Bonjour
Un menuisier marocain confirmé (et ce n'est pas des mauvais artisan) touche (normalement) au début, le smig marocain, soit l'équivalent de 190 euros par moi, pour un minimum de 60 heures par semaines.
Il y a beaucoup de choses à faire au Maroc pour un Européen mais je crois que tu as intérêt à envisager de te reconvertir dans autre chose si tu veux t'y installer.
Dans toutes les catégories, attends-toi à toucher comme salaire, le quart de celui de France... quant aux 35 heures, cela n'existe pas au Maroc. La seule façon de t'en sortir c'est d'essayer de monter ta propre affaire, plutôt dans un domaine touristique.
Pour les formalités, cherche sur google, les sites de renseignements pour les Français expatriés, tu auras les réponses (fiables) de base...
Bon courage !
DPM
Tu compte ouvrir un local où pratiquer la menuiserie?
hum... peut etre, mais ceci marche surtt dans les quartiers populaires, puiske c tjr à bas prix(les objets vendus).
si tu compte venir chercher du travail en tant que menuisier, c dificile...surtt pour un étranger.
amicalement

Bonjour
Comme te le dit Mohamed00000, tu vas galérer, même si tu veux te mettre à ton compte, car la façon de travailler et d'aborder la clientèle n'a rien à voir avec ce qui se passe chez nous.
En fait c'est une multitude de petits menuisiers de quartiers qui font le boulot, comme le faisaient les menuisiers chez nous, il y a quelques dizaines d'années ( et qui n'existent plus malheureusement )
De plus, il te faut parler la langue, car ce n'est pas certain, selon où tu t'installes, que tes éventuels clients parlent français Et te faire une clientèle ne sera pas facile . il faut saisir la mentalité, ce qui n'est pas toujours évident pour un européen
Quand aux prix, il n'y a rien à voir entre les prix pratiqués pôur la clientèle des touristes, et les prix demandés par les locaux (toujours moins chers, donc marge parfois très réduite)
Ou alors tu as une autre idée en tête, comme faire réaliser le travail en bas, et exporter en France ???? mais c'est une autre histoire, là, et d'autres problèmes ....
Mais bonne chance tout de même pour mener à bien ton projet
je vous remerci de vos conseil alors vous penser ke en me mettant a mon compte je peut m'en sortir plus facilement pour les formalité je file tout de suite sur google😉

alors pour repondre a ta question je pense plutot a la menuiserie en deuxieme solution car mon premier projet et de créé une maison d'hotes desolé de ne pas l'avoir soumis avant et pour la barierre de la langue pas de probleme ma futur femme nous allons nous marier en 2007parle arabe corectement car elle est marocaine vous savez nous somme un jeune couple plein d'embition et nous comptons bien y arriver

