tu peux rester au brésil autant de temps que tu veux MAIS si tu te fais controler tu auras 1 semaine pour sortir du pays et une amende équivalente au nombre de jours illégaux, qui n'est à payer seulement quand ou si tu retournes au brésil sinon si t'y retournes pas tu payes pas, tu ne peux rester que 6 mois(3 ET 3) par an au brésil avec un visa touriste, c'était en 2004 donc peut etre que les règles ont changé
Tu vas au chuttes d' iguaçu, tu vas visiter le paraguay et tu reviens, ou tu vas en Argentine. si tu préfère tu vas en guyane.
Tu reparts pour un visa touristique de 3 + 3 = 180 jours.

Réponse erronnée de nos 2 internautes !!!
A l'expiration de ton visa tu dois effectivement rentrer en France, et n'espére pas revenir avant un minimum de 180 jours au Brésil.
Ensuite tu peux choisir la solution de te mettre dans l'illégalité en ne quittant pas le pays après la date d'expiration de ton visa qui n'est pas "prolongeable".
Le risque, c'est quand tu te présentera à l'aéroport pour embarquer, tu devra acquitter avant embarquement d'une amende forfaitaire de 350 réals auquel s'ajoutera un décompte des jours passés sur le territoire brésilien en illégalité.
exemple pour un depassement de 0 à 30 jours = 350 R$
une dépassement de 45 jours , cela sera 350 R$ + 15 X 8 R$ = 470 R$ soit environ 183 euros.....
Sortir du pays comme préconnisé par notre ami brésilien et passer 2 jours en Argentine ou au Paraguay pour espérer obtenir 3 mois sans visa est une absurdité, car ton passeport comporte le tampon de ton visa précédent qui sera échu et donc la PF d'interdira de rentrer sur sol Brésilien pour le motif que ton premier visa sera échu et que tu ne respecte pas les 180 jours de sortie de territoire Brésilien pour l'obtention d'un nouveau délai de 3 mois.
Pour répondre à Caximbeiro sur la durée de séjour total que l'on peut obtenir avec un visa de tourisme en complément des 3 premiers mois de séjour sans visa, celle-ci n'est pas de 6 mois en tout, car 90 jours ne font pas 3 mois révolus mais environ 2 mois et 28 jours et que le visa de tourisme doit se demander environ 5 jours avant l'échéance des 3 premier mois sur place, le visa démarrant à partir du jour de délivrance donc en résumé on peut rester environ 5 mois et 20 jours en moyenne avec ensuite 181 jours hors du territoire Brésilien avant de pouvoir revenir ......
salut chico,
ma réponse est seulement mon expérience personnelle, je voulais pas te le dire avant si tu me dis que j'ai faux c'est que t'as raison , bon courage

Romain,
c'est simplement un correctif, car beaucoup de personne pense que 90 jours c'est l'équivalent de 3 mois, mais en réalité cela fait que 2 mois et 28 jours....
Pour le paiement de l'amende, il se fait avant d'embarquer dans l'avion pour le retour, finit le temps ou l'on recevait un tampon sur son passeport avec possibilité de payer lors d'un nouveau retour au Brésil 😮
cordialement

Chere Lily,
J'etais dans votre situation il y a 25 ans.. jusqu'a aujourd'hui et la solution est simple. Apres votre stage, vous sortez officiellement du Brésil a la fontiere de Foz do Iguaçu (profitez en et allez voir les Chutes do Iguaçu coté argentin..) Obs.: Vous pouvez sortir cote Paraguay ou Argentine, au choix. Le lendemain, repassez la fontiere comme touriste (3 mois renouvelable 3 mois si cela n'a pas changé). Si vous avez besoin de details, entrez en contact ! Marc
Je reprends cette discussion car j'ai plus ou moins le même problème.
Je fais actuellement un stage à Rio de Janeiro avec un visa VITEM 1 qui expire le 28 Août 2010.
J'aimerais savoir s'il était possible de rester plus longtemps en usant un visa touristique... le problème est que je suis déjà sortie du territoire brésilien en Mai (et donc coup de tampon à l'aéroport!). Ais-je donc déjà d'entamé sans le vouloir, à partir de cette date, un visa touristique OU mon visa de stagiaire prévaut-il de toute façon?
Et, même question que Lilly, car les avis semblent franchement diverger... peut-on user un visa touriste après expiration d'un visa de stagiaire?
Autre question, savez-vous quels sont les prérequis pour prolonger un visa de stagiaire et combien ça coûte?
Moi aussi je suis en stage à Rio, et écoute franchement j'entends tellement de choses sur ce satané visa que je ne sais vraiment pas où se trouve la vérité dans tout ça! Avant de partir, j'avais adressé un mail à l'ambassade du Brésil à Paris, qui m'a confirmé que je pouvais sortir du pays et re rentrer en tant que touriste. Mais avec tous les changements, et le post du gars qui nous dit que l'on ne peut plus re-rentrer au Brésil pendant 180 jours, la c'est la confusion à l'état pur!!!
Merci pour toutes ces info. Tu as l'air bien renseigné. Je ne sais plus qui croire pour être honnête. J'ai envoyé un mail à l'ambassade du Brésil en France qui m'a affirmé que je pouvais sortir du brésil et re-rentrer pour 90 jours comme touriste. A l'immigration de Rio, ils m'ont même dit que j'avais droit à un mois de plus sur le territoire brésilien après expiration de mon visa... 🤪🤪
A qui d'autre pourrais-je m'adresser pour être sûre????
Après être allée à la police fédérale et parlé avec un responsable, voici les informations :
- On peut rester avec un visa de touriste après fin du visa de stagiaire. Il suffit de sortir de la frontière un jour avant la fin de l'expiration du visa de stagiaire et re-rentrer et on a de nouveau un visa de trois mois renouvelable trois mois.
- Pour ceux qui ont déjà un visa de stagiaire et qui veulent rester plus longtemps parce qu'ils ont une proposition d'un autre stage (comme moi)... c'est possible de cumuler deux visa temporaire à la suite, sauf qu'il faut sortir du territoire (mais pas 6 mois comme cela a pu être écrit) : par exemple je termine mon premier visa le 27 Août, sors donc le 26 pour rentrer en france, refaire les démarches pour mon nouveau stage (redemander un visa temporaire) et je peux revenir au Brésil une fois que j'ai reçu le visa.
Bon maintenant j'ai une deuxième question...
Mon visa stagiaire expire le 27 Août 2010. Mon billet d'avion pour la France est le 29 Août. Soit deux jours passés dans l'illégalité...
Pensez-vous :
- que pour deux jours je paierai l'amende,
- que ces deux jours passés dans l'illégalité joueront contre moi dans la demande de mon deuxième visa de stagiaire (est qu'ils ont un "dossier" sur nous? héhé)
Je changerai bien mon billet d'avion pour partir le 26, mais ça me coûte 446 euros...
Je suis également allée à la police fédéral, et ils m'ont également dit que le mieux était de sortir du pays. Malheureusement, pour des raisons professionnels et financières je ne vais pas pouvoir d'ici l'expiration de mon visa. Comme toi je vais devoir rester, je crois que cela coûte 8R$ par jour de plus, le problème est ce tampom qui apparaitra sur le passeport. Je ne pense pas que 2 jours soient préjudiciables dans ton cas. J'ai un ami qui est resté un mois de plus comme ça et en rentrant en France personne ne lui a posé de problème... o jeitinho ajuda!😉

