Salut!
la Rép. Dom est c'est vraie une très belle île. J'y suis arrivée depuis 2 ans et j'aime vivre dans ce pays. J'ai créé une école de français et mon mari a repris un bar-resto. Nous sommes sur Rio San Juan au nord.
Questions formalités, il est bien de prendre un avocat et de faire des papiers de résident. Tu es ainsi reconnue en tant qu'expat à l'ambassade. Après, il est bien d'ouvrir un compte bancaire. Pour le reste, toujours rester sur ses gardes (car le nouveau venu est souvent une cible!) et ne pas se fier à la vie peu chère, car les installationts coûtent toujours plus que ce qu'on ne croit!
Mais mis à part cela, il y fait bon vivre et si je devais partir, je crois que ce serait très dur ! Les dominicains sont adorables et la vie est paisible. Un petit paradis..
Alors bonne chance!
bonsoir, bien vu et qu en est il de la réalité? faut il une fortune pour s installer en republique dominicaine?
j ai parcouru le monde, afrique, polynésie, dom, et il me semble que la republique dominicaine semble un bon compromis pour avoir une vie paisible sans trop de moyens (certains dominicains m ont renseignés)!
donc "fiou" (ca veut dire marre en tahitien lol) de la metropole
donc avec 1200 e, possible de s installer la bas. les locaux me disent "vie de prince" mais les métros ouf, comme d hab, qui exagèrent alors?
mais bon j irais voir de mes propres yeux sans trop ecouter les gens qui pensent qu il faut 3000 euros pour etre bien, loin de chez nous!
amicalement
Le dominicain local vit avec moins de 200 euros par mois.....Mais.....
il mange tous les jours du riz avec des haricots et des pattes de poulet
il n`est pas malade, ou alors il a de grandes chances d`y passer
il n`a pas d`ordinateur avec internet
il n`a pas de voiture
il n`a pas de frigidaire
il n`a pas d`eau courante
il vit a plusieurs dans la meme piece
il ne va pas au restaurant, ni au cinema
il ne prend pas de vacances
il travaille 48h/semaine
il sort rarement de chez lui..etc
Alors, pour lui, 1000 euros par mois, c`est la fortune
Le metropolitain francais debarque ici avec sa petite famille....et.... il veut une villa si possible avec piscine ou en residence au bord de la plage il veut sa voiture son frigidaire avec congelateur sa tele avec les programmes francais l`ecole francaise pour les petits les soins medicaux de qualite le restau quelques fois par mois de la viande a chaque repas travailler moins qu`en France ses vacances en juillet, a Noel, a Paques, au jour de l`an les jours feries l`ordinateur avec internet recevoir des amis voyager aller au bistrot acheter des cadeaux pour les enfants a Noel, aux anniversaires.. avoir des vetements a la mode.... alors 1000 euros par mois, c`est leger😏

hello et merci pour tes infos, effectivement on ne vit pas pareil, mais bon, pour ma part, je suis seul donc personne à charge. Je ne suis pas un gros dépensier, et j aime parfois vivre à la "local"! je ne recherche pas de villa de 200m2 en bord de mer mais plutot un appart confortable et si je souhaite m installer la bas, c est pour une petite retraite au soleil et à la chaleur et sans aller au resto (francais) ts les jours, me reste juste qu a apprendre l espagnol et avoir un contact pour éviter les "arnaques" en ts genres!
j ai une amie de santo domingo qui me dit qu avec 50 000 euros on trouve facilement un appartemment confortable, sécurisé et pas trop loin de la mer et que la location n'est pas très cher non plus (hors sites touristique)
qu en penses tu?

Si tu es seul, avec 1200 euros/mois, tu vas vivre a peu pres correctement si tu ne te fais pas arnaquer Mais certainement pas comme un nabab
Tu veux vivre au soleil ? Alors pourquoi a sto do ? Sais tu qu`il n`y a pas de plage ? Sto Do, au niveau confort, c`est moins bien que Sarcelles...en es tu conscient? Un petit appartement 'confortable', normes HLM en France, eau courante, electricite, tel, vas te couter 350/500 euros de location minimum A Sto do, il te faut une voiture......soit, avec essence, assurance, maintenance, amortissement...un cout de 400/500 euros /mois Une voiture, ca t`oblige a avoir un garage....
tu es celibataire....alors tu vas avoir une copine dominicaine....200/300 euros /mois minimum
apres, il y a les factures tel, electricite, cable, budget nourriture, restau, voyages a boca chica pour aller a la plage, dentiste, medecin, vetements....etc
Suffit de calculer...pour moi, ca n`est pas evident

