Merci.
jeff
Pour le gabon je ne sait pas(mais franchement je ne vois pas comment) pour le Cameroun ce n'est pas la peine !!! rien de commun avec l'europe encore moins la France. Aucune chance d'avoir même un contrat de droit local dans ce domaine sans vouloir te décourager deja sur le terrain ici c'est tout et n'importe quoi aucune réglementation(du moins personne ne la respecte) et trop d'informel!!! alors si tu veux devenir clodo ou errer dans les rues de douala !!!!!!!!!!!! dans d'autres domaines il y a des possibilités et encore tout depends de ce que tu sait faire de ton expérience etc... c'est mieux que tu reste avec ton avoir marre de la France !!!! a bon entendeur ...................
L'immobilier explose au Cameroun, les villas, les immeubles et complexes poussent comme le macabo. Il faut se munir d'un excellent avocat d'affaire, notaire et huissier. Et bien sûr d'un cadastre en date, ça c'est le moins facile. Mais je n'ai pas encore vu un négociateur occidental devenir riche dans l'immobilier chez nous. Par contre chez les asiatiques et les africains du nord, j'ai quelques exemples.
Au fait, pourquoi tu en as "marres" de la France ?

Merci encore et a bientot peut etre !
jeff
lol je suis entièrement d'accord avec ta réponse à Jeff........c'est une bonne façon pour lui de devenir clochard à Douala ou Yaoundé......et les autodidactes(avec autant de fautes d'orthographe)il y en a plein le Cameroun ou l'Afrique!!!!!!!!!

Salut Jeff,
L'immobilier est un secteur qui décolle à peine, mais entouré d'un grand informalisme. La stratégie la plus certaine pour toi est d'avoir quelques fonds, d'acheter et de revendre ensuite, quitte à t'associer avec des personnes exerçant déjà dans le secteur. Et du point de vue d'association, fais bien attention, autrement, tu cours le risque d'être "frappé", c'est à dire de te faire escroquer.
Si tu as des fonds pour acquérir des terres, tu pourrais prendre de l'envol comme négociant et même comme vendeur à la condition de trouver de bons associés ici.
Dans tous les cas, si tu as un peu de fonds et que tu es déterminé à te faire une place au soleil, il y'a beaucoup d'espaces vides au Cameroun. Tu sauras par toi même comment les occuper.

J'ai bien connu le monde de l'immobilier au Gabon et je te dis "oublis"
Le Cameroun je connais pas mais le Gabon regorge d'agences et de "loueurs à la sauvette"
La demande est beaucoup plus importante que l'offre

Resalut Jeff,
J'ai été abordé au courant de la semaine passée par une ravissante agent immobilière qui m'a fait des propositions de logement. Ma curiosité s'est d'autant plus accrue que je me suis rendu compte que sa boite avait été montée par un de tes compatriotes, un Français qui est venu tenter sa chance ici et dont les affaires marchent. Du coup, j'ai pensé à toi et j'ai pas hésité à en savoir un peu plus. La bonne nouvelle est que tu ne seras pas le premier à t'expatrier vers le Cameroun pour cette expérience. Français, Américains et Marocains sont entrain de se jeter sur le terrain avec quelques Camerounais. L'autre bonne nouvelle est qu'il y'a encore comme je le pensais effectivement, encore de l'espace. La troisième bonne nouvelle est qu'il existe tout un mécanisme avec une structure publique ici qui permet de faciliter la mobilisation des clients. Bref, il y'a un marché, des outils et des clienst à la condition de pratiquer de bons prix. Un seul mot donc, envisage sérieusement ton projet.
Bonne chance

Salut, il y a un vrai potentiel immobilier à Douala, cela explose, les villas poussent partout (Logpom, Denver...). Il fut un temps où à Douala tu arrivais sur un terrain brouissailleux avec quatre piquets en bois et de la ficelle.
Tu plantais tes piquets, tu tendais la ficelle entre ces derniers, un coup de débroussailleuse et hop, tu disais voilà mon terrain !!!
Maintenant une réglementation calquée sur celle de la France (ancienne colonie oblige) s'est mise en place. Avec passage à la mairie, notaire, huissier ect...
Et au Cameroun plus tu as d'intermédiaires dans ce style, plus tu multiplies les soucis car au delà de la réglementation, chacun à son affaire dans l'affaire et certaines choses sont encore un peu compliquées à comprendre pour un européen entre les particularités culturelles et les vraies arnaques et autres détournement de fonds.
Et même si tu as des amis camerounais à qui tu fais confiance dans le business tu ne sauras jamais toute la vérité, on ne te donnera jamais toutes les ficelles avant de t'empêcher d'être vraiment performant et doubler les autres dans les affaires.
Le Cameroun est le pays du faux et de la corruption.
Mais paradoxalement, il y a un vrai marché pour les entreprises gérées par les blancs quelque soit le secteur d'activité car bon nombre de camers sont justement las et fatigués des tracasseries administratives, podvins et autres combines du pays générées par leurs compatriotes. A toi le blanc, on fera plus confiance et on sera moins suspicieux qu'avec un camerounais en ce qui concerne les affaires.
Mais pour réussir à te faire un nom au Cameroun, tu dois proposer quelque chose d'original de nouveau et à mon avis les camerounais sont aussi intelligents que nous quand il s'agit de vendre des baraques ou des bagnoles, ils n'ont pas besoin de nos leçons, ils savent faire.
Bonne chance tout de même...

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?

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!^^
