J'espère que vous pourrez m'aider, voilà je cherche à partir prochainement en Irlande pour travailler, mais il reste quelques détails que je n'arrive pas à régler :
J'ai fait une demande de passeport mais j'ai peur de devoir partir avant de pouvoir l'obtenir. En ai-je vraiment besoin immédiatement, ou cela peut-il attendre un mois ou plus ?
Si je pose cette question c'est d'un point de vue administratif : PPS number, compte en banque, inscription auprès du consulat...
Mon autre question concerne la responsabilité civile vie privée. Elle est souvent exigée en France mais en Irlande ? Doit-on avoir une assurance habitation comme en France ? Où faire la demande ? Que me conseiller-vous personnellement ?
Merci pour l'info.
C'est vrai, mais j'ai vérifié auprès de l'ambassade, et pour un séjour de plus de 90 jours, le passeport est exigé. De plus, j'ai entendu dire que certaines banques préféraient le passeport à la CNI comme pièce d'identité. Quelqu'un a-t-il déjà vécu cette situation dans une banque ou autre administration ?
Je voudrais être certaine de ne pas rencontrer de problèmes au cours du premier mois sans passeport.
Et pour la responsabilité civile, quelqu'un a une idée ou serais-je la seule à me poser la question ? J'ai eu beau chercher, je n'ai pas réussi à obtenir de réponses à cette question.
Salut Siobhan (a te lire, j'imagine que c'est un pseudo bien choisi plutot que ton prenom, aussi joli soit-il 😉),
Pas besoin de passeport comme te l'as dit Nemo, et pour le compte en banque, une piece d'identite pour l'ouvrir. On demande facilement un passeport, parce que c'est la seule piece d'identite obligatoire qu'on les irlandais. Ta carte d'identite francaise (je suppose que t'as la nationalite francaise 😊) suffit comme piece d'identite.
Quant a la responsabilite civile vie privee, desolee je ne sais pas ce que sait, je ne peux pas te renseigner.
si tu est citoyen d'un pays membre de l'union europeene , tu n a pas besoin de passeport , seul une piece d'identité en cour de validité et requise, j ai voyager une paire de fois entre la france et l irlande , mon passeport n a servi qu a remplir mon portefeuille😉
pour le pps number , va a la welfare office des que tu arrive, simple formulaire a remplir et tu le recois dans ta boite aux lettre 15 jours apres, l assurance habitation si tu et loger par une agence comme eazycork eazy dublin ou cityhall c est pas ton probleme il s occupe de tout !!
voila n hesite pas a me demander si tu as d autre question
take care mate!
who can tell us all about where we'll be tomorrow?
Merci beaucoup, cela me rassure qu'autant de gens précisent que le passeport est inutile. Selon plusieurs personnes de l'ambassade d'Irlande, il est toutefois nécessaire au-delà de 90 jours de résidence 😐... Je l'aurai début octobre dans le pire des cas, et il vaut pour dix ans donc il ne devrait pas m'être totalement inutile
Mais ce qui compte c'est que tout se passe bien sans lui d'ici là, encore merci !
Sinon pour la responsabilité civile, c'est bien ce que je me dis, je n'aurais aucune assurance (ni logement, ni voiture, ni rien !) mais si je sors de chez moi et que je bouscule quelqu'un dans la rue et qu'il se casse quelque chose... Vous voyez de quoi je parle ? Effectivement en France c'est l'assurance habitation qui le prend en compte, mais en Irlande ? Cela n'existe peut-être pas... Comment font ceux qui vivent là-bas ?
Je me pose peut-être trop de questions 😄
pour ce qui est des assurances , tu as toujours possibilité de demander la carte vital europeene, si tu reste plus que 6 mois tu est considere comme un expatrié donc tu dois prendre tes dispositions dans ton pays de residence avant 6 mois tu depend de ton pays d origine, mais la simple carte vital francaise ne suffit pas, demande l europeene . sinon tu a toujours possibibilité de prendre une mutuel en france , par expemple avec ta banque, les mutuels couvre les deplacement a l etranger selon les clauses bien specifique que tu dois demander( hospitalisation, rapatriment sanitaire , medecin .....) , apres si tu t installe las bas, tu peus t assurer sur place meme si les assurance irlandaise sont moin avantageuse que les notres......
Mais bon , un conseil , arrete de te torturer l esprit , les formalité administrative sont facile , t 'est europeen alors aucun probleme ta presque les meme drois que les irlandais ........

Pour commencer , il faut demander la carte européenne d'assurance maladie et essayer de partir avec un semblant d'assurance responsabilité civile française , c'est une bonne idée .Si vous en avez une en France , elle sera valable là-bas , au moins au début (les touristes n'ont rien de plus) .L'assurance de mes parents m'avait fourni une attestation pendant mes 2 mois de stage à Dublin mais ma logeuse ne m'a rien demandé , mon employeur non plus.
Merci beaucoup. Effectivement ce n'est pas obligatoire, mais c'est une précaution que je désirais prendre. je vais voir avec mon assurance, s'ils finissent par me répondre au mois d'aout !
Encore merci pour toutes vos recommendations sur la CEAM, mais c'est déjà fait 😛
Je ferai passer l'info si j'en découvre plus aujourd'hui...
Tu n'as pas besoin d'assurances sauf si tu comptes acheter en ce qui concerne le logement. C'est au proprio d'assurer son bien pour toi.
Et si tu bouscules quelqu'un dans la rue ou que tu casses quelque chose, c'est pas ton assurance habitation qui rentre en jeu 😄 C'est ta responsabilité civile.
Apparemment je n'arrive pas à me faire comprendre. 🤪
Le titre parle de responsabilité civile, et c'était ma question, parce qu'en France, la responsabilité civile fait partie de ton assurance habitation, ou en tout cas peut en faire partie.
Mais visiblement ce genre d'assurance n'existe pas en Irlande, à moins d'être employeur... Il faudrait donc prendre une assurance expatrié en France comprenant la responsabilité civile.
Et pour le passeport, il paraitrait que certaines banques refusent parfois les passeports comme pièce d'identité à cause de problèmes de fraudes. Mais ça dépend des banques. 😐
Voilà, merci quand même de ton intervention. 😉
Ciao
D'apres la lecture que je viens de faire sur ce forum, je pense que les gens n'ont pas compris a quoi ca servait...
Je vous invite a participer au petit sondage que j'ai mis en place qui pourra vous fiare comprendre quel est l'intéret de l'assurance responsabilité civile :)
Je saisie pas tres bien, tu est Francais? Si tu est Francais en France tu dois allez a la mairie de ta commune francaise.
Si tu est Francaise en Irlande, tu dois allez a l Ambassade de FRANCE a Dublin. ( Il y a un consulat a Cork mais y font generalement que les carte d'identite).

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!^^
