Aller aux USA pendant 3 mois puis en fin de visa, (passeport electronique))
Partir au mexique pour une durée indefinie, puis 😇
Re-rentrer sur le teritoire Américain pour une durée de 3 mois .......
Bonjour, cela me semble possible, mais il y a sans doute des limites, a vérifier auprès d'un consulat des USA. Mais tant que ce n'est pas pour travailler.
ca depend par ce que tu entends 'duree indefinie'...
si c'est 1 semaine ou 15 jours au Mexique: a la frontiere les officiers ne te redonneront pas 3 mois 'sans visa'! (c'est valable aussi pour le Canada).
apres si tu restes longtemps au Mexique, ca peut etre possible...

Jme reprends ...
En faite ...je dis " durée indefini au Mexique " car je ne sais pas (( si cela est possible )) combien de temps faut il rester au Mexique pour avoir à nouveau un visa de trois mois pour les USA ....
J'ai vu qu'au Mexique, pour travailler, il n'y avait pas besoin de " permis de travail " (( ou visa travailleur )) pour les resortissants Francais ..... ai-je bien compris ??? Si c'est le cas, j'attendrais le nouveau visa tout en travaillant ...si possible
Mon but est de partir le maximum de temps aux USA .... tout en passant du temps (( le minimum )) au Mexique ....
S'il y a des gens sur place qui pourraient me donner des infos ....jsuis preneur !
Merci à tous pour vos précédentes et futur réponsesssssssssssssssssssssss .
Ta réponse, tu l'auras sur place, à ton arrivée aux Etats Unis. C'est l'agent d'immigration qui décide, si oui ou non, tu peux bénéficier de l'exemption de visa....
- Tu vas sur le site de l’Ambassade des Etats-Unis :
« Tout voyageur sans visa, soupçonné par l’officier d’immigration de vouloir étudier, exercer un emploi ou séjourner plus de 90 jours, se verra refuser l’entrée aux Etats-Unis »
- Et sur le site de l’ESTA :
Une autorisation de voyage garantit-elle mon admission aux Etats-Unis ?
Votre autorisation de voyage électronique accordée, vous pouvez vous rendre aux Etats-Unis dans le cadre du Programme d’exemption de visa, mais votre admission sur le territoire n’est pas garantie. A votre arrivée aux Etats-Unis, vous serez contrôlé(e) au poste frontière par un agent d’immigration, lequel pourra refuser votre admission dans le cadre du Programme d’exemption de visa ou en application d’un article de la loi américaine.
pourquoi tu fais pas une demande de visa touristique de plus de 90 jours au USA?
la duree max je la connais pas, mais j ai cru lire qu il y en a de plus de 6 mois.
ca serait plus simple, non??

La réponse est la
"Generally, VWP applicants admitted under the VWP may be readmitted to the United States after a departure to Canada or Mexico or adjacent islands for the balance of their original admission period provided the person"
en clair du "récupere" le reste de te droits au VWP mais pas 3 nouveaux mois !
Bon voyage et surtout voyagez zen!

Si tu as l'intention d'aller aux États-Unis pour plus de 90 jours, tu n'es pas admissible au programme d'exemption de visa, point. Il te faut un visa américain avant de partir.
Le programme d'exemption ne peut pas être utilisé pour contourner le visa 😉 c'est tout prévu par les autorités américaines.
Sachez qu'on lit souvent ici des témoignages de gens qui comptent faire (ou ont déjà fait) des allers-retours (Canada, Mexique, etc.) pour revenir ensuite aux États-Unis. Très mauvaise idée, vous encouragerez éventuellement les autorités américaines à supprimer le programme d'exemption de visa, ce qui fait qu'il se pourrait que dans l'avenir, plus aucun Européen ne pourra aller aux États-Unis sans visa, même pour 1 semaine...!