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 there,
I’m heading to Senegal in January for a month and was wondering if I just need my French driver’s license or if I should get an international permit?
Thanks!

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,
I’m writing to ask for some info—I’ve heard that you **must** have travel insurance to land in Zanzibar.
What’s the process, and which insurance should I get?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Best,

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
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! 😊
I’ve been to Thailand several times, but it was about 20 years ago…
There’s a new system in place now, it seems.
TDAC – Thailand Digital Arrival Card.
Before arriving, I apply for a TDAC, okay.
If during my stay I cross the border to spend a few days in Malaysia and then re-enter Thailand,
do I need to submit a new TDAC application?
Do I use the same TDAC as when I first entered the country?
Or do I initially have to pay for a Thai multi-entry visa?
Thanks in advance for your insights—I can’t find the answer online.
My partner (Mexican) entered France on January 21st as a tourist. She was therefore entitled to stay for 90 days in the Schengen Area. She’ll be leaving for Mexico on April 16th, so she’ll have “used up” 86 days.
She plans to return to France on July 18th. According to the European Commission’s Schengen calculator, this new stay “may be authorized for a maximum of 90 days.” That’s not very clear ("may be," "for a maximum of").
The text of Article 6 of the European regulation (2016/399) states that for a stay planned in the territory of the Member States, not exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period, one must examine "the 180-day period preceding each day of the stay." That’s not very clear either.
My partner wants to return to France for a 90-day period starting on July 18th. Is this possible?
There are two ways to look at it:
1) The first day she spent in the Schengen Area was January 21st. That day will drop out of the calculation 180 days later, on July 20th.
From July 20th, she’ll get back 1 day of possible stay; on July 22nd, 2 days; and so on. All the days from her previous stay (January 21st–April 16th) need to be outside the 180-day rolling window.
The last day of her stay was April 16th. Looking 180 days ahead, that brings us to October 13th. From that date, she’ll be able to return for a full 90 days.
2) The number of allowed days is calculated for each day of the new stay. In other words: the 180-day window is recalculated every day, not fixed at the entry date.
If she re-enters France on July 18th, she’ll only have a “credit” of 4 days. But with each day of her new stay, one day from the previous stay (January–April) will drop out of the calculation. The rolling window allows her to “replace” days from the previous stay with those of the new stay, without ever exceeding 90 days in any 180-day period.
In this case, my partner could stay in France for 90 days starting on July 18th.
The Prefecture doesn’t provide any information, nor does Air France, and in the forums I’ve checked, opinions are divided. Thanks for any insights you can share!
Hello,
We’re planning to travel to Indonesia (Sulawesi with family) next July and August for a stay longer than a month (about 6 weeks).
I’ve seen that it’s possible to get a 60-day visa before departure, but I’ve also read about people having a lot of trouble getting it (some even didn’t manage and had to leave without it).
We absolutely need to have these 4 visas BEFORE leaving because once we’re in Sulawesi, I’m not sure we’ll be able to go to an embassy to request a visa extension after 30 days.
In short, how can we **100% guarantee** that we’ll get our 4 60-day visas before our trip this summer?
Hello, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026!
We’re heading back in October for a trip through Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
I have a question: for our route, we’ll need to cross the Zambia and Zimbabwe borders twice each. From experience, I know we won’t have any issues with Botswana.
But for the other two countries, I can’t find a clear answer.
All your tips are welcome!
I’m currently a student on a gap year, and I don’t plan to go back to school right away. That said, traveling really interests me. But I’ve been wondering: does being a student come with any perks when you decide to go abroad? The real question is whether I should re-enroll in a program just to keep that status without actually attending.
