Bonjour a tous!
j'aurais aimé avoir quelque renseignement sur la suisse.je voudrais habiter a lausanne et travailler en suisse.je voudrais savoir comment cela se passe en suisse a propos du permis de travail, comment fait on pour l'obtenir...ect.
Si on travaille en suisse et habite en france comment fonctionne la securite sociale, les aides et tout ce qui va avec.
merci d'avance
Bonjour,
Je ne suis pas super au courant mais je vais essayer de vous répondre partiellement.
En ce qui concerne le permis de travail, je pense que c'est l'employeur qui doit le demander et le fournir, donc ben il faut trouver un boulot et après voilà.
Pour la sécurité sociale, je crois que vous pouvez conserver votre assurance en France. Par contre, comme le disaient d'autres personnes dans des discussions antérieures, il y a en effet des avantages économiques à être frontalier, mais vous passez et perdez pas mal de temps dans les transports pour venir travailler, en plus des frais qui vont avec.
Je vous conseille de rechercher dans les anciennes discussions, je me souviens que ces questions avaient déjà été abordées.
Si vous avez d'autres questions, n'hésitez pas ! 🙂

Au niveau des permis frontaliers voilà ce qu'il faut savoir :
Tout d'abord tu dois trouver un emploi, et ensuite c'est TOI qui devra faire les démarches auprès du canton de Vaud pour Lausanne pour obtenir un permis frontalier. Ces permis étant soumis à un quota, il n'est pas sûr à 100% que tu puisses en obtenir. Les frais de permis sont à ta charge.
Tu devras fournir aux autorités suisses, une attestation de résidence dans une commune frontalière en France avec minimum 6 mois de résidence dans la même localité. Tu devras te renseigner si ta commune de résidence est bien en zone frontalière. Tu devras également fournir une copie de ton contrat de travail.
Ensuite si tu es frontalier, tu es censé rentrer chaque soir en France.
Concernant la sécurité sociale, sauf erreur de ma part, tu devras conclure une mutuelle spéciale en France.
Pour venir t'établir en Suisse, tu devras d'abord trouver un logement et tout de suite après, aller t'inscrire à la commune. Ils te délivreront alors un permis d'établissement, je pense permis B, mais c'est selon les quotas... Ensuite avec ce permis, tu pourras chercher du travail. Tu devras t'assurer en Suisse, payer des impôts en Suisse etc...
Bonne journée...

En ce qui concerne le permis Frontalier(G), c'est à l'employeur de faire les démarches.Il doit fournir au service de la population à Lausanne: Copie du contrat de travail.Une attestation de résidence en france.Un passeport ou carte d'identité.1 photo65CHF
Si le contrat de travail est inférieur à 3 mois le travailleur Français n'a pas besoin de permis de travail. Pour ce qui est de l'obligation de rentrer en France tout les jour, non c'est faux, l'obligation est de rentrer une fois par semaine dans le pays de résidence.

Anba latè pa ni plézi !
Oui effectivement, il faut rentrer une fois par semaine ... Prise d'une résidence secondaire en Suisse Les personnes étrangères titulaires d'une autorisation frontalière peuvent prendre une résidence secondaire en Suisse, avec l'obligation d'effectuer un retour hebdomadaire au domicile principal à l'étranger. Par contre, je suis désolée de te contredire, mais ce n'est pas à l'employeur d'aller faire les démarches...
Autorisation frontalière - Permis G CE/AELE
A compter du 1er juin 2004, les contrôles préventifs des conditions de salaire, de travail et de la priorité des travailleurs indigènes ont été supprimés.
Si vous résidez dans une des zones frontalières externes avec la Suisse, vous pouvez obtenir un permis G CE/AELE pour exercer une activité dans les zones frontalières internes de la Suisse, sur présentation d'une déclaration d'engagement d'un employeur indiquant la durée de l'engagement et le taux d'activité.
La demande doit être adressée directement au Service de la population. Documents à fournir Formulaire de demande d'un titre de séjour CE/AELE avec activité (format dot, nouvelle fenêtre). L'utilisation de ce formulaire permet un traitement rapide des demandes dans la mesure où il contient toutes les données nécessaires au traitement de la demande. Il n'y a pas besoin de joindre le contrat de travail. Une photographie au format passeport. Copie du passeport ou de la carte d'identité valable. Attestation de domicile à l’étranger ou attestation fiscale étrangère. En cas d'activité indépendante, documents indiqués sur le formulaire attestant de la mise en place de l'activité. Durée de validité de l'autorisation L'autorisation frontalière (permis G CE/AELE) est délivrée pour une durée correspondant à celle de l'activité si cette dernière est de plus de 3 mois mais inférieure à 1 an, ou pour une durée de 5 ans si l'activité est d'une durée supérieure à 1 an ou indéterminée. S'agissant de la création d'une activité indépendante, une première autorisation d'une durée de 6 mois est délivrée dans un premier temps pour permettre le lancement de l'activité.

