Visa and Money

Hello,

Has anyone any any experience with Chase ATM (debit card) visa fees while in Madagascar, as to how much they charge for using Madagascar ATMS? Also, has anyone just Western Unioned themselves money and went to a BVF or BNI to pick it up?

With regard to the visa at the airport, any idea as to what is the general wait time from the plane to obtaining the visa?

Thanks!

Hi,
Myself and a group of 13 High School students are heading to Madagascar for a month from the 21st of November till the 20th of December. First of all, are there any foods or drinks that we should avoid eating? I have heard that Salads that have been washed are not recommended for consumption, likewise neither is ice that hasn't used filtered water.
Secondly, myself and my group only speak English, we will most likely be carrying a phrasebook, however I was wondering whether the language…

Hi everyone,

this post to inform travellers to Madagascar that Travellers cheques cannot be converted, if you cannot present your passport (of course) and the purchasing receipt.
I have been asking in several banks such as Société Générale and Credit Agricole but none would accept them. There Ihave been some problems (they said).

I had this problème in Morondava and Majunga. I cannot tell for Tana

Hey guys,

just wondering about 4 weeks travel in Madagascar. Travelling from the 16th of January by myself, i'm 28. Would love to dive with whale Sharks (am certified already) and see the fantastic wildlife and nature the country has to offer. Is this a good time to go? Are is it easy to get around? Where are the best places to go? Are there lots of people to meet?

Thanks people

Hi there
Does anyone have any thoughts on the average cost (on the low range) of a night's accommodations and meal in Madagascar? Any thoughts, idea would be fabulous.
Thanks much.
Cheers,
Linda

Hi all,

I'm contemplating spending most of my vacation in Madagascar doing sea turtle surveys on the Barren Islands off the coast of Maintirano. Has anyone been to that area- and what is there to do nearby? It doesn't make the LP at all. It will be the rainy season, so I won't be able to travel far.

Thanks!

Do understand that ' Postbank' cards powered by Maestro and/or Cirrus do not work in ATM's.

So no way you can ' pin' in this part of the world. Bring your Mastercard or Visacard for cash withdrawl.
