Je souhaiterais savoir s'il est possible d'obtenir le WHV pour la Nouvelle Zélande depuis la Nouvelle Zelande , en l'occurence depuis Auckland...
L'idée m'est arrivée trop tardivement en Thailande, j'espere que ca ne posera pas de problemme une fois arrive la bas. Dans le cas contraire j'essaierai le meme visa pour l'Australie
Alors comment te dire ça sans te faire peur ... Disons que je suis actuellement en plein dedans ... sauf que je le fais depuis mon pays la Nouvelle Calédonie.
pour moi c'est différent car j'y vais pour une formation, c'est la NC qui m'envoie, et déjà que pour moi c'est compliqué ...
Peut etre que ça dépend aussi de ta durée de séjour
Il faut tout un tas de papiers, te faire faire une radio des poumons avec un compte rendu en anglais attestant que tu n'es pas atteint(e) de Tuberculose, il a fallu que quelqu'un se porte garant pour oi en fournissant ses derniers relevés et une attestation de sa banque alors que je perçois un salaire de la NC tout au long de mon séjour en NZ, un chèque de 13 200 FCFP (monnaie de NC) soit à peu près 110 euros à l'ordre de NZ immigration, une assurance sur place différente de ton assurance personnelle Française car ils ne reconnaissent pas nos mutuelles et nos assurances, on m'a demandé soit de souscrire à UNI-CARE soit SOUTHERN CROSS, il te faut un extrait de casier judiciaire, une attestation de logement sur place, je crois aussi qu'il faut une lettre et un CV en anglais (mais je me demande si ce n'est pas que pour ma demande spéciale ...), un itinéraire de voyage c'est à dire ta date d'entrée et de sortie du pays, ... le formulaire de visa qui fait plusieurs pages, bien sûr ton passeport et la photocopie du passeport
enfin je ne sais plus trop je vais rechercher tout ça dans mes papiers, car en fait j'ai rendu mon dossier hier et je t'avoue que ce n'est pas facile du tout.
Alors voilà pour les documents mais bon, comme je l'ai déjà dit, ma demande est un peu spéciale car j'ai déjà "le poste" pour le working visa et qu'en plus je ne suis pas payée par la NZ mais par la NC ...
Je vais essayer de trouver les infos dans mes papiers je crois que j'ai une photocopie de la checklist pour le work visa

Merci pour toutes ces informations...
J'ai deja le X Ray certificate, le casier judiciaire et mon releve de compte. Ce qui est plutot bien... Je verrais pour l'assurance sante rapatriement une fois sur place. J'espere juste ne pas aller la bas pour rien ;)
Bonsoir,
Pour l'Australie, il faut faire la demande depuis un autre pays, je suppose que cela doit être la même chose pour la Nouvelle-Zelande. Tu es déjà là-bas?
Cela peut être très rapide si tu as tous les papiers qu'il faut. La radio n'est pas obligatoire, cela dépend d'où tu viens. Ma fille a dû en produire une parce qu'elle avait passé 4 mois en Inde avant.
si tu souhaites effectuer une demande de visa d'un quelconque pays, il te faut le faire en dehors du pays. tu peux le faire de n'importe ou mais pas du pays ou tu souhaites faire la demande de visa.... apres on niveau des formalites, c'est assez simple et rapide. si tu dois passer des radios( facultatif) , la reponse arrive sous 15 jours minimum ( je l'ai fait en France, envoi du formulaire rempli par le medecin sur Londres et reponse 15 jours plus tard)
a mon arrivee a l'aeroport, on a simplement regarder mon passeport et mon visa... quelle surprise moi qui m'attendais a pleins de questions sur d'ou je viens, combien de temps je comptes rester, justifier de mes finances... meme mon billet retour n' a pas ete reclame.... bref.. cela reste facile de venir ici.....
vous pensez que partir avec 2000e sans billet retour et juste en sac à dos c'est faisable to NZ?
jsuis en plein dans la demande de visa, et clairement par internet mon numéro de passeport n'est pas validé
car pour eux soit c'est des chiffres soit c'est de lettres...hé bé non ya les deux!
alors je crois que ca sera demande papiers, moins compliqué d'après ce que vous dites.
merci pour vos réponses

oui bien sur venir avec 2000 euros et juste un billet aller est possible ... beaucoup de monde l'ont fait ici en NZ... et surtout , cela te laisse une plus grande liberte sur la gestion de ton temps ici, d'autant plus si tu veux bouger dans le coin ( asie, australie, fidji..... )
par crainte, j'ai pris mon billet retour, mais je le regrette un peu..
concernant ton probleme de passeport, c'est curieux...
a plus

pour tous ceux à qui ca arriverait
sachez que le site de l'ambassade néo zélandaise a quelques soucis avec
l'entrée des numéros de passeports.
Si ca vous arrive, écrivez leur un mail et ils sont charmants ces néo zélandais
ils vous prennent en charge et vous oriente!
merci nadia, je pense que je vais faire ça...
car effectivement ile fidji et autres...le voyage appelle le voyage!

théoriquement les demandes de pvt doivent se faire en france a l'ambassade du pays concerné
apres en réalité c'est un peu différent, les pvt en australie et en nouvelle zelande on des quotas mais sont rarement atteint donc ils sont plus simple a avoir que le canada ou y sont tes regardant.
tu peux essayer de faire ta demande depuis la nouvelle zelande mais ca peu passer comme tu peux te faire refouler.
sinon pour etre sur tu peux avoir deux solutions
1) aller faire ta demande depuis la NC (j'ai pas essayé perso mais un pote las fait pour l'australie)
2) envoyer ton passport par courier en france le temps d'a voir les visa et te le faire renvoyer, le seul souci de cette méthode c'est que l'ambassade la bas verra un tampon d'entré en NZ mais pas de sortie, mais normalement y devrai pas y faire attention
il existe un site sur les pvt qui est tres complet et pourra surement t'aider

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!^^
