J'ai une possibilite d'aller travailler au Maroc. A 2, nos revenus seraient de 36 000 dirhams, nets d'impots, a Casablanca. Je ne me rends pas compte vraiment de ce que cela represente ? Une indication sur le niveau de vie que cela offre ?
Aussi, que penses les voyageurs, les habitues du Maroc, les expatries, de la vie a Casablanca ?
hello Salam bonjour
c'est pas mal 36000 dh par mois pour deux sauf si vous louez une grande maison avec parc et piscine mais Casa reste une ville hyper vivante et surtout oups, la circulation, en voiture, ça devient galère, mais le Maroc c'est super chouette quand on aime, c'est pour la vie et pour partout.
si vous n'avez rien trouvé pour vous loger, essayez du côté des Sablettes, il y a une gare pour les trajets vers la ville.. C'est juste une idée, parce que je me pose souvent par là bas chez des amis et j'aime bien la proximité et l'éloignement en même temps de la big Casablanca.🙂
En gros la vie est trois fois moins chère qu'en France mais je dis ça en fonction de mes besoins sans connaître les vôtres..
😉
Tu n'y as jamais vécu?
Certes les clementines sont 3 fois moins chéres
Mais les loyers des logements corrects sont enormes, les frais de voiture identiques à l'Europe, comme les charges maison assurance et fluides, les écoles trés cheres, la secu pas donnee .... etc..
Quand on s'expatrie pour le boulot, on aime en general garder sinon ameliorer son train de vie
OUI c'est ce que je dis, c'est en fonction de MES besoins, pas des besoins des autres.
oui, j'ai vécu au Maroc !!!! et oui !!!!
mais pas dans le Maroc cher, non, alors désolée, mais tout le monde n'a pas les mêmes besoins j'en conviens.
N'ayant pas envie de me faire traiter de "troll neo liberal" et avant que cela tourne "point godwin" , je vous laisse votre sujet et le soin de developper vos convictions.
tu peux regarder le lien dans ma signature, on en parle régulièrement :)
36.000 dirhams nets d'impôts par mois, c'est très bien ou correct, selon le mode de vie, le quartier, la volonté de scolariser les enfants dans une école internationale.
En fait, surtout à Casa, plus le niveau de revenu est élevé, plus le coût de la vie l'est, et rejoint les normes européennes.
Les loyers sont assez élevés dans les "bons quartiers" (Les sablettes, ce n'est même pas Casablanca, c'est Mohammedia, c'est loin pour une navette quotidienne), selon vos besoins ça sera entre 4.500 et 6.000 - 8.000 dirhams par mois.
L'électricité monte vite dès qu'on a une clim, un chauffage, une machine à laver la vaisselle, un chauffe-eau électrique pour une famille...
L'internet c'est 500 dirhams par mois pour la fibre
Qui dit voiture dit obligatoirement frais de parking, compter entre 10 et 50 dirhams par jour
Pour les restaus, soit vous mangez dans des petits restaus marocains, soit vous allez dans des restaus plus occidentaux, dans ce cas l'addition est au minimum à 100 dirhams, voire 200 - 250 avec de l'alcool. Et selon le quartier où vous travaillez, vous n'aurez pas le choix : difficile de trouver une "chawarma" ou un tajine sur le pouce dans le triangle d'or.
Après il y a le reste : par exemple, un abonnement dans une salle de sport comme City Club, c'est plus de 4.000 dirhams par an. Une séance de cinéma c'est 50 dirhams...
Mais vous êtes dans la tranche d'imposition la plus élevée, celle des privilégiés, donc. Pas encore l'Eldorado
mais pas dans le Maroc cher, non, alors désolée, mais tout le monde n'a pas les mêmes besoins j'en conviens.
On ne parle pas du Maroc, mais de Casablanca.
Toutes les études comparatives la cite comme une des villes les plus chères d'Afrique. Kelboulé a parfaitement raison.
Et quand tu as vécu aux États-Unis, tu as peut-être un niveau d'exigence en matière de confort de vie et de qualité de l'habitation....
Pour preciser, les impots me sont payes, la Secu et la retraite aussi
Au Maroc, les impôts sur le revenu sont prélevés à la source pour les salariés, c'est pourquoi on raisonne et on négocie en net. Par contre, si vous avez des revenus en dehors de votre travail, il faut les déclarer.
La CNSS et le régime de retraite sont obligatoire pour toutes les entreprises. Par contre, c'est très peu. C'est "mieux" que sans assurance aux US, mais c'est clairement très peu. Une mutuelle complémentaire est loin d'être du luxe.
En tout cas, sans enfant - et sans prévoir d'en avoir à court terme - 36.000 dirhams nets est largement suffisant pour vivre bien à l'aise.
Oui, c est en effet ce que l on m a dit pour les impots, le lycee les paye pour moi. Il me paye aussi la secu et la retraite en France. Les 36 000, c est ce que l on a dans la poche a la fin du mois.
Le lycée ? Faites le bien marquer dans le contrat de travail. Car si c'est le lycée français qui vous embauche, normalement, vous n'avez pas de statut expat, il est réservé aux fonctionnaires français détachés par leur administration. A moins que ce soit le cas et que vous soyez déjà un prof détaché osui / aefe aux états-unis.
Non en effet ce n est pas un statut d'expat. Mais aux US, dans mon bahut ca marche pareil. L'ecole paye la CFE - MGEN pour la sante et en tant que detache, elle paye aussi la retraite. Ca marche pareil apparemment.

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, 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
