Bonjour, j'aimerai m'installer sur une des iles en PF ou la RD d'une
manière définitive mais sans y travailler localement, en effet mon
travail peut se faire par internet.Etant indépendant mes revenus
ne sont pas réguliers, c'est pour cela que je recherche une ile pas trop
chere mais non plus pas trop déserte. Ce qui m'intéresse sont les
couts fixes (location, prix d'achat moyen, pour 2 chambres à coucher,
sdb etc. ; appt. ou maison) + d'eventuelles taxes, eau, électricité etc.
Tous les frais fixes quoi, mais sans compter l'alimentation, je verrai sur place.
Je ne viens pas sans le sous mais mes réserves ne seront pas éternelles et
encore une fois, mes revenus ne sont pas forcément les mêmes tous les mois.
merci de me répondre
merci de me répondre

Salut,
si tu es suisse, tu auras des formalités à accomplir pour obtenir un titre de séjour et de travail (réglementation spécifique à la PF).
Pour le choix, y a pas photo : va en RD où le coût de la vie sera de très loin inférieur à celui de la Polynésie (un des plus chers du monde !). C'est d'autant plus valable que tu dis que tes revenus ne sont pas constants et réguliers...
En plus, les temps de vol (et le prix du billet) entre l'Europe et la RD sont ridicules par rapport à ceux pour venir ici.
Bon choix...
Eric
J'ajoute à Ericmoorea, qu'en RD Internet est fiable et pas cher, ce qui n'est pas le cas en PF.
As-tu pensé à Mayotte, ce nouveau département français?
Va où le vent te mène, va!
Salut vous deux ! Merci pour vos réponses.
Eric: Je suis un peu intrigué par ton discours ( j'ai lu tes msgs sur le site )...
Très cher, veut dire quoi ?
Vu que tu es sur place je pense que tu es LA PERSONNE qui peut m'aider.
Alors, comme je l'ai déjà dit, revenus aléatoires, mais quand-même petite réserve
et pas besoin de trouver boulot sur place ce qui fait pas besoin d'aller à Bora Bora ou
autres îes hors de prix...
Petite pension à l'année le ferait aussi. Je veux vivre ma vie et ça n'est pas en europe ni
au U.S.A ou le nord (froid), c pas pour moi...
Concrètement, combien (ex. alimentation ) frais fixe par mois ? 2 chambres ) si possible, pas plus que 100 eur p/mois
hahahaha...
Je veux bien venir visiter pour me faire une idée ( super! ça rime... ) peut-être tu pourrais
m'aider dans mes recherches locales, je n'ai pas confiance en internet ou agences...
P.S J'ai oublié, chuis allemand ( passeport européen ) alors, administration, ça devrait le faire...
Thérèse: Chuis archi-nul en geographie, mais sais que c temp. chaude, dans l'océan... Des détails à me donner ?
merci et bisous
Thérèse: merci, je suis archi-nul en geographie, alors, MAYOTTE, c oû ? Temp. chaude toute l'année ? Je sais que c sympa, mais pas de quel coté c... (MER )

