. Je récapitule et si vous le pouvez, dites moi si j ai bien compris.... Si je prends la Gulf, je dois prendre un aller/retour; si je prends Quatar (ou autres??), je peux partir avec un aller simple...et entrer sans problème en Thaïlande(??), en prenant un visa de 30 jours à l'arrivée. Je peux repasser 2 fois maximum en Thailande en prenant chaque fois un visa à l'arrivée . Quoiqu'il en soit, je ne compte pas séjourner longtemps en Thaîlande mais juste y passer, une première fois avant d'aller en Birmanie (je prendrai alors un A/R sur Bgk) puis une deuxième fois, après la Birmanie, pour ensuite me rendre au Cambodge par voie terrestre...Puis-je ensuite circuler sans justifier un retour en France (La Réunion) car je pense prendre mon billet le mois précédent mon retour(soit vers décembre/janvier)....depuis Malaisie ou Indonésie? Encore Merci! Bye Auré

A l'aeroport de BKK ca fait environ 3 mois qu'il est affiche qu'il faut presenter son billet retour a l'immigration, mais ils ne semblent pas trop appliquer cette regle.
Quant a la frontiere terrestre, il le demandent presque systematiquement depuis pas mal de temps a tous ceux qui n'ont pas de visa:


apparement ca à changé depuis Octobre 2006 je suis parti aujourd'hui à l'ambassade de thailande à paris et ils m'ont dis que pour un visa touriste c'est visa 2 mois renouvelable sur place 2 mois point barre.🙁
Moi aussi je dois partir 6 mois en asie du Sud Est est arrivé le 12/10/07 en thailande pour 1 mois puis aller au laos redescendre vers le cambodge, retour en thailande pour début janvier pour voir des potes descendre sur phuket puis finir par la birmanie😎.....Mais depuis ce matin je me dis que ca va être impossible de faire comme je voulai🏴☠️
A chaque fois que je parle de ça a quelqu'un on me raconte une histoire different alors je ne sais plus
je cherche des bons conseil pour mon périple....
Ben a l'ambassade de Thailande a Paris, ils feraient bien de verifier leurs infos: Le visa touriste c'est 59 jours, prolongeable (et pas renouvelable) sur place a dans nimporte quel bureau de l'immgration de 30 jours, puis encore 14 jours puis encore 7 jours moyennant 1 photo et 1900 Bahts a chaque fois. Ceci est valable pour un visa simple entree. Tu peux egalement demander un double entrees et recommencer l'operation une 2e fois. Cetains consulats delivrent meme parfois des visas triple entrees.
Encore une fois la restriction des 90/180 jours ne s'applique que pour les visa on arrival de 30 jours.
Tant que tu obtiens des visa touristes dans les consulats thais hors de la Thailande tu peux rester en Thailande aussi longtemps que tu le souhaites....
Rien!
Pour ma part, je me demande ce que je peux faire pour entrer 4 ou 5 fois en Thailande (et parfois pour très peu de temps, et jamais pour plus de 30 jours) sur une période de 4 mois. Si je comprends bien, je peux me faire faire un visa 60 jours / 2 entrées, et à partir d'un pays étranger, me demander de nouveau un autre visa 60 jours 2 entrées (j'obteindrai alors 4 entrées). (Question: ce visa 2 entrées: la 1re entrée, celle de l'arrivée en Bangkok, compte-elle?)
Autre possibilité: ne pas utiliser tout de suite en arrivant ce visa 60 jours / 2 entrées: prendre le tampon de 30 jours dans mon passeport, sortir du pays quelques temps, y revenir et activer à ce moment là mon visa de 60 jours 2 entrées. Ensuite, à la fin du voyage, je n'aurai qu'à demander sur place (à Bangkok) une prolongation si nécessaire. Après de longs efforts logiques, ce sont je pense les seules solutions qui s'offrent à moi. rQu'en pensez-vous???

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?
Thanks in advance for your advice

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

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.

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.

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!
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!

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?
