Bonjour, j ai 22 ans et je travaillais dans une agence immobilière et il y a 1 moi, j ai donné ma démission afin de partir en floride (Miami) pour apprendre l'Anglais et me trouver un pti job pour justement me familiariser à l'anglais. Ma copine est du voyage, elle met entre parenthèse ses études pour partir à l aventure avec moi ! je voudrai rester au moins 1 ans , je ne sais pas quelles démarches faire, quel visa demandé, ou partir sans visa et au bout de 90 jours partir quelques jour au Mexique ou aux Bahamas et revenir pour encore 3 mois. c est un casse tête aidez moi s'il vous plait!
Pour finir , mon but est de faire de l immobilier à miami mais ne maitrisant pas bien l' Anglais, il me faut travailler et apprendre sur place, comment faire ???

tu ne peux pas travailler aux US sans visa de travail;
pour travailler dans l'immobilier aux US, il faut un diplome de l'etat ou tu veux excercer (ou une equivalence);
tu ne peux pas aller dans un pays proche des US pour faire 'renouveller' tes 90 jours...

qqs jours en France...oui mais il vaut mieux y passer plusieurs jours !
apres ca sera a l'officier d'immigration de te laisser entrer aux US ou pas...il peut trouver 'suspect' que tu reviennes aussi vite aux US apres y avoir deja passe 90jours.

Salut,
je voudrai rester au moins 1 ans , je ne sais pas quelles démarches faire, quel visa demandé, ou partir sans visa et au bout de 90 jours partir quelques jour au Mexique ou aux Bahamas et revenir pour encore 3 mois. c est un casse tête aidez moi s'il vous plait!
1 d'abord le taux de chômage demeure encore élevé aux USA et la reprise économique se fait attendre. La seule fois où je suis allé à Miami il y a quelques années c'était facile de trouver un petit job ; j'ai croisé des tas de Français qui bossaient ainsi mais maintenant c'est totalement différent.
2 comme l'écrit BenNYC il te faut un visa de travail évidemment. Ensuite tu devras remplir un formulaire ESTA et je présume que dans ce formulaire on te demande si tu as l'intention de bosser aux USA.

C) Are you seeking to work in the U.S.; or have you ever been excluded and deported; or been previously removed from the United States; or procured or attempted to procure a visa or entry into the U.S. by fraud or misrepresentation?
Individuals entering the United States under the Visa Waiver Program are admitted as non-immigrant alien visitors and may not seek employment in the United States. While Visa Waiver Program travelers may not seek employment in the United States, there are many classifications of non-immigrant and immigrant employment-sponsored visas for those who qualify. For further information refer to § 212(a)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(5). For further information on non-immigrant and immigrant employment visas, refer to www.travel.state.gov.
L'officier d'immigration à Miami risque de te poser des questions et de te refouler.
Bref je crois que tu vas tout droit à la cata...

1° As-tu été admis dans un établissement qui donne des cours d'anglais ou dans la branche "ESL" d'une université?
2° Si oui, as-tu demandé ton visa?
Si les réponses à ces questions sont "non", voilà ta priorité.
Si ton but est d'y aller en touriste, n'oublie pas que tu dois justifier d'une belle somme disponible sur ton compte en banque (photocopie du compte en banque avec la somme dessus), que tu ne peux pas travailler, et que tu ne peux pas suivre de cours d'anglais plus de 3h/jour sans visa. De plus tu devras expliquer à l'officer des douanes que tu ne veux ni travailler ni étudier, juste faire du tourisme... mais passer 3 mois à Miami juste pour faire du tourisme... il risque de te prendre pour un traffiquant (3 mois de plage/drague/boites, ça parait quand même suspect, sauf si tu as un compte en banque ultra rempli et que tu es fils de famille très aisée qui peut se permettre de faire cela, étant financé par sa famille.)
Si ton vrai souhait est de travailler là-bas, tu dois tout faire dans les règles car les Américains sont réglo: pas de souci si tu es dans les règles, mais sinon tu seras refoulé sans pitié, à tes frais.
Pour travailler dans l'immobilier aux US, tu dois donc 1° Etre admis en école de langues avec un visa F1 2° acquérir un niveau d'anglais courant, compte 6 mois à un an OU, si ton anglais est correct (16 au bac ou 14+ au BTS) être admis dans un community college et payer les frais d'études 3° une fois le niveau d'anglais atteint, passer le TOEFL et étudier au community college (d'où frais d'études) (ou dans une université, et payer les frais d'études) 4° obtenir le diplôme avec une moyenne correcte puis la certification de l'Etat 5° obtenir un OPT de 12 mois sur ton visa F1 afin de travailler dans une agence et c'est seulement à ce moment-là, si tu es leur meilleur stagiaire, qu'ils pourront envisager de t'embaucher. Vu le taux de chômage et le nombre de candidats, tu as intérêt à être excellent, et trilingue (anglais, espagnol, franàais. Oui, à Miami, ne pas parler espagnol quand on espère trouver du travail, et notamment dans l'immobilier... c'est impossible. Et j'ai bien dit trilingue, cad être aussi à l'aise en anglais qu'en espagnol et en français.) C'est un projet qui requiert de l'argent, de la motivation et de la persévérance, et qui s'étend sur 5 ans environ.
Sinon, tu peux toujours partir en septembre suivre quelques heures de cours d'anglais, passer le TOEIC, faire du toursime, et revenir en France en ayant fait des progrès.

