Bonjour tout le monde, voila je viens d'etre contacté pour travailler en RP, je voudrais donc savoir quel est le cout de la vie ( j'ai lu partout que la vie est moins chere qu'en France)??
Comment vit on avec 16000 pesos par mois? Le logement me sera fourni par l'employeur.
POuvez vous me donner des exemples de prix de la vie de tout les jours, combien vaut un logement, une voiture, ...
C'est un salaire très correcte par rapport a la moyenne d'ici, le logement (un petit studio dans un quartier acceptable) t'aurait coûté entre 5000-7000 pesos si c'est à la capitale.
Pour l'internet, regarde www.verizon.com.do out www.tricom.net
Au fait, si ce n'est pas trop indiscret, tu vas faire quoi comme boulot?
Merci pour ta réponse, normalement je vais faire cuisinier dans un complexe hotelier de Sosua.
Peux tu me donner des ordres de prix pour la vie de tout les jours?? nourriture, eau, éléctricité, vétement, etc...
Salut,
Ça depends de comment tu veux vivre, mais en general:
Nourriture 30% moins chère (sauf produits importés),
Eau: pas chère, mais pas potable,
Electricité: Là, c'est la catastrophe. Chère, et coupures très frequentes (plusieurs heures par jour selon les quartiers)
Vêtements: Importés la plupart, donc plus chers qu'en France. Exceptions: chaussures bon marché et tailleurs sur mesure, ça c'est super.
No, je ne connais pas trop la ville. Mais je suis sur que tu vas trouver plein d'infos sur le net, il y a beaucoup de français et autres qu'y habitent.
Je dirais la meme chose.... 16000 pesos/mois logement inclut, tu risques de passer de bons moments sans trop de probleme (sauf ceux de la vie courrente qui touche tout le monde (pannes d'electricite, d'eau etc)).
C'est facilement le double du salaire moyen de bien des dominicains! Vrai, qu'ils ont des proches pour se soutenir par contre. 🙂
Tu risques de te faire de bons amis par contre!
Entka... chanceux va! 😛 je te souhaite un bon sejour!!
"Impose ta Chance, serre ton Bonheur contre ton Coeur et va vers ton Risque..."
Merci pour les réponses.
Je ne suis jamais venu dans ce magnifique pays et j'aurais voulu avoir des precisions sur la vie de tout les jours, les formalités administratives et autres...
Bonjour HybridXP,
Je ne répond pas à ta question car je me pose la même, mais pourrais tu me dire comment tu as trouvé du travail là-bas car moi je veux partir y vivre.Merci
AMicalement Nathalie
Si le logement t'es fourni, c'est deja une bonne economie, mais 16 000 pesosm pour un doñ, c'est pas mal, pour un expat, c'est different.....
deja si tu veux une connexion internet normale (56 k quand il y a de la lumiere, c'est 1 700 pesos par mois, l'adsl 1 mega c'est un peu plus cher et cela n'est pas partout..) la tele (le cable ) c'est 500 pesos mensuel (cela vient d'augmenter de 20 pour cent 😕) pour une voiture d'occasion moyenne compte dans les 150 000 pesos, plus assurance, si tu veux une assurance medicale (a moins que cela soit compris dans ton contrat) cela a un cout....
pour tes papiers de residence et de carte d'identite ( cedula) compte environ 15 000 pesos en passant par un avocat car c'est possible de le faire tout seul mais c'est une sacre galere.
Un cellulaire : tu as plusieurs formules type abonnement ou chip (achat de la puce, si tu as deja ton cellulaire triband et puis cartes a acheter pour recharger ton compte) tu as plusieurs operateurs Orange, Verizon, Tricom, Centenial..et des promotions tres souvent en cas d'achar}t de cellulaire... Les meilleurs operateurs sont Verizon et Orange.
