République Dominicaine côté travail
by Cambronne
This discussion is in French, the community’s main language.
Original post
Beaucoup de visiteurs se verraient bien rester en République Dominicaine.
Comme je les comprend, moi qui ai franchit la pas.
Je commence à bien connaitre le pays et je trouve dommage que certains renoncent faute d'avoir eu les bonnes infos ou même faute d'avoir pu organiser leur voyage pour bien préparer leur implantation.
J'aimerais savoir ce qui les bloquent le plus ou quelle est l'information qu'ils ne trouvent pas?
Comme cela on pourra les aider et faire avancer les choses.
a part pour ouvrir un commerce ... tu ne peux pas vivre en travaillant example dans les hotel il sont eux m^^eme sous payer ...dommage travaillant dans l'hotelier j'aurais bien aimer :(

Contrairement à ce que tu penses et à ce que pense d'ailleurs la plupart des étrangers, en République Dominicaine il n'y a pas que le secteur Hotellerie.
C'est un pays de 10 millions d'habitants qui a des besoins dans tous les domaines.
Quelque soit votre spécialité il est possible de faire son nid.
Le premier problème c'est que la plupart des candidats se focalisent sur la clientèle touristique faute de parler suffisament bien l'espagnol pour toucher la clientèle dominicaine.
Si vous faites l'effort de parler un minimum cette langue vous vous ouvrez l'accès à tous la pays.
Il y a beaucoup d'entreprises à vendre dans des secteurs très divers et ce que je constate c'est que le repreneur est souvent un chinois.
Moralité: il parait plus facile d'apprendre l'espagnol quand on parle le mandarin que quand on parle le francais.
PS: les employés ne sont pas sous-payés dans le secteur hotellerie mais dans tous les secteurs ce qui a des effets positifs sur la rentabilité des enreprises.

Le plus simple est de te donner le salaire moyen qui est d'environ 7000 pesos par mois.
Convertit en dollars US (désolé je n'ai pas le taux du dollar canadien) cela donne 184 US $/ mois.
Tu mesures tout de suite l'intérêt de recourir à de la main d'oeuvre locale plutôt qu'à des étrangers.
La bonne solution est donc de créer son entreprise ou d'en reprendre une existante.
C'est ce que font quasiment tous les étrangers sauf ceux qui sont expatriés par des grands groupes internationaux qui d'ailleurs limitent ce genre de postes au strict minimum pour des raisons de rentabilité.
Pour des budget d'investissement de moins de 100.000 US $ on peut s'installer en RD dans de bonnes conditions.
Quand à trouver un travail salarié: oui, à 7000 pesos par mois.
Bonjour à tous, bonjour Cambronne,
ton message initial, ayant lancé la discussion est très positif, et c'est pour ça que je m'adresse peut être plus particulièrement à toi..mais tous les bons tuyaux sont bienvenus !!! Donc, tu as fait le pas, tu es en rep dom et tu en es content... félicitations ! Je regarde tous ces messages de personnes qui rêvent de partir au soleil et qui ne savent comment s'y prendre...alors que moi, on m'offre la rép dom sur un plateau (en quelque sorte), et je suis morte de trouille à l'idée d'aller vivre là bas, disons que ça me paralyse presque :-( Je suis francaise 28ans, mon chéri dominicain, 33 ans. Je suis infirmière et lui finit ses études de chirurgie, ici en France. Voilà, à la fin de son internat, il préfèrerait retourner en rep dom et moi je ne suis pas particulièrement attachée à la France ni à mon métier (enfin, c'est ce que je crois) donc, je lui ai dit "ok, on va en rép dom", j'adore la mer, le soleil (et aussi on s'aime<3). Je prendrai d'abord une disponibilité afin de garder mon poste en France, au cas où...On devait se marier cette année mais je vais repousser au cas ou ca me plaise pas là bas...et que je fasse ma crise... S il veut edevenir francais il n'a pas besoin de moi, ses études de chirurgie lui ayant fait passer d'assez longues années en France... Je n'aurai pas besoin de travailler au début, il me propose d' apprendre correctement la langue, de découvrir le pays et sa culture, et après lorsque je connaitrai mieux le système dominicain, je pourrai envisager le travail ou si je préfère, reprendre des études, selon ce qu'il y a sur place. Mon probleme ? J'ai super peur de la culture dominicaine que je ne connais qu'au travers de mon homme. Je n'ai pas de projet personnel (surtout professionnel) défini...infirmiere en rep dom c'est pas comme en France, à priori ça me branche pas du tout.... Au secours. Je sais que c'est à moi de décider, mais me déconseillerez-vous de partir ? Ou apprendre l'espagnol sur place ? On vivra à Santo domingo au début...n'est ce pas un peu loin des plages de mes rêves ? Finalement, en partant en dispo, n'ayant pas encore d'enfants et n'étant pas mariés...ne peut on pas considérer que je prends un risque très modéré ? Si vous arriviez à me donner un peu d'enthousiasme, je vous en serai très reconnaissante, car actuellement je ne vois que les mauvais cotés de la rep dom (pauvreté, éloignement, difficultées à apprendre la langue et à s'intégrer à la culture...) Voilà...je vous raconte ma vie là, désolée, mais si vous pouvez m'aider à gagner en sérenité, ce serait pas mal !!! merci beaucoup.