Délivrance de l'autorisation L'autorisation frontalière est délivrée par l'intermédiaire du bureau des étrangers de la commune du lieu de l'activité. Mobilité géographique et professionnelle à l'intérieur de la zone frontalière L'autorisation frontalière CE/AELE est valable et permet d'exercer une activité dans toute la zone frontalière interne de la Suisse. Elle n'est donc pas limitée à la zone frontalière du canton de Vaud. Les changements d'employeur ou d'activité ne sont pas soumis à autorisation tant que l'autorisation frontalière reste valable et pour autant que l'activité reste limitée à la zone frontalière. Cependant, les changements d'employeur ou d'activité doivent être annoncés auprès du bureau des étrangers afin que l'adresse du lieu d'activité figurant sur l'autorisation frontalière soit modifiée en conséquence.Séjour en Suisse pour recherches d'emploi Autorisation de courte durée - Permis L CE/AELE Si vous avez la nationalité de l'un des pays concernés par l'accord sur la libre circulation des personnes (ALCP), vous avez le droit de venir en Suisse pour y effectuer des recherches d'emploi durant une période de six mois. Si votre séjour pour recherches d'emploi ne dépasse pas 3 mois Il n'y a pas besoin d'autorisation ni de vous annoncer auprès du bureau des étrangers de votre commune de résidence. Si votre séjour pour recherches d'emploi se prolonge au-delà de 3 mois Une annonce d'arrivée doit être effectuée auprès du bureau des étrangers de votre commune de résidence. Il faut pouvoir faire preuve de moyens financiers suffisants pour la durée du séjour en Suisse en produisant par exemple une attestation bancaire chiffrée, un relevé de compte bancaire, un décompte d'indemnités de chômage, etc. Durée de validité de l'autorisation L'autorisation de courte durée pour recherches d'emploi est valable 6 mois à compter rétroactivement depuis la date d'entrée en Suisse. Elle est délivrée par l'intermédiaire du bureau des étrangers de la commune de résidence. Demande de prolongation Sur demande à l'échéance, le Service de la population peut prolonger l'autorisation de courte durée jusqu'à une année au maximum. Il faut pouvoir faire preuve de moyens financiers suffisants pour toute la durée de la prolongation du séjour en Suisse. Les efforts fournis pour trouver une activité lucrative doivent pouvoir être démontrés en produisant tout document attestant des recherches d'emploi effectuées. Demande d'autorisation pour recherches d'emploi au terme d'une activité de courte durée en Suisse Au terme d'une activité de courte durée en Suisse au bénéfice d'un permis L CE/AELE, le séjour peut être poursuivi durant 6 mois pour y rechercher un emploi. La demande doit être déposée auprès de la commune de résidence. Mobilité géographique L'autorisation de courte durée pour recherches d'emploi est valable sur tout le territoire suisse. Changements d'adresse En cas de changement de domicile au sein d'une même commune ou de changement de commune de résidence, il convient d'en faire l'annonce auprès du bureau des étrangers des communes concernées.

Re bonjour,
il est important aussi d'informer qu'il n'est plus nécessaire d'habiter une zone frontalière depuis au moins 6 mois pour pouvoir pouvoir décrocher un permis G.
Seul l'employeur ou son mandataire sont habilités à demander un permis de travail pour un employé étranger, jamais je n'ai eu à faire la demande moi même. Par contre, si il s'agit d'une profession en indépendant, là c'est au demandeur de faire la démarche.

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! 🥺🏻

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[;)!!!]

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!^^
