Bonjour a tous !
je pars a Bali début septembre, j'ai l'opportunité de bosser la bas pour quelques mois mais tt ca se fera sur place. J'aimerais savoir si quelqu'un a deja été dans cette situation et lorsqu'on travaille a Bali, le visa se change une fois sur place par l'intermediaire de son employeur ? j'imagine que pour travailler on ne peut pas rester avec un visa toursite.du coup je me demande avec quoi partir, le visa de 2 mois que je dois faire ici a Marseille ( qui est renouvelable je crois ? ) ou celui que l'on a l'aeroport d'un mois seulmement.
Merci =)
Merci =)
hello
le visa de 2 mois n'est pas renouvelable et je te deconseille de travailler avec ce visa le visa d'un mois qu'on obtient a l'aeroport est aussi un visa de touriste et n'est pas renouvelable 40$ par jour de depassement
si tu te fait gauler l'indonesie te le fera payer...
contact ton futur employeur et demande lui comment il compte faire...
le visa pour travailler s'obtient a une embassade d'indonesie en dehors de l'indonesie et il doit etre demander par ton employeur( qui est ton sponsor) et coute 1000$ pour le demander et 100$ par mois pour la suite et est valide pour 5 ans
bon voyage

VISAS : SOSIAL BUDAYA, KITAS, KITAP, BUSINESS…
Le décret présidentiel indonésien du 31 mars 2003, entré en vigueur le 1er février 2004, a étendu l’obligation d’obtention d’un visa à un grand nombre de ressortissants étrangers dont les Français. A défaut donc de bénéficier d’un accord de réciprocité comme c’est le cas notamment pour Singapour, la Thaïlande ou le Vietnam, l’entrée sur le territoire indonésien, qu’elle soit à des fins touristiques, d’affaires ou pour une longue durée est subordonnée à la délivrance d’un visa. S’il s’agit d’un séjour touristique, le visa délivré à l’arrivée ne pourra pas excéder 30 jours (à compter du jour d’arrivée). Il n’est pas reconductible sur place. Son coût est de 20 euros. Si le séjour doit excéder 30 jours, le visa doit obligatoirement être obtenu avant l’arrivée en Indonésie. S’il s’agit d’un séjour d’affaires, le visa « business » est accordé pour 6 mois, c’est-à-dire : - D’abord pour 60 jours. - Ensuite par période de 30 jours renouvelable 4 fois. Moyennant les justificatifs suivants : - Une lettre d’invitation d’un « sponsor » indonésien, c’est-à-dire d’un chef d’entreprise local. - Une lettre de mission d’affaires émanant d’une entreprise ou d’un commerçant du pays d’origine. - Des formulaires dûment remplis. Son coût : 40 euros depuis la France. Il faut donc, avant l’expiration des 60 jours, présenter le passeport aux services de l’immigration dont dépend votre adresse de résidence afin d’obtenir une extension. En pratique, il convient de remplir un dossier (à retirer à la caisse contre 11 000 Rp) dans lequel seront indiqués l’identité du demandeur, son adresse, sa situation familiale. Y ajouter une lettre du sponsor indonésien accompagnée des justificatifs d’identité et de raison sociale. Le passeport muni du nouveau « visa business » pour 30 jours est restitué quelques jours après. Coût officiel de l’extension : 250 000 Rp. Les 3ème et 4ème extensions sont un peu plus longues et lourdes en formalités puisqu’il faut joindre au dossier une autorisation émanant du département local du ministère de la Justice et des Droits de l’Homme. Coût officiel : 300 000 Rp. Il existe deux modalités de visas « business » : Le SIMPLE : il implique pendant toute sa durée de rester sur le territoire indonésien sous peine d’en perdre le bénéfice. Le « MULTIPLES ENTREES » : il permet à son titulaire de voyager hors du territoire. Un tel visa suppose de requérir au préalable une autorisation des services de l’immigration de Jakarta. La législation a changé récemment et impose désormais à son titulaire de quitter effectivement le territoire avant l’expiration des 60 jours, puis tous les mois. Son coût est de 100 euros. Si le titulaire du visa « business » est accompagné de sa famille, le conjoint ou concubin non commerçant et les enfants obtiennent un visa dit de « suivi de famille » qui s’apparente au visa « sosial budaya », délivré dans les mêmes conditions et modalités. Le VKSB, communément appelé « sosial budaya » est quant à lui délivré pour des séjours à des fins sociales et culturelles. Il ne permet pas d’exercer une activité professionnelle. Il est valable lui aussi pour 6 mois dans les mêmes conditions et modalités, cependant le sponsor dans ce cas est un établissement scolaire, une université ou toute autre personne implantée en Indonésie. S’il s’agit d’une installation professionnelle de longue durée, deux types de visas sont proposés : le KITAS puis le KITAP. Le premier permet d’acquérir une carte de séjour (kartu ijin) provisoire (terbatas). Il faut être employé par une personne physique ou morale indonésienne et obtenir l’autorisation préalable de l’immigration de Jakarta. Il est valable UN an et reconductible 4 fois moyennant le paiement annuel d’un impôt fixé actuellement à 1200 dollars et des frais de dossiers. Le second dit KITAP peut être sollicité une fois que le KITAS est expiré. Il permet l’obtention d’une carte de séjour permanent, c’est-à-dire pour 5 ans reconductibles. Le titulaire de ces visas devra acquitter une taxe de 1 000 000 Rp (fiskal) s’il sort du territoire. Un KITAS peut également être attribué aux époux de ressortissants indonésiens dans les mêmes conditions que celles citées plus haut. Toutefois, ils ne pourront pas exercer d’activité professionnelle, mais ils n’auront pas non plus à payer les 1200 dollars de taxe annuelle. Il existe enfin un visa « pensiun » ou visa de retraite. Il faut être âgé de plus de 55 ans et justifier de ressources suffisantes. Les demandes de visas se font auprès des ambassades ou consulats indonésiens. L’arrivée en Indonésie doit se faire dans les 90 jours qui suivent la délivrance du visa. A défaut, ce dernier est caduc. Aucun visa n’est reconductible sur place. Toutes les formalités d’obtention de visas peuvent être accomplies par vous-même, votre sponsor ou un agent, dans ce dernier cas moyennant bien entendu des honoraires (plus ou moins 500 000 Rp par exemple pour un visa business). A noter enfin que tout dépassement de date de visa est sujet à une amende actuellement de 20 dollars par jour de retard.

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?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

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?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
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,
Has anyone gone on a language study trip in Europe? If so, which agencies did you use? What can you tell me about it? Thanks a lot! Kelkune

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!^^
