niveau securiter dans cet capitale ?
deplus si quelqu un a un site internet poour les collocs.. on ma donner celui si http://sosed.zhivem.ru/ paye ta galere !
en se qu il en es des salaires , on ma dis que la vie y est tres chere , certe je pars avec pas mal d économis mais je suis curieux de savoir combien gagne ton en moyenne!
dernierement escusement pour les fautes d ortographe !!! les dicter et les rédaction sont pas mon fort :) cordialement
très franchement, avec un visa touristique de trois mois, connaissant toute la montagne de formalités qu'il faut remplir là-bas pour régulariser sa situation, je doute que tu trouveras un employeur qui acceptera de t'embaucher, surtout si tu ne parles pas le russe...
Un pòble non pòu viure, escurcit encadenat, en lo pantais d'un autre... (Lo Mago d'en Casteu).
Pour ce faire, il te faut trouver employeur prouvant aux autorités russes qu'il ne peut recruter sur place. Si tu as expérience valable dans la restauration, tu pourras intéresser restaurants français. Dans ce cas, fais en sorte d'avoir logement fourni par employeur car là-bas les loyers sont très chers (les Russes vivent à plusieurs générations en général dans "hlm" et les expatriés (très riches) ont locations de plusieurs milliers d'euros mais pour les autres, c'est la galère. Au niveau de la sécurité, Moscou n'est pas bien brillante. De plus, si tu ne parles pas un mot de russe, ça va être très dur car les Russes ne sont pas facilement liants avec les étrangers.
Comme dit, il te faut trouver employeur AVANT DE PARTIR car impossible de bosser ou de changer sa situation sur place avec un seul visa de tourisme. Là bas, ils ne badinent pas et les prisons loin du Club Med.
PS. Saint-Petersbourg est une ville un peu sympa mais Moscou n'a rien d'attrayant.
PPS. A mon avis aussi, essaie de t'y rendre pour des vacances pour voir un peu avant de chercher du boulot dans un endroit que tu ne connais pas car c'est risqué (aussi là-bas, climat et mentalité pas évidents ;))
PS. aussi, sache que si tu étais embauché en contrat russe (donc local), tu aurais conditions russes (et donc pas "trop géniales" 🏴☠️ sans bien sûr la sécu française (la CFE est très chère et pas accessible quand salaire local dans pays pauvres) ni la retraite française.
La Russie, c'est valable pour un étranger qui va brasser des fortunes mais pour le commun des mortels, c'est plus que la galère.
Si tu veux vraiment partir, vise un contrat d'expat sinon pas la peine.
pour le logement c ok je vien d aprendre q mon ex copine russe ma trouver quelqune chose de bien sympa certe les loyer son cher mais en collocation sa le fait ( casiment pareil que londres)
j ai appeler russianconcept qui sont dans les visa (tres profesionel c la deuxieme fois que je prend le visa avec eux c rapide!)ainsi qu un grand restaurant francais a moscow et m on bien confirmer que c l employeur qui fait les demarche pour transformer en visa de travail
ils faut juste un visa 3 mois avec double sortit
je ne part pas dutout en russie pour brasser des millions ou de cotiser pour ma retraite !
je suis deja aller en russie en vacance je veu juste y vivre quelque temp !ensuite certe il y pa mal de con mai c comme de partout .... j ai pu simpatiser avec certain et c cosmopolite , parlans anglais espagnol, italien et francais je pensse que quant meme j p me debrouiller pour le debut !
apres sa va etre mon 12 em pays pour travailler , dont 8 dont je ne parlais pa la langue mais avec un tres bon anglais dans de bon restaurant sa le fait !
en tout cas merci

Bonjour Geoffroy,
Je consulte voyage forum et tes messages sur la Russie m'intéressent. Je suis de nationalité camerounaise à Yaoundé, j'ai obtenu mon diplôme de cuisinier en juillet 2011 à Casablanca au Maroc. Depuis je fais de petits boulots dans les restaurants de Yaoundé. Je voudrai surtout maintenant partir à l'étranger et en particulier en Russie. J'aimerai me perfectionner en cuisine particulièrement auprès de restaurateurs français qui sont installés à Moscou.
Je suis près à prendre un emploi d'aide cuisinier et surtout très motivé pour aller travailler dans un pays comme la Russie.
Mais les visas sont très difficiles à obtenir je crois, sauf si l'on peut se faire parrainer par un employeur qui peut avoir de bonnes relations.
Je parle bien le français et un peu anglais.
Si cela ne vous gène pas trop, connaissez vous un patron restaurateur qui serait prêt à recruter un garçon comme moi. je suis disponible immédiatement, je peux m'adapter facilement et travailler dur.
J'ai 21 ans.
Vous pouvez me répondre en message privé. Je vous donnerai tous les renseignements que vous voulez.
D'avance merci et à bientôt.
bonjour regis : élas j suis désolé mais les restaurateurs font vennir des personnes avec de bon bagage professionel sinon il prenne directement des aide cuisinier russe bien plus facile niveau papier et qui parle la langue ! deplus sache que si tu viens travailler comme aide cuisine tu va vraiment a peine survivre ! les salaires sont tres tres bas et la vie enormement chere si tu n as pas un bon statu au saint du restaurant! pour te donner une idée nous avons 50 cuisiniers dans la brigade ou je suis ! les commis travaille dur et gagne tout juste 500 euro sachans que moscou est l une ville les plus chere au monde ! je te conseillerais plutot un autre pays ! deplus il y a vraiment pas mal de racisme en russie et c pas les plus doux niveau aproche les russes apart les filles mais c autre chose )))))!
par contre pour se qui ont déja une bonne experience avec un bon anglais certaine agence recrute ! l employeur s occupera de faire le visa, généralement paye le billet avion ainsi que le visa
pour donner une idée j ai un jour et demi de repo j suis executif sous chef dans un 5 etoiles , le restaurateur me paye le logement d environ 2000dolars par moi dan la city et rémunere 3000 euro net plus nourriture ! le chef est a environ 6000 avec logement aussi!
il font vennir de plus en plus d etranger AVEC exeperience vu qu il n y a pas d ecole de formation pour la cuisnie donc il recrute a l etranger!
entout cas bon courage !

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...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
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!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has already had the experience of working abroad?
I don’t have a specific country in mind yet, so I’m open to hearing about your experiences on this topic—the pros and cons, etc.
Hi there!
I’m a young Malian looking to work in Morocco. Besides a passport, what other documents are required at the **Moroccan** border?
Thanks for your help!
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.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
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?
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!
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.?
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.
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 there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia. I’m in electrotechnical maintenance—air conditioning, cold rooms, 220V/380V electricity. I’ve been a tradesperson for 3 months and can bring my full professional toolkit. If anyone’s interested, let me know!
You can send me a message.
Best regards,
I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too.
Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese?
I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.
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?
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! 🥺🏻
I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
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?
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?
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.
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!^^
