Je suis en Irlande, je n'ai actuellement pas trouvé de job.
J'ai réussi à faire transférer mon chômage ici pour une durée de 3 mois.
Chaque semaine je dois aller pointer au centre social afin de recevoir mon chèque.
Ma question est : que se passe-t-il si une semaine je ne suis pas en mesure de me présenter? Je perds le montant de la semaine ou je suis totalement radiée??
Si quelqu'un est dans la même situation que moi merci de m'éclairer !
Moi je suis ds le meme cas que toi, je vis a dublin depuis 2semaines et je n'ai tjr pas trouvé de travail, comment t'as fais pour faire transférer ton chomage ici? Parce que ca va bientot etre la galere pour moi sans paye et avec un loyer à payer! Je pensais qu'il etait plus facile que ca de trouver un job ici. Tu cherches un boulot ds quoi toi?
Moi je suis à Cork, je cherche un boulot dans l'hôtellerie.
Tu touchais le chômage en France avant de partir? T'as communiqué ton changement de situation?
Yavait un document à demander avant de partir, le formulaire E303 si mes souvenirs sont bons, il te permet de transférer tes allocations chômage durant 3 mois.
Moi ils m'ont radié la veille de mon départ puis ils m'ont donné ce document que j'ai du présenter dès mon arrivée dans un social welfare office. Après ça a été un bordel pas possible mais au bout d'un mois j'ai su que c'était bon.
Je ne sais pas si maintenant il t'est possible de demander le formulaire. Essai de te renseigner directement auprès des Assedics.
En faisant des recherches j'ai vu que tu pouvais faire une demande de transfert même en étant déjà à l'étranger. Voir le texte ci-dessous :
Lorsque la personne intéressée a omis de se munir du formulaire E 303 préalablement à son départ vers un Etat membre de l’EEE autre que la France, l’institution étrangère compétente adresse une demande de formulaire au Garp qui prend contact avec l’Assédic compétente qui le lui transmet en retour. Le Garp adresse ensuite le formulaire dûment rempli à l’institution étrangère qui a procédé à la saisie.
Bon courage à toi !
Quand tu transfère ton chômage c'est le pays d'accueil qui te paye mais ensuite il est remboursé par la France, donc je pense qu'il s'en foute un peu !
Tu dois remplir un formulaire au moment de l'inscription, là ils te demandent quelles ont été tes démarches jusqu'à présent pour trouver un boulot mais aucun justificatif n'est demandé. Depuis 2 mois que je pointe on ne m'a jamais rien demandé. Après je pense qu'ils peuvent savoir si tu travailles grace au PPS number.
Ton message date de juillet 2009 mais bon je pense que tu dois être cernée maintenant avec l'administration irlandaise!
Je viens d'arriver en Irlande il y a 15 jours. J'ai fait transféré mon chômage avec le E303 en me rendant au welfare office le plus proche et ils m'ont dit que je devais attendre 15 jours afin que ça se mette en place. Je pourrais ensuite comme toi chaque semaine venir chercher mon chèque.
J'aimerais savoir s'il est nécessaire de s'inscrire au FAS ? si je ne m'y inscrit pas, aurai-je toujours droit à mes allocations ? Je souhaiterais trouver du travail par moi même car je veux juste un temps partiel et je sais que si je m'inscris c'est uniquement pour du temps plein ( enfin c'est ce que l'on m'a dit au welfare office !)
Non il n'est pas nécessaire de s'inscrire au FAS, j'y suis juste aller au début pour leur montrer mon CV et un monsieur très gentil me l'a corrigé puis après j'y allais de temps en temps pour voir les offres d'emplois. Mais tu peux aussi aller te renseigner pour faire des formations, apparemment ça peut être intéressant et tu pourrais être payé (à vérifier toutefois). C'est un conseil que je donne à ceux qui ne trouvent pas de boulot.
Bon courage dans ta recherche d'emploi !
Toujours pas de travail a l'horizon...je m'inquiete car la femme du welfare office m'a dit que je recevrai la lettre concernant mon chomage dans les 15 jours et ca fait deja 3 semaines. J'ai essaye d'appeller mais pas de reponse. Je vais devoir m'y deplacer juste pour ca et c'est assez loin de chez moi. Te souviens-tu du delai concernant ces demarches?
J'espere que tu t'en sors en Irlande et que t'es pas trop touchée par la crise. Je me demandais si tu pourrais m'aider stp sur un sujet.
Je veux transferer mes droits de chomage en Irlande pendant 3 mois (E303/U2) pour suivre ma copine qui vient de s'y installer. Je sais que c dur en irlande maintenant mais c dur aussi en France. Pourtant, je veux continuer a postuler et faire des entretiens en France... Alors, je risque d'etre en France qnd le social welfare veut me controler. Est-ce que tu peux me renseigner sur les controles qui sont faites par le social welfare?....c chaque semaine, mois etc...qu'est-ce que ca implique?
L'Irlande est derrière moi ! Voilà 2 ans que je suis rentrée mais je vais plonger dans mes souvenirs pour te répondre !!!
Tu dois personnellement te rendre au welfare de ta ville toutes les semaines. Tu as un jour et même un créneau horaire bien défini pour t'y présenter.
Tu fais la queue plusieurs dizaines de minutes (comme dans toute administration!!!) jusqu'à ce que le guichet te concernant soit libre. Tu présente la carte qu'on t'aura donner avec ton PPS number et là la personne te rempli un document mais ces souvenirs sont plutôt flous ! Je ne sais même plus si on te questionne sur ta recherche d'emploi, je me rapelle juste que c'était assez rapide.
Après il m'est arrivé une fois de ne pouvoir me présenter car je suis rentrée en France, je leur ai juste signalé et cette semaine là je n'ai pas touché l'argent.
Mais si tes absences sont récurrentes je doute que ça leur plaise, pour eux tu es en Irlande pour taffer t'as pas à chercher en France.
merci pour ta réponse Audrey!....derniere question, ma copine me dit que je dois me rendre chaque semaine à la poste et pas au social welfare pour toucher un cheque hebdomadaire...est-ce que c bien le social welfare où on se presente chaque semaine?
dsle de te demander a replonger dans tes souvenirs mais c vraiment apprecie..
Pas de soucis, je suis contente de pouvoir aider un peu ;)
En fait tu dois te rendre dans les 2 !
Le welfare te donne un document et avec ce document tu peux aller retirer ton argent au bureau de poste qui t'aura été attribué auparavant.
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!^^
Hello. We’re a couple with an 11-year-old daughter and we’re looking for a good deal on a bar and/or restaurant in the tourist areas of Playa del Carmen, Tulum, or Mérida. If anyone knows of one or is on the ground and can give us some great tips, we’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Safe travels.
