Je pars au Burkina Faso du 17 octobre au 10 janvier 2010. Je souhaite à la fin de mon séjour partir quelques temps au Mali.
Je voulais prendre mon visa pour le Mali en France (vers mi/fin septembre) avant mon départ pour le Burkina cependant étant donné sa validité de 3 mois il ne seras plus valide quand je voudrais aller au Mali.
Ma question est donc est ce que je pourrais prendre ce visa au Burkina? Comment cela se passe? Quel est le prix?
Est ce que quelqu'un sait si il y a une autre ambassade du Mali autre qu'a Ouagadougou car moi je serais à Banfora et faire l'aller/retour que pour ce visa ne m'enchante guère.
J'espère que quelqu'un prendra le temps de me répondre.
Merci.
Julie
Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse. Du coup cela m'enlève une épine du pieds!
Est ce que pas hasard vous savez si c'est pareil pour le Niger? Est ce que je peux avoir un visa à l'ambassade du Niger au Burkina?
Bonjour,
Je viens de me rendre compte que vous êtes le prorpiétaire de la maison d'hôtes que je voulais contactez pour mon arrivée à Ouagadougou avant d'aller à Banfora.
En fait on est 4 étudiante éducatrice qui venons faire un stage au Burkina.
Pourrions nous vous réservez les 2 chambre avec la salle de bain commune?
Est serait il possible que vous veniez nous cherchez à l'aéroport?
Nous ne resterons qu'une nuit car dès le lendemain nous souhaitons aller à Banfora.
Bonjour, le coût du visa est pratiquement la même chose dans les pays de la CEDEAO.
Donc pour dire que le prix du visa pour le Niger peut s'obtenir auprès de l'ambassade du niger cerainement autour de 20 000f
Tu peux prendre tes visas à la frontière, ou dans les différentes ambassades.... saches qu'ils sont moins cher là bas qu'ici, y compris celui pour le burkina....
Je peux prendre mon visa en arrivant au Burkina? à l'aéroport?
Je sais que quand j'étais aller au Kenya c'est en arrivant à l'aéroport de Nairobi que j'avais pris mon visa.
Est ce qu'on peux l'avoir directement? parce que moi je vais pas reste sur Ouagadougou.

Concernant le visa du Burkina, je vois souvent des gens le prendre directement à leur arrivée, même au beau milieu de la nuit. Toutefois, on m'a tjrs recommandé de le prendre avant le départ. A voir peut-être avec votre compagnie d'avion: je me souviens qu'une fois on m'avait vérifié mon passeport avant le départ pour être sûre que j'avais un visa... Concernant le visa malien, tu peux l'avoir à la frontière pour 10'000 CFA et 2 photos (pas sûre, mais tjrs utile d'en avoir sur soi). Je l'avais eu à la frontière de Koro, au Nord, après OHG, en avril 2007. La seconde fois, en décembre 2007, le monsieur du poste frontière était un peu plus berné: on n'avait pas eu le visa, mais simplement le cachet de la frontière. Inutile de dire que le billet qu'on lui avait remis est (sans doute) tombé dans sa poche. Mais on ne s'est jamais fait contrôlé du côté malien, et aucun problème pour rentrer à nouveau au BF (faut dire aussi qu'on était juché sur un camion de marchandises et que personne n'a visé notre passeport). Pour le visa du Niger, on pouvait aussi l'avoir à la frontière, mais c'est une info à vérifier. A voir aussi si le visa nigérien n'est pas limité (c'est le cas pour celui du BF et du Togo qu'on prend aux frontières: à faire prolonger par la gendarmerie ou le service des passeport).
Voilà pour ce que je sais, j'espère que votre séjour au BF vous plaira, Banfora est une bien jolie région avec plein de choses à découvrir. Bon voyage !

Bonjour,
je projette un voyage au Laos depuis la France en transit par la Thaïlande avec 2 entrées Je passerai peut être 7 jours max en Thaïlande ( aller / retour).
Le vol repéré : entrée BKK et retour France = 31 jours après.
Avec la nouvelle règlementation / visa
"A partir du 15 septembre 2026, les ressortissants français détenteurs d'un passeport ordinaire pourront séjourner en Thaïlande, sans visa, jusqu'à 30 jours, à des fins touristiques uniquement, contre 60 jours auparavant."
D'après vous, comment le comptage est il fait ?
- nombre de jours sur le territoire thaï ?
- date entrée et sortie : nombre de jours entre les deux ?
J'aurais tendance à opter pour la 1ere option mais dans le doute afin d'éviter tout tracas administratifs avec la Thaïlande ( amendes et autres...).et avant de prendre mon billet, vos avis m'aideraient bien..,
Bonjour
J'explique ma situation, ma fille et sa petite famille viennent de partir vivre en Polynésie plus précisément sur île de Raiatea.Bon très bien, bien sûr avec mon épouse nous allons leurs rendre visite , mais voilà les vols passant par les états unis nous pose problème car nous nous sommes rendus à Cuba, je pense qu'il nous faut donc un visa.
Quelqu'un a t'il déjà été confronté à cette situation.Quel conseil pouvez vous nous donner, sur les vols et visa .
Merci à tous pour vos retour.
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

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,
I’m writing to ask for some info—I’ve heard that you **must** have travel insurance to land in Zanzibar.

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?