quelques exemples de prix: un studio: 800 euros par mois à papeete, les prix en moyenne 1, 6 plus cher que la France, internet: 80 euros par mois pour une connection à 256.. tel: 70 euros par mois.. bre, c'est vraiment très cher, et il est difficile de travailler quand on est n'est pas citoyen français (les lois européennes ne s'appliquent pas à Tahiti, qui ne fait pas partie de l'UE, même si les habitants sont citoyens européens en tant que citoyens français..). ça fait trois ans que j'y suis, et c'est vrai que la liaison internet , c'est dur..même à tahiti...
Salut Olive,
T'as question m'a tout de suite plus car d'une j'ai vecu de nombreuses annees en rep dom, mais petite mais mon pere y vit toujours. et je suis allee en polynesie l'annee derniere en vacances. Et la je peux te dire que tu prends deux anti-theses. un la rep dom, il est conseille quand meme de parler espagnol, de deux il y faut savoir dans quelles villes tu veux t'installer. La capitale santo dominguo n'a rien de tres sexi et tropiqual (pas de plage dans la ville) mais par contre concernant la vie culturelle et de la nuit, c'est une ville super sympa. Et le quartier colonial est vraiment charmant. Mon pere vit toujours en rep dom, a cabarte, un village au bord de mer que j'aime beaucoup, un super spot de windsurf et skysurf, une vie sportive et nocturne sympa mais aucune activite culturelle. ensuite il y a Las terrenas, lieu prefere des expats francais et suisse, un peu trop a mon gout, mes se sont les plus belles plages de l'ile. Sinon en Polynesie, je dois avouer que je n'ai vraiment pas du tout kiffer Papeete, je crois que c'est l'une des villes les moins charmante que j'ai eu l'occasion de voir. Par contre l'ile de Moorea, a une demi heure de ferie de papeete est magnifique, je pense que c la que j'irai vivre. de plus ce qu'il m'a le plus choque a Papeete ce que la nuit c'est mort, mais grave mort, meme mes amis polynesiens l'ont reconnu. Au niveau du budget tu passes d'un pays les moins chers au plus cher du monde. J'ai hallucine en Polynesie, c'est abuse......... Bora je ne t'en parle meme pas c'est jsute de l'arnaque. en rep dom, pour te donner un exemple, mon pere vit correctement avec 300 euros par mois, vraiment pas richement donc avac 500 euros par mois tu vis bien. En rep dom, pas besoin de se prendre la tete avec le visa, surtout si tu ne comptes pas y travailler, tu prends un visa touriste de 3 mois et si tu reste plus longtemps a ta sortie du pays tu glisses 100 pesos dans ton passeport pour le douanier, ca c'est la onda de la republica dominicana. On n'aime ou on aime pas. la bas tu ne payes pas l'electricite mais le mec qui vient checker le compteur. Il y a enormement de corruption comme dans tous les pays pauvres, il faut s'y attendre. je connais la rep dom depuis 20 maintenant et je peux te dire que la vie y a beaucoup change du aux touristes, comme la prostitution qui est un veritable fleau. Pour internet pas photo, la ploynesie est un vrai cauchemar hyper cher et long. en rep dom ils avaient internet avant nous car ils sont si pres des usa...... d'ailleurs un peu trop influence par les ricains a mon gout. Sinon concernant le peuple, ils sont aussi beau, gentils et acceuillants dans les deux pays mais avec des cultures completement differentes. d'un cote des latinos heureux de vivre et qui se laissent porter par le vent (des fois un peu trop pour des occidentaux comme nous) et les polynesiens un peuple fort d'une culture et d'une histoire, hyper souriant avec un grand sens de l'humour. aucun rascime dans ces deux pays envers les europeens. J'ai eu la chance d'aller aux marquises en polynesie, je crois que ce voyage restera un des plus beaux de ma vie, les marquisiens ont une culture si forte, ils viennent des maoris. Je ne pense pas qu'il serait possible d'y vivre pour nous europeens, mais si tu vas en polynesie, surtout ne manque pas d'y aller avec la cargot l'aranui, si tu as vraiement envie de voir et de faire quelque chose d'unique. Je pense que tu devrais quand meme peut etre y aller en vacances dans chaque pays pour avoir une idee, car ce sont deux pays incomparables mais a part que se sont des iles. mais j'adore les deux et je serai prete a vivre dans les deux. Le plus de la polynesie a mon avis ce que tu as le climat et les paysages des tropiques mais tu as toute la culture europeene, comme la bouffe, le shopping....... la rep dom, pour le budget, internet, acces a l'europe c le mieux, mais par contre une autre culture et une autre langue. a toi de voir, en tout cas c'est un beau projet.

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!
Cheers,

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.

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!^^