Bonjour, je suis tombée sur votre annonce d'il y a 2 ans et j'espère que vous consultez toujours le site... Je suis québéçoise et je voudrais, avec ma famille, m'installer en République Dominicaine. J'ai un baccalauréat en psycho-éducation et je suis excellente en français, j'ai même donné des cours au Collège. Je voudrais savoir si vous auriez besoin d'une personne comme moi dans votre école Française?
Merci beaucoup!
Merci beaucoup!
Bonne journée, Julie xxx
Bonjour
En premier lieu, je n`ai (heureusement ) pas d`ecole de francais....
Si vous connaissez un peu le pays, vous devez savoir que la moitie de la population ne sait ni lire, ni ecrire
Quant au reste, ils font 10 fautes d`ortographe par ligne...avocats, ingenieurs sont incapables de faire une simple multiplication...
Alors , apprendre le francais...ca n`est vraiment pas une priorite
Un professeur de college gagne 7,000 pesos par mois ( 210 us dollars par mois)...si cela vous tente...et le cout de la vie, a part le riz et les oignons, est plus eleve qu`au Canada
la repdom est classee , selon transparency international, au rang 101 des pays les plus corrompus du monde...apres des pays comme le mexique, le burkina faso, la colombie, le Ruanda, le salvador, le perou....
la delinquance et la corruption sont devenus un sport national.
Le pays est remplis d`universites...ou les etudiants savent a peine ecrire correctement. Ils sortent licencies en psychologie, mais n`ont jamais entendu parler de Freud...licencies en organisation du travail, mais n`ont jamais entendu parler de Taylor....etc J`ai personnellement une villa de 250 m2 avec piscine, mais je n`ai meme pas de femme de menage. Elles cassent tout, ne savent pas travailler ( elles nettoient les toilettes avec le meme chiffon avec lequel elles nettoient les assiettes...) ..Et surtout elles volent tout ce qui est possible des qu`elles ne sont pas surveillees
Personnellement, ma villa est en vente et je pars des que possible sur le Chili...

hcgaia,
merci pour tes précisions vraiment "sans fioriture"! J'ai caressé l'espoir de m'installer en République Dominicaine, mais après lecture de tes messages très objectifs, je pense que je vais y réfléchir à 3 fois! 😮
Finalement je crois que pour s'installer au soleil et garder un semblant de vie à l'occidentale (eh oui, je ne suis pas prêt à m'adapter au tiers monde...), je pense que je vais aller à la Réunion ou à Tahiti ! 😎
Au fait, tu es parti au Chili entre temps?? Si oui, c'est bien?
Merci encore, à plus !
Éric
Merci encore, à plus !

Je vis en rep dom depuis 5 ans. J'ai cree une Ecole francaise et mon mari tient un bar resto. Nous sommes intègres dans la communauté dominicaine et c est un pays que j'aime et dont je n'ai aucune envie de partir! Il est dommage que certains en donnent une image si négative et il est effectivement bien de partir quand on ne se sent pas bien quelque part. Venir sur place est essentiel et regarder, écouter, apprendre. La rep DOM a ses qualités et ses défauts. Comme partout! Quel pays offre le paradis et l'absence de délinquance??? Cher Monsieur, venait vous faire votre opinion par vous même c est ce que je vous conseille car nous ne sommes pas tous aussi désabuses! Bien au contraire et bien heureusement!!!
Absence de delinquence en repdom ????
Ce doit etre une blague......
La repdom fait partie des pays les plus corrompus et avec un des plus fort taux de criminalite au monde..

Meme le Mexique est mieux classe par transparency international....
Bonjour hcgaia, et tous les autres
Je n'a imalheureusement pas de bonnes nouvelles de Rep Dom ou vis mon fils et sa maman Ils habitent une région de campagne non-touristique proche de Bani, sur la route de Las Salinas
Mon amie originaire du village Los Tumbaos, que je connais bien rapporte ceci (juillet 2011)
3 travailleurs des champs se sont fait tués pour s'approprier l'argent qu'ils avaient sur eux, les propriétaires de "Finca" n'osent plus aller travailler dans leurs champs
3 motoconchos, se sont fait également tués pour prendre leurs motos et leurs biens, la technique de nuit étant de tendre un câble d'acier entre deux arbres au niveau du coup du motard
D'après elle, la maman de mon fils me demande de faire le nécessaire pour les rapatrier en Europe Pas évident le consulat à perdu le dossier et tous les papiers (c'est presque toujours le cas)
Mon fils à 10 ans et donc le but n'était pas au départ de rapatrier ma famille puisqu'il n'a même pas son passeport européen
Je pensais en 2004 que c'était mieux qu'ils restent vivre dans ce "paradis" mais la situation change fortement avec la crise et la drogue dont la Rep Dom est devenue plaque tournante et consommatrice.
Je suis triste de ce constat, mais partout "ca part en couilles"
C'était pour vous tenir informé...évidemment les Ressorts de Punta Cana et Bayahibe dont j'ai des retours récents aussi ne sont pas concerné par cette insécurité
Sauf que ca devient ridicule la visite de Saona avec des limitations et barrières partout , chaque tour opérateur ayant réservé ses 100 m2 et vous ne pouvez plus bouger de là, ni empiéter le territoire du T.O. voisin
La Rep Dom des années 80 est bien derrière nous...le paradis espéré aussi...

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! !

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?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

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!^^
