Bjr à tous!
Artisan technicien gaz, je projete d'arreter mon activite pour venir m'installer definitivement a Tahiti.
Je cherche des contacts pour une aide eventuelle a l'installation ( coup de main pour se loger, se nourrir et trouver un job, (voir monter un buisness sur place))
Quels sont les "manques" de l'îles..
Que faut il faire pour se donner toutes les chances de s'en sortir.
Je prepare mon depart pour fin 2007 debut 2008..
a tres vite..
« Artisan technicien gaz » c’est quoi ça ? Si cela a quelque chose à voir avec un réseau type gaz de ville tu tombes mal. En Polynésie le gaz est en bouteille et donc pas besoin de technicien.
De plus le coût de la vie en Polynésie française est très, très élevé et les emplois sont a compétences égales réserves aux polynésiens. Il est de plus recommandé de parler tahitien.
Loyer : compte 800 euro par mois pour un minuscule studio. Une voiture entre de gamme 15 000 euro. Un véhicule à Papeete est quasiment indispensable.
Enfin viens passé un mois de vacances pour prendre le pouls. N’oublie pas de prévoir un budget important au minimum 100 euro/jour.
Dernier détail je suis polynésien d’origine je sais donc de quoi je parle.

Bjr Teiki!
merci pour ta reponse!!! en effet, j'ai pû comprendre qu'il faut vraiment bien calculer son coup!!
artisan technicien gaz, ça veut dire que je travaille à mon compte et oui dans le gaz!!Ensuite je chercherai plutot a monter un buisness sur place....à definir!! tu te doute aussi que je dispose d'un budjet non negligeable pour venir m'installer chez TOI!Mais je ne veux pas me planter!!
Quelles sont les ressources de l'île??
De quoi les LOCAUX manquent ils??
Ya til moyen de monter une societé rapidement??
Un brevet de pilote de petits avions est il un +??
J'ai quelques idées...
a bientot petit veinard!!😉😉
Les artisans disposant de compétences originales et sachant se retrousser les manches, sous un climat qui pousse plutôt à la paresse, arrivent parfois à faire leur trou à Tahiti s'ils savent trouver le bon créneau.
Il y a 25 ans, quand on fixait encore les vitres avec des clous, un vitrier métropolitain a débarqué avec du mastic et a fait fortune. J'ignore si on peut encore réaliser un coup de ce genre.
L'artisanat technique est, avec les emplois publics (militaires, fonctionnaires), l'un des rares secteurs où les Popa'a (les Blancs) arrivent à excercer une activité.
Le commerce est tenu par les Tinito (les Chinois).
Le secteur primaire, comme les travaux de force, les petits boulots, sont plutôt occupés par les Kaina (les purs Polynésiens). Ils ont aussi, je crois, le monopole des transports maritimes et routiers.
Les cadres et les patrons du privé sont plutôt chinois ou demis (métis).
Les ressources de la Polynésie sont l'agriculture, la pêche, les perles noires et le tourisme. La Métropole subventionne le Territoire à plus de 90%.

Merci pour toutes ces infos!!
j'en ai bien pris note!!
Je ne suis pas fixé sur lz fait d'exercer un boulot eb rapport avec ma profession d'origine!
je suis pret et motivé même pour changer completement d'activité!! reste a trouver "le filon" !
Retrousser les manches n''est pas un probleme quand l'envie et la motivation sont la!!
a bientot
je vois ... c'est cher vivre la bas ... et pourquoi et de plus en plus important de parler tahitien? La derniere fois que je suis allee, on parlait en français tout le temps
Bonjour,
ma compagne va certainement obtenir sa mutation en Polynésie française (elle est instite). Pour elle le problème du travail ne se pose pas vue qu'elle arrive avec... mais pour moi c'est autre chose... A savoir que je ne souhaite pas faire fortune ni vivre comme un néo-colon en manque de sensations, mais plutôt apprendre le maximum de la vie et des cultures des polynésiens... m'enrichir quoi !
Je sais que nous aurons certaines facilités matériel (multi prime à la vie cher...) cependant c'est pas notre tripe. Nous souhaiterions vivre "roots".
J'aimerai savoir si la pêche et culture traditionnelles pour de l'autosuffisance alimentaire, troc et petit marché locaux est facile d'accès pour un "Popa'a" ?
J'entends par facile d'accès, si les polynésiens n'ont pas trop d'a-priori vis à vis des Popa'a et s'ils se prêtent volontiers à apprendre des techniques de pêches traditionnelles et de cultures de potager par exemple... enfin de l'échange pratique réciproque...
bonjour Eguchi,
je prepare aussi un voyage en vue de m installer en polynesie
je souhaiterai y vivre un peu comme tu le decrit autosuffisance (peche culture...)
si tu as des renseignements sa serai sympa.
pour ma par je n ai pas de renseignement bien precis
juste que en general les polynesiens sont des gens tres gentils et chaleureux.

Malheureusement je n'ai rien de nouveau... J'écume les forums et pour le moment rien sur la vie très très secrète des polynésiens de Polynésie...
J'imagine que tout le monde là-bas n'a pas les moyens de vivre à un tel coût... J'imagine aussi que les polynésiens qui vivent de façon traditionnelle n'ont pas le net et se foute pas mal des forums... 😉
Cela dit je n'ai pas encore eu l'occasion de laisser un post sur cet autre forum qui m'a l'air vraiment pas mal : http://www.tahiti-fenua.com/communiquer/index.php
Je sais que là-bas la pêche traditionnelle en lagon (par exemple) et la culture de fruit et légumes locaux est courante et sert à l'auto-alimentation, le troc et les petits marchés... reste à savoir si c'est accessible à un métro fraîchement débarqué...
🤪
Je continue mes recherche... si tu veux on se tient au courant de nos avancés...
alors du nouveau?
de mon cotes j ai "rencontre" des jeunes sur un forum desirant former une petite comunaute et s'instaler sur une ile de polynesie (y on l air d etre encore plus tete en l air ke moi!🤪 enfin je verai bien)
voila bonne chance à toi et on peut rester en contact si tu veux. nana😎
mon mail: dobutsu@hotmail.fr
p.s Eguchi c pas japonais?

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!^^
