hello vaiana !! 🙂
a peine 6 mois ici pour moi, je n' ai pas encore beaucoup de recul, mais je ne pense pas avoir constaté une telle chose !
je vois des polynésiens et des metros a peu près partout, dans tous les dommaines. peut etre les chauffeurs de trucks ainsi que tout le travail dit de "manutention" sont tous tahitiens et les petits commerces aussi, avec les chinois, mais sinon ça reste a peu près homogène..
de plus j' ai pu rencontrer des gens qui n' étaient pas la depuis 5 ans et qui avaient trouvés du travail tout de suite.
on peut comprendre qu' il y a plus de polynésiens qui travaillent que de métros ( on est en polynésie quand meme !! ), peut etre pas aux memes postes ( car souvent nous autres métros arrivons en general pour des genre de travails spécifiques ), mais on trouve de tout.
et puis surtout tu es polynésienne malgré tout, je pense 😉 tu as envi de retrouver ton fenua, donc je ne vois pas pourquoi on te ferais des soucis..
enfin tiens nous au courant en temps voulu !
nana 😎

Ia Orana vaiana,
Je me doit d'apporter mon humble connaissance à ce sujet puiske manifestement, nous avons beaucoup de point commun en revanche moi, j'ai la chance d'y être retourner à deux reprises, la dernière fois étant l'année dernière, déjà!Mais j'y retourne dans deux semaines tout o plus, ouf!Justement pour y travailler.Tout comme toi, je suis né à Papeete, tout comme toi j'ai été adopté mais par ce kon appelle en Tahitien des Popas(peau blanche)et tout comme toi j'ai envie de m'installer là-bas pour y vivre et donc travailler ce qui est bien entendu tout fait possible.Ce qu'il faut savoir concernant le recrutement ne se trouve pas dans les lois et le marché de l'emploi est ouvert aussi bien aux Tahitiens k'aux Français. Mais la conjoncture étant difficile en Polynésie liés entre autres à la démographie, la pauvreté, la vie quoi..en conséquence les employeurs se doivent de favoriser les Tahitiens mais bon..tout dépend le secteur d'activité ciblé car dans bien des entreprises, la direction, étant en majorité Française, auront une préférence certaine à recruter des personnes ayant eu un parcours professionnel effectué en France certain disent même rencontrer trop de problèmes avec les candidats Polynésiens, mank de discipline, souci de ponctualité...(je sais pourquoi je suis souvent en retard..)Mais c'est ça qui est géniale, travailler et se sentir en vacances!Si c'est pas beau!Enfin voilà, toi et ton futur mari avez toute vos chances et mes félicitations soit dit en passant pour avoir choisi de célébrer votre mariage à Tahiti!Toutes façons ya pas mieux!Nana!
Teva
Iaorana Vaiana !
D'abord ts mes voeux de bonheur, des mmts inoubliables pour ce voyage de noce à Tahiti. Je pense que pour votre installation et votre travail au fénua vs ne rencontrerez aucun pbs vu que tu es Tahitienne d'abord. Les Polynésiens sont adorables rien à voir avec la France. Un petit handicap qd tu parlera ce sera comme les (popas ) tu n'aura pas ce bel accent tahitien avec ce roulé de rrrr... que moi personellement j'adore (sourires) Nana REQUIN

LA FRANCE EST LE PLUS BEAU PAYS DU MONDE AVEC SES DEPARTEMENTS ET PAYS D'OUTRE MER.
merci à tous de m'avoir répondu, vos réponses m'ont réconfortés.
J'attends d'aller là-bas pour que mon futur mari puis ce apprécier ce pays et être sure de son choix avant de le regretter (chose que je crois impossible, mais on ne sait jamais).
Merci pour vos voeux...

Iaorana Vaiana,
Non effectivement ne t'inquiete pas pour ce qui est du travail il n'y a pas vraiment de discrimination entre popaa et polynesiens, si ce n'est dans certains boulots d'accueil par exemple où on prefère voir un local qu'un français tout blanc!! peut etre aussi dans l'administration où il est vrai il y a du favoritisme pour les polynesiens mais comme disait quelqu'un plus haut "on est quand meme en Polynesie"!! et puis pas de probleme pour toi puisque tu es tahitienne....Bonne chance pour votre installation
bonjour, je suis étudiante infirmière et je passe mon Diplome en oct avec resultat en onvembre. je souhaiterai partir travailler a tahiti dès 2008. Je voulais savoir comment est le marché de l'emploi en tant qu'infirmière ? comment est la vie labas (exp perso) ? et si on pouvait me transmettre des adresses pr trouver du travail en tant qu'infirmière ?
merci
marlou
Marlou5
Comme infirmière, ce n'est pas le boulotqui manque et assez bien payé par rapport à la Métropole. Il y a sur Tahiti : 3 cliniques : une de jour, deux classiques + l'hôpital et le nouvel hôpital qui vas ouvrir ....Dans les îles, du boulot aussi en dispensaire ou hopitaux, bien payé, logé...Mais les îles....
Des remplacements aussi, en libéral. Je n'ai pas les adresses sous la main, mais un coup de Google ca devrait le faire !
Tout le monde meurt, peu de gens vivent .

Bonjour Marlou,
La vie à Tahiti je ne connais pas moi je suis dans les iles mais en ce qui concerne le travail d'infirmière c'est vrai que ça ne manque pas!! j'essaye de te trouver des sites ou e mail des cliniques et hopitaux:
Clinique Cardella dircard@mail.pf ou cardella@cardella.pf
Clinique ambulatoire Mamao www.cmm.pf diego@cmm.pf
Clinique Paofai 00 689 46 18 18 pas trouvé mieux....
Centre Te Tiare (centre de reeducation je crois) info@tetiare.pf
Hopital Mamao 46 62 62
Tu peux aussi contacter la Santé publique sur place 460045 pour les ressources humaines
Voilà, j'espère que j'ai pu t'aider...
Bon courage
Gaelle
🙂bonjour Marlou5 je suis infirmiere et depuis 7 ans en polynesie, ne t inquiete pas le travail ne manque pas mais reste vigilante à l exercice en poste isolé qui pourrait t etre proposé il vaut mieux etre un professionnel aguerri pour accepter ce genre de poste, je l ai fait durant 4 ans sur des iles sans medecin. Tu peut trés facilement trouver un emploi sur le Centre hospitalier de Mamao.Sinon tu as aussi des structures hospitalieres péripheriques à Nuku Hiva(iles marquises) egalement sur l ile de Raiatea et l ile de moorea ces hopitaux peripheriques dependent de la direction de la santé.saches que la vie est chere mais la colocation est aisée le salaire d une jeune ide est de 230000xpf environ soit 1900euro sans les primes de week-end et autres.Les horaires sont en 12 heures.bon courage si tu veut d autre info n hesite pas
😏Merci de m'avoir répondu. Je voulais te demander pour trouver un travail là-bas, tu pense que si je prends directement contact avec eux de métropole, ils pourraient me proposer un emploi. Aurais tu des adresses ou ou infos pour trouver uhn logement afin de ne pas arriver là bas sans logement. Pour ma part, la colocation s'est ce que je recherchais car depuis que j'ai commencais mes études je n'ai fait que des collocations. Sinon la vie là bas financièrement, en tant qu'infirmière est gérable. comment trouve tu la vie là bas, les habitants ?

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?
Thanks in advance!

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!^^
