je suis une jeune francaise qui va bientot s'installer sur casa. Je suis maman d'une petite fille de 5 ans et mon mari a trouvé un emploi dans la marina de Mohammedia. Nous allons etre logés dans un premier temps a Casa puis ensuite a Mohammedia.
Jáimerais rencontrer d'autres couples ayant des enfants du meme age. Nous serons la bas debut fevrier. Je connais bien le Maroc, mon pere (pied noir) est né a casa et j'ai vecu 1 an dans le grand sud.
Nous sommes des gens simples, qui venons au Maroc dans une demarche d'amelioration de notre qualite de vie (pas trop le style typique ¨expat¨sans vouloir offenser personne). Bref si vous etes similaires, ca nous ferait tres plaisir de vous rencontrer des notre arrivée 🙂
a bientot
nous somme un couple de retraite et nous somme au Maroc depuis 3 mois bonne installations et attention le Maroc a bien changer mais c'est un tres beau pays
ET bien deja en tant qu"europeen il faut faire attention car il on tendance a souvent te prendre pour la banque de france
de plus en conduite c'est un peu dur ils respecte rien du tout il faut faire tres attention
et surtout pour t'installer il nfaut absolument avoir des amis de confiance du bled car il peuvent t'apporter une grande aide mais il faut vraiment etre sur des amis car il profite un peu de tout
moi j'ai eu la chanse d'avoir des amis et crois moi ca m'a bien aider
de plus sache que si tu veux vraiment t'installer et profiter des conditions qu'offre le fisc marrocain il te faut une carte de sejour car tu ne peux pas recevoir tes pension que sur un compte en dh non convertible et pour ca il te faut une carte de resident environs 3 mois pour l'avoir donc tu vois tout est pas rose
sinon ici il fait 17 degres juste pour te faire rever mais si tu a d'autre questions hesite pas
joyeux noel a toi et au tiens

Juste une précision à mr JP, pour le compte en banque je crois qu'en tant que europeen vous avez la possibilité d'avoir un compte convertible.
et pour etre à l'abrit de toutes surprise il vaut mieux prendre une assurance outre mère c'est caisse qui s'occupe des retraites aussi consultez le site et vous verrez ce qu'il y a comme avantage et inconvignons avant même d'aller au maroc Mr Salmon.
Nous somme aussi un couple qui compte s'installer au Maroc à Casablanca mais à partir de Juillet 2010 mais nous sommes belge et ma fille est dans une école neerlandophone donc ça sera pas facile pour nous de lui trouver une école, il va falloire la convertir en français !!!
mais si qlq 1 a des info sur des éventuelles écoles belge au maroc merci de me tenir au courant
oui bien sur on a le droit d'ouvrir un compte en dh convertible mais pour avoir le regime fiscale
se qui est ttres interessant il faut ouvrir un compte en dh non convertible pour l'assurance oui il vaut mieux mais nous avons la cfe
pour l'ecole il faudrait peu etre consulter l'ambassade de belgique
cordialement
bonsoir, je suis dans la meme situation que vous, je suis une francaise de 30 ans et suis maman de 2 petites filles.Actuellement je vis encore en france mais mon conjoint va monter sa societe a casa et nous risquons d'alle vivre a mohammedia. j'aurais aimer savoir comment est la vie au maroc en regle generale...en 5 mois peut-on préparer son départ?ou est ce que ca fait trop tôt, car je ne veut pas partir en milieu d'année étant donné que ma grande est déjà a l'école et on ne veut pas couper sa scolarité en milieu d'année ...
Avec combien aujourd'hui peut-on vivre correctement a 2 adultes et 2 enfants(1 ans et 6 ans) a savoir que nous sommes des gens simples mais avec un minimum de confort quand même...est-ce qu'il faut louer un meublé et après voir??
quand vous y serez, pouvez vous me dire si cette ville est bien!!!
si d'autres personnes lise se message, se serais super de m'éclairer svp.
Si dans le contrat de travail, les frais de scolarité , la protection sociale sont compris, à ressources équivalentes tu auras un train de vie équivalent avec 10 à 15 % de plus qu'en France !
Toutes les autres prises en charge dans le contrat ne seront que bonus.
Bonjour Nathalie,
Je suis maintenant installée a Mohammedia et je peux te renseigner si tu le souhaites. Je te conseille vraiment de vivre a Mohammedia plutot qu'a Casa, la qualité de vie est vraiment meilleure ici. Si tu veux tu peux m'ecrire a "modandco@yahoo.fr" et comme ca on prend contact et pourquoi pas se rencontrer lorsque vous serez ici pour emmener les enfants au parc ou autre!
a bientot

En espérant avoir de vos nouvelles de tps en tps, merci encore
Hi,
I’m looking for real first-hand experiences from adults who’ve done a language stay in Canada, specifically in Vancouver or Toronto.
There are so many different schools and reviews that are both negative and positive (how can you tell if they’re genuine?!) that I’d rather hear from real people.
I’m looking for fun courses where you really make progress in speaking and comprehension.
+ Homestay accommodation: good or bad idea?
I’m 35—this would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me since I’ve dreamed about it since I was 17!
I really don’t want to mess this up, especially given how much it costs!
Hi,
I’m leaving on September 4th for Vancouver as a tourist for 6 months.
My boyfriend works there, so I’m going to visit him. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn English at a school during October and November.
Could you recommend any schools—price, activities, location, reputation, etc.?
Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde.
I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better.
I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help!
Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone
After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
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! 😄