Bonjour,
Ben voila, tu peux ouvrir une maison d'hote, mais je te conseille les villes de Marrakech ou Fes, (ou leurs régions) comme endroits pour investir.
Ta femme est marocaine, elle connait bien le pays, mais tu aura besoin quand meme de ton savoir faire, en matiere de tourisme afin de rentabiliser ton projet.
Euh: la menuiserie, comme notre ami te l'a dit, tu peux produite au Maroc, et vendre en Europe, ça peut marcher vu ke la main doeuvre à bon prix est disponnible.
Bonne chance & bienvenu au Maroc.
Mohamed
enfaite je pense vivre un ou deux ans au maroc avant d'investir histoire de me renseigner niveau avocat et tout ce ki va avec c'est pour ca ke je cherche a travailler dans une boite marocaine pour voir comment ca ce passe et investir apres car la france et le maroc ne sont pas pareil
cccpf du 31
Petit cachotier !!!! bon, je plaisante....😉
Les maisons d'hôtes sont à la mode au Maroc
Il te faudra cependant bien choisir ton endroit .
Mais cela te sera peut-être facilité par la famille de ta future promise, au moins pour l'emplacement .
Si c'est au bled, vérifies bien tout de même le taux de fréquentation de la région par une éventuelle clientèle.
Mais selon l'emplacement, ça peut être aussi bien qu'en ville, car une certaine clientèle nomade recherche ces maisons d'hôtes
Des normes sont à respecter à l'heure actuelle pour la création d'une maison d'hôte, renseignes-toi bien sur place avant toute chose
En tout cas, je suis heureux de voir que des jeunes de ton âge se prennent en main, et essaient de s'assumer pleinement
Bonne chance dans ton projet
Comme dans beaucoup de pays pour travailler, il fut etre résident, et pour etre résident, il faut soit travailler, soit etre retraité, soit etre propriétaire d'un bien immobilier, plus les conditions de revenus et de montant à virer sur un compte local.
Et pour travailler, il faut etre embauché, pour cela il faut que ton futur employeur prouve qu'il n'a pas réussi à trouver un marocain pour pourvoir à l'emploi, et qu'il accepte de te rémunérer selon tes désirs, sinon tu n'iras pas loin avec 1500 dh par mois, sans secu, sans écoles, sans grand chose.
Il n'y a qu'avec quelques semaines ou mois sur place que tu pourras comprendre les rouages, savoir si tu réussiras à etre salarié convenablement, créer ta propre affaire, t'associer dans quelque chose qui existe, etc .... tout ca sans rien faire en France, tu continueras à y etre domicilié et à payer tes impots.
Et comme tout se passe avec les autorités marocaines, il te faudra apprendre à les pratiquer!
C'est ensuite quand tu auras ta carte de résident, que tu iras voir nos "chères" autorités consulaires pour devenir un 'francais de l'étranger' et larguer tes attaches administratives en France, si tu le souhaites.
je te remerci bien mon ami tu me sauve la vie je ne savait pas trop comment m'y prendre pour les autorités mon futur beau papa est journaliste au maroc il a pas mal de relation il pourra m'aider j'ai de la chance il accepte que je lui enleve sa fille alors il accepte je pense pour me filé un p'tit coup de pousse enfin j'espere parce qu'il a eu du mal quand meme a accepter que sa fille ce marie avec un francais mais bon j'ai fait pas mal de concetion mais bojn on est pas dans le bon forum pour en parlé

La barrière de la langue existe toujours, car, surtout dans les quartiers populaires, il y a des tas de choses qu'un homme préfère discuter avec un homme au Maroc.. donc maison d'hôte ou menuiserie tu aas intérêt à t'y mettre rapidement.
Côté formalité c'est assez simple en France, tu informes que tu t'en vas et tu payes tous les impôts que tu dois avant de partir (c'est à dire si tu pars maintenant les impôts qui seront mensualisés à partir d'octobre sur tes revenus de janvier 2006 à maintenant) c'est donc une année où tu payes double imposition. Une fois arrivé au Maroc, tu te déclares au consulat, ça vaut mieux, ça te permet de recevoir des informations, de récupérer en vitesse ta carte d'identité si tu te la fais voler, et de pouvoir continuer à voter. Mais ce n'est pas une obligation. Côté Marocain, tu demandes une carte de résident....
Après pour ton projet, quelques questions quand même : est ce que ta femme a vécu au Maroc, et travaillé là bas, où est ce que c'est ce qu'on appelle une "MRE" marocaine de l'étranger, qui a envie de retourner au pays ? Car dans le second cas, attention... les jeunes qui retournent au pays sont le plus souvent assez déstabilisés car la vie là bas n'est pas comparable à celle qu'ils ont conue, ils n'ont pas les bons réflexes, et les marocains les considèrent comme des étrangers.. j'en connais plusieurs qui ont fait l'amère expérience. Deuxième question, où est ce que vous comptez vous installer, est ce que vous avez par exemple l'argent pour tenir plusieurs mois avant d'avoir les autorisations d'exploiter, pour tenir le temps que votre affaire se fasse connaître et se remplisse ? Est ce que tu as une idée des prix qui se pratiquent pour acheter ce dont tu as besoin, et ne pas te faire avoir ? Est ce que tu as une expérience dans le domaine, est ce que tu sais comment on gère cela, comment on calcule un prix de revient, etc ? ...
En tout cas, à vous deux bon courage et bonne chance

Hi everyone,
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...

Hi there,
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!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
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?

Hi everyone,
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!

Hi everyone,
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.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

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.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
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 everyone!
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?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
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! 🥺🏻
Thanks so much for your help and advice! ☺️

Hi everyone,
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?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
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?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

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.

Hi,
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[;)!!!]

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