C'est tout a fait possible tant que tu arrives a convaincre le douanier de ton "non-immigrant intent" (assez subjectif, c'est pour ca que l'on ne peut pas de donner de reponse claire).
Bon, vu le scenario que tu decrit, il est quasiement impossile de convaincre le douanier plus d'une fois. Il semble clair que tu ne veux pas quitter le continent americain. Du coup, la residence a l'etranger que tu n'as pas l'intention de quitter (def de "non-immigrant intent"), pas sur que tu en ais une.
Du coup, dans ces circonstances, tu te retrouveras coince au Mexique. Au moins le Mexique est meilleur marche (garder une attitude positive😉)
Bon, maintenant si tu nous decris ce que tu comptes faire aux US pendant une duree infefinie, on pourra peut-etre t'indiquer le visa qui te correspond.
Mon but principal si jai de la chance ....
Jpars à L.A pour 3 mois ((touriste)) avec juste skil faut pour vivre (( coloc / bouf /location de voiture ))
Si je peux trouver du taff sur place ..........jle fais, peux importe le taf ou déclaration........🤪
Le but étant de pouvoir y trouver un "visa de travail" avant de repartir
Le but est aussi de gagner des sous pour ne pas tt cramer et pouvoir repartir apres ... en regle😇
Dans tt les cas mon but est de travailler sur place ((L.A /// Mexique ))
Avec une exemption de visa, il est interdit:
1) De travailler
2) De faire un changement de status (et donc de changer de status pour en avoir un qui te permette de travailler)
Moi aussi je comptais utiliser l'astuce de partir au Mexique ou Canada pour renouveler mon visa touriste. J'ai une copine qui l'a fait (une seule fois) et ça a marché donc apres je pense que c'est au cas par cas, ça dépend de l'humeur de l'officier d'immigration et de ce que tu raconte.
Comme je compte partir vivre aux USA, je vais tout faire pour passer des entretiens d'embauche sur place avec mon visa touriste et dès que j'ai une reponse positive je repars en France pour obtenir le visa sinon si j'ai besoin de plus de temps je tenterais de renouveler mon visa en franchissant les frontières 🙂

Ouais c'est ça, j'ai interet a avoir un discours en béton mais j'ai envie d'essayer, je suis tellement motivée pour vivre aux USA que je suis prête à jouer la comedie si il le faut 🙂. On verra bien...

Mentir peut entrainer une interdiction de sejour. Il faut dire la verite, rien que la verite (mais pas forcement toute la verite). Pas besoin de donner des infos volontairement, particulierement si elles pourraient te nuire.
Je pense que les regles suivantes sont bonnes a suivre (postees par Mr.F, un avocat d'immigration, sur un autre forum):
"Every interview is different. It is normal to be nervous -- the examiners see nervous people all the time, so there is nothing wrong about that.
I give my clients three ironclad rules to follow -- this makes your job easier, the examiner's job easier, and protects you from potentially from doing harm to yourself.
1. Tell the truth, its easier to remember. Ancillary: Don't guess. "I don't know" or "I don't remember" are fine if they are the truth.
2. Understand the question being asked. If you don't understand, then you are guessing and violating rule #1. It is OK to say "I don't understand" "What?" "Can you repeat that" or even "huh??". The question will be rephrased.
3. Answer ONLY the question asked and nothing more. This rule is the hardest one to follow. You don't have to explain your answers unless asked. Example: Q: "Do you know what time it is?" The only correct answers are either "yes" or "no" -- if you say "8:30", you've given more than asked for .
Don't try to get into the DAO's head or figure out WHY she is asking a particular question -- you don't have the time or training for that. Just follow the above three rules."
Ok, merci pour les conseils de l'avocat. C'est ce que je pensais faire mais c'est vrai qu'on est toujours obligé de ne pas dire toute la vérité, du genre je suis sure qu"on va me demander "avez vous des amis aux USA?" et à cette questions je repondrais non parce que ce ne sont QUE des connaissances bien que ce soit mes amis en réalité. Je croise les doigts pour obtenir mon visa et ne pas avoir à passer le test ou encore mieux j'espère gagner ma green card à la loterie 🙂

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.

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. 😔
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,

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?
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