Pour la bouffe, travaillant dans un restau je pense que tu auras largement plus d'opportunites de varier les menus que si tu dois acheter ton poulet et ton riz ou tes platanos tous les jours 😎. Mais les produits exportes sont tres chers (je parle par rapport a un salaire d'ici)
L'essence, si tu as une voiture ... est de plus en plus chere, on arrive a un euro le litre de super 😕
La biere (une grande Presidente), c'est 55 pesos, en ce moment il y a une super promo de la biere Brahma, tu en as 3 grandes pour 100 pesos 🙂
Si tu fumes, le paquet de Marlboro est a ... on va dire 50 pesos suivant les endroits les prix different. C'est sur que c'est bien moins cher qu'en France mais a ce prix la tu as tendance a augmenter ta conso 🤪
En discotheque, un verre c'est environ 60 a 80 pesos... au moins ce sont les prix sur Boca .. sur Sosua je ne sais pas cela fait un peu loin pour aller verifier 😎
La vie reste moins chere qu'en France, c'est sur. Mais il faut faire un peu attention avec 16 000 pesos. Tu pourras quand meme faire la fete, rassures toi 😉 mais l'argent part tres vite tu verras 😎
En ce moment l'euro est a 41 pesos, pour faire simple on va dire que 1 000 pesos, cela fait 25 euros .. 🙂
La valeur d'un chef ne se lit pas dans son carnet de notes mais dans le regard de ses hommes.

J'ai trouvé cette annonce sur le site de l'Agence Nationale Pour l'Emploi.
Bonjour, j'habite à Puerto Plata, donc pas loin de Sosua. J'ai une excellente assurance médicale qui me coûte 13 000 pesos par an. A conseiller. Pour le reste, avec 16 000 pesos par mois tu pourras bien vivre sans problème, surtout que tu vas avoir la nourriture gratuite. C'est un très bon salaire pour ici.
La vie à Sosua est un peu chère, mais tu apprendras vite à trouver les bons endroitsp our tout acheter. COntreairement à quelqu'un qui t'a dit que les vêtements sont chers, je te dirai que tu auras l'embarras du choix pour vraiment pas cher (imitation chemise Lacoste très jolie pour moins de 10 euros!). Tu devras aller faire tes courses à Puerto Plata (15 minutes de Sosua) et il y a des guaguas pour vraiment pas cher. Les transports en commun sont excellents, il y en a énormément, il ne faut pas beaucoup attendre, et c'est super économique.
Attention quand même car Sosua peut être difficile à gérer pour un beau gringo célibataire....énormément de chicas attentives à l'épaisseur de ton portefeuille qui vont te faire croire n'importe quoi et tu vas succomber. Quand elles auront viré ton compte en banque, elles te laisseront là sans un regard, donc méfiance....
Si tu veux d'autres renseignements, il suffit de demander.
Merci a toi pour ces precisions, j'aurai encore une question au sujet du voyage en lui même et mes baggages en fait, comment cela ce passe a l'aeroport?? que peut on emporter, quelle quantité??
Pour le poids des bagages, tu dois demander a ton agence de voyages. Je pense que c est un peu different suivant les compagnies. Je crois que ca doit tourner autour des 25 kg.
J'ai pris une assurance médicale à ARS Popular, j'en suis très contente. Les bureaux sont situés dans la Calle Beller (qui donne sur le parc central).Elle me coûte environ 13 000 pesos par an. Le seul problème à PUerto Plata est de trouver une pharmacie qui travaille avec les assurances....il y en a 2 pour toute la ville, et elles n'ont pas toujours les médicaments. Hier, ça m'a pris tout l'après-midi pour essayer de trouver 5 médicaments assez courants puisque j'ai une allergie cutanée. Les prix ont varié de 3600 pesos à 2100 pesos. J'ai finalement trouvé (en faisant 6 pharmacies différentes!) 4 des médicaments et on a changé le dernier pour me donner quelque chose de proche. Exemple, une boîte de 10 antihistaminiques me coûtait 700 pesos (ils travaillent avec l'assurance et ça m'a coûté 140 pesos) à 840 pesos sans assurance!!! On croit rêver!!!

My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency?
- When did you start preparing for the USMLE?
- What advice would you give to someone still in medical school?
- Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids?
- Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency?
- What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!
Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has already had the experience of working abroad?
I don’t have a specific country in mind yet, so I’m open to hearing about your experiences on this topic—the pros and cons, etc.
Hi there!
I’m a young Malian looking to work in Morocco. Besides a passport, what other documents are required at the **Moroccan** border?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D
I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...).
Thanks again!
Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies.
PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant.
In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there?
Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on!
Thanks for your feedback!!
Hi there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia. I’m in electrotechnical maintenance—air conditioning, cold rooms, 220V/380V electricity. I’ve been a tradesperson for 3 months and can bring my full professional toolkit. If anyone’s interested, let me know!
You can send me a message.
Best regards,
I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too.
Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese?
I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga.
To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that...
I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background:
• I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*.
• I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor.
• Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience:
• I work as an *Employment Counselor*.
• I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0.
• I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles?
We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!!
Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin.
I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well:
I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers?
First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand?
Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]
Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol
Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
