Bonjour,
l'année dernière je suis allée en Australie grâce à un student visa pendant sept mois, et comme j'y ai rencontré un garçon (un australien), j'ai utilisé mon working holiday visa (que je n'ai même pas amorti puisque je ne suis restée que 5 mois de plus, enfin bref) pour rester avec lui en cherchant un travail (ce qui n'est pas une masse à faire d'ailleurs).
Bon, aujourd'hui mon copain est revenu avec moi en France, donc tout va bien, sauf que, dans le futur, on voudrait retourner en Australie, et ma question c'est donc de savoir s'il y a une alternative au mariage/pacs (on compte se pacser pour qu'il puisse revenir en France après expiration de son visa vacances travail en France) pour y retourner et pouvoir y travailler. En plus même en étant marié c'est super compliqué apparemment, donc est-ce que, par hasard quelqu'un connaîtrait une autre solution? Est-ce qu'il serait possible d'y retourner avec un visa touriste (que je n'ai pas encore utilisé du coup) et le transformer en quelque chose de quasi permanent?
Est-ce qu'il est possible d'avoir un second visa étudiant, sinon?
Mon message n'est pas hyper clair, j'en suis désolée et espère qu'il restera quand même compréhensible.
Je vous remercie d'avance pour vos réponses.
Bonjour,
Chaque région de l’Australie à une liste des métiers qui sont en sous effectif sur le territoire, quel est ton domaine et ta formation? car si ce dernier est sur cette liste, et que tu arrives à y trouver un emplois à partir de la France, tu devrais pouvoir obtenir un permis de séjour. Mais cette option c'est pour vivre et travailler en Australie.
Merci d'avoir répondu si rapidement.
Je voudrais retourner dans le Queensland, où j'étais pendant un an, et oui, bien sûr, y travailler. Le problème c'est que j'ai un licence en cinéma audiovisuel (autant dire que ça ne sert à rien, les seuls jobs proposés dans ce domaine sont "non rémunérés", super donc) et là-bas je n'étais que serveuse occasionnelle, donc rien de qualifié.
En Septembre je vais commencer une licence LEA (je ne sais pas encore pour quoi faire après...) donc je ne serai pas spécialisée, je pourrais peut-être enseigner mais je ne pense pas qu'ils manquent de profs étant donnés les salaires qu'ils ont.
Sais-tu où je peux trouver une liste de ces métiers pour lesquels ils auraient besoin d'étrangers qualifiés quelque part? Ou de plus d'effectifs en tout cas, histoire que j'ai des idées pour trouver ma voie, car LEA c'est pas franchement professionnalisant, et non, je ne sais toujours pas ce que j'ai envie de faire plus tard. 😐
Je ne savais pas qu'on pouvait trouver un sponsor de France qui pourrait nous aider à obtenir un permis de séjour. Je savais juste que ça marchait dans l'autre sens (sponsor français pour un australien cherchant à venir en France).
Merci pour l'info!
La seule question que tu dois te poser est de savoir ou tu comptes vivre dans le futur.
Si c'est en France, eventuellement faire des etudes de LEA ca peut passer et encore.
Si par contre tu souhaites vivre en Australie, tu as 2 options:
- apres avoir regarde la liste des metiers deficitaires au Queensland, tu fait une formation AFPA en France et tu essaie d'avoir une experience professionelle au minimum et tu tentes ensuite ta chance avec l'immigration.
- l'option plus rapide et plus couteuse est de retourner faire une formation la-bas dans un TAFE. Vu que tu n'auras pas le statut de resident, tu paieras plein pot (je crois que les etrangers faisant des etudes en Australie sont le 2eme source de devises apres l'exportation de minerais) mais par contre ta formation sera reconnue et je crois que tu peux bosser 20h/semaine a cote.
Le temps presse en fait car la legislation peut changer a tout moment, y compris les quotas annuels !
Les diplomes et les papiers en general n'impressionent guere l'immigration en Australie et dans le monde en general. On s'occupe plutot de tes experiences professionelles.
Si j'ai choisi LEA pour l'année prochaine c'est surtout pour éviter une nouvelle année "sabbatique" et pour connaître l'anglais et l'espagnol dans des domaines spécialisés, car, bien sûr je parle anglais mais ça ne suffit pas si je veux rentrer dans une boîte avec des termes spécialisés. Enfin bref c'est pas le problème.
Je vais regarder les formations, merci pour le conseil, j'espère qu'il sera possible de combiner quelque chose avec la fac, mais ça devrait pas être trop dur.
J'avais pensé à un TAFE, mais comme je voudrais rester deux trois ans en France d'abord, c'est pour ça que j'ai choisi de recommencer un cursus en France. Mais bon j'ai 22 ans, ce serait bien que je trouve un truc qui me plaise rapidement, histoire de ne pas finir à 30 ans sans rien à me dire "bon, et maintenant?". Sinon je dois avoir l'option de faire un TAFE après ma LEA aussi... non? Et là pour le coup ouais je serai pas loin des 30 ans -__-
J'espère que la législation ne changera pas trop rapidement non plus, j'y avais pas pensé! Roh tout est compliqué.
Bon j'ai changé d'avis, je reste en France, je serai serveuse bilingue (wooow)
Non mais toute plaisanterie mise à part, quand j'aurai un peu de temps j'irai voir ces listes de secteurs qui recrutent en Australie.
Merci pour vos conseils, parce qu'à force de naviguer de page en page et chercher quoi faire, au bout du compte je me retrouve à m'égarer complètement dans des trucs qui n'ont rien à voir. Je sais bien que le Gouvernement n'a pas grand chose à faire des diplômes.
J'ai vu que tu donnais des conseils très interresant.🙂
Question : J'ai 23 ans et je reviens d'un an en WHV. je cherche maintenant y retourner en tant que stagiaire dans l'espoir d'etre sponsorise par la suite . Est-ce possible ?
Dans quel domaine ai je le plus de chance de trouver un stage et dans quel région ?
Je ne suis pas très regardante même si dans le tourisme ou les langues ca serait préférable. Je pense a long terme.
Je suis également en train de reviser le IETLS dans l'espoir d'obtenir une note supérieur ou égale a 6 qui pourrait appuyer ma demande.
Le visa etudiant est hors de prix je n'ai pas les moyens de le faire. Merci
Mes expériences professionelles australiennes se réduisent a un travail de 5 mois dans les mines au nord de Perth et serveuse.
Mes connaissances sur l'Australie commencent a dater un peu. Mon 1er voyage date de 20 ans et le dernier de 2010, ceci etant, Il existe une chambre de commerce franco-australienne qui publie chaque annee un guide repertoriant les entreprises francaises etablis en Australie et vice-versa.
http://www.facci.com.au/reussir-en-australie/
C'est un bon point de depart.
J'ai peur que l'acces au visa de stagiaire doive se faire par agence ($)
L'ambassade a Paris avait pas mal de doc il y a quelques annees.

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!^^