bonjour Cambronne
Je prends votre discussion en route!! et ma question est la suivante: quel type d'entreprise tu vends en republique dominicaine?

Bonjour à tous,
Tout d'abord on va commencer par les bons cotés de la RD.
C'est vraiment un pays superbe avec une grande diversité de paysages.
Dommage que la plupart des gens qui la visitent se cantonnent à l'est ( Punta Cana) et eventuellement à la péninsule de Samana ( Las Terrenas).
Le reste du pays est malheureusement méconnu.
Les dominicains aussi sont méconnus car hormis les employés d'hotels ou d'excursions, les touristes (barrière de la langue) ne peuvent pas vraiment partager avec eux.
Pourtant ils le méritent car ils sont souvent serviables, toujours polis: les problèmes sont rares.
Les mauvais cotés sont ceux d'un pays qui en réalité quoiqu'il y paraissent est un pays pauvre.
Quand on sort du clinquant des all-inclusives on découvre qu'il y 2 pays: celui qui vit à l'heure américaine et celui qui vit à l'heure du tiers monde.
Selon les endroits vous verrez plus de tout-terrains et de Blackberry que dans n'importe quelle ville d'Europe ou vous serez avec des gens qui ne feront qu'un repas par jour avec des enfants qui doivent travailler.
Il faut venir en sachant cela car on peut prendre ses dispositions.
La première c'est d'apprendre l'espagnol.
La seconde c'est de bien choisir son point de chute.
La troisième c'est de savoir ce qu'on vient y faire.
Sinon on risque de rater son expatriation et de repartir aigris.
A titre personnel j'ai choisit de vivre dans la capitale parce qu'elle cumule un certain nombre d'avantages: toutes les commoditées d'une ville de 3 millions d'habitants, des plages pas si loin que cela et un lycée francais avec une scolarité reconnue par l'Education Nationale.
Mais ceci cadre avec mes besoins et avec des besoins différents on peut tout aussi bien vivre à Las Terrenas à Cabarete à Punta Cana ou ailleurs.
A titre professionnel je m'occupe de vente d'entreprises et de commerce sur tout le pays.
Ce qui interesse surtout les repreneurs, ce sont les entreprises liées au secteur touristique: hôtels restaurants loisirs excursions.
Cest evidemment le coeur de mon portefeuille mais il ne faut pas oublier que la RD est un pays de 10 millions d'habitants avec un partie de sa population qui a un vrai pouvoir d'achat.
En conséquence il existe des opportunités dans tous les domaines en particulier pour des personnes qui ont une maitrise de leur métier et un vrai savoir-faire.
Tout dépend donc du savoir-faire de la personne: si elle connait bien un métier, elle peut envisager de l'exercer ici.
Si ce n'est pas le cas (ou qu'elle veuille se reconvertir) :il vaut mieux qu'elle reprenne une affaire qui tourne déja.
Cela dépend aussi de son budget mais disons qu'a partir de 50.000 US $ on peut avoir une opportunité.
Cela déprend aussi du secteur: Punta Cana sera plus cher que Santo Domingo qui est plus cher que Cabarete.
Tout est au cas par cas et l'expérience de l'un ne fera pas la réussite de l'autre.
Chaque personne est un cas particulier, chaque besoin est un besoin unique.
Comme on dit en espagnol "su orden" ce qui veut dire "à votre service".
Bonjour,

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 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.

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?
Thanks in advance!

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[;)!!!]
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🤪!

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

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!^^