Salut merci pour ta réponse structuré, je voulais savoir si c est plus judicieux de demander le visa touristique ( 6 mois) et le faire prolonger de 6 mois supplémentaire ou de pas prendre de visa et tous les 90 jours, je pars en voiture avec ma copine à la frontière mexicaine ou canadienne, y reste quelques jours puis repasse la frontière avec 3 mois supplémentaires et ainsi de suite tous les 3 mois?
En ce qui concerne l'immobilier c est mon objectif de faire ça la bas mais avec ma copine on voulait trouver un pti boulot là bas afin d apprendre l anglais et de gagner un peu d argent. Le problème c est qu il faut un visa de travail, est ce facile à obtenir ? Avec le visa touriste est ce que j peux convaincre un employeur de m engagé et de faire les démarches ou c est cuit d avance ? si tu peux m aider ca serait cool de ta part 🙂
khbhv
Non tu ne peux pas trouver de petit boulot. Personne ne t'embauchera avec un visa touriste.
Comme j'ai expliqué, si tu demandes un visa touriste tu as intérêt à avoir un compte en banque bien garni et des parents qui te financent parce que les agents des douanes vont se demander qui permet à son fils de passer 6 mois à glander sur la plage à l'âge de 22 ans. Tu risques d'être retenu plusieurs heures à la frontière voire ne pas être admis.
Sans visa tu dois revenir en France pour plusieurs semaines, le temps de repasser par ESTA, mais comme tu seras déjà dans les banques de données ils vont trouver cela bizarre que tu y retournes, surtout si tu leur dis que tu es déjà resté 3 mois en Floride faire du tourisme. (Pour faire du tourisme, une semaine à Miami, disons en comptant large 3 semaines de plus en Floride, mais si tu restes 3 mois tu auras des questions sur ce que tu as vu, fait, etc, car ils vont trouver cela bizarre. 3 mois de tourisme uniquement en Floride...? Tu peux considérer 3 mois pour découvrir le Sud des Etats-Unis...) Encore une fois, tu dois avoir les fonds dans ton compte en banque, photocopie certifiée conforme, comme quoi tu disposes d'assez d'argent pour vivre 3 mois. ça doit être de l'ordre de 6000 euros pour deux, qqch comme cela (ou plus).
DONC
ta seule solution viable est d'être admis en école de langue avec un visa F1.

Sache qu'on ne rigole pas avec l'immigration américaine (la plus strict au monde pour moi et j'en ai passe pas mal! mais la plus efficace!) On ne ment pas avec eux... ils te détectent direct! J'ai un visa étudiant de 5 ans et a chaque fois que je reviens au USA pour l'année scolaire, j'ai droit a la tonne de questions et même a des fouilles (alors que j'ai un visa étudiant! et je suis admise a une très bonne université américaine!). Passer la frontière mexicaine ou canadienne ne devrait même pas être envisageable... il te sera impossible de re-entrer dans le pays... Personne sur le sol américain n'acceptera de te faire travailler avec un visa touriste (ils encourent eux mêmes la prison donc ils ne prendront aucun risques). Je connais un couple d'amis qui est parti pour une entreprise Française (des expatries donc) et la femme n'a jamais pu travailler car impossible sans le visa de travail.
Bon courage!

Bonjour !
Tu fais bien de le souligner, Clémentine, car on lit tellement de naïfs.
Je connais moi aussi bien les US car j'y ai longtemps vécu et je peux dire que passer la douane américaine est plus que stressant, même quand on est nickel. Les employés de l'immigration US sont très malins et donc ils repèrent très vite ceux et celles qui n'ont aucun projet précis mais qui espèrent passer aux US pour y bosser. Du reste, ils veulent preuve que le passager a les moyens financiers pour la durée totale du séjour. Durant mes années passées aux US, j'ai expérimenté la douane américaine à maintes reprises et j'ai assisté à des interrogatoires salés par l'immigration US de gens qui paraissaient "pas clairs".
Quant à passer quelques jours au Canada ou au Mexique pour renouveler un visa américain, il vaut mieux oublier car cela ne marche pas comme ça. Les étrangers seront bloqués au Canada ou au Mexique sans pouvoir revenir aux US.
Il faut accepter la réalité tant qu'elle est car pas d'autre choix ;). Les US sont un pays fermé et pour y entrer, il faut avoir un dossier nickel (à comprendre aussi $$$$$$$$) sinon aucune chance et si on y vit dans l'illégalité et se fait prendre, ça va très mal, c'est case prison et expulsion, les chaînes aux mains et aux pieds. Il faut être cinglé pour prendre de tels risques (peut-être valables pour un Mexicain ou un Haïtien mais pas pour un Européen de l'Ouest).
Bon week-end !

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!

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!^^
