S'installer en Nouvelle-Calédonie

Original post
Bonjour à Tous!
Voilà j'ai 27 ans, ca fait plus de deux ans que j'habite à La Réunion et je suis un Zoreil!
Bref ma copine est réunionnaise, elle est assistante gestion, moi je suis négociateur immobilier.
C'est vrai qu'on a un cadre de vie idéal, des bons salaires, mais voilà, l'île est petite et j'ai déjà la boujotte!
J'ai grandit en Martinique, j'ai était élévé dans "le culte" de la Calédonie, l'ile des pins, ... Mes parents y ayant vécu longtemps avant ma naissance.
Alors voilà, j'ai envie de tenter ma chance! Je suis jeune, pas d'enfant! Je réve d'un bateau le week end pour partir sur les ilots alentours (ce que je ne peux pas faire à La Réunion), j'en veux toujours plus, et je sais, c'est risqué. Mais quand je suis venu vivre à La Réunion, j'entendait tous et n'importe quoi, et je gagnai le rmi en arrivant...
Alors y'a t'il une place pour un opportuniste comme moi? Aucun contact sur place, mais un peu de sous de coté. Etant habitué à une ile métissée et tolérante, le contraste ne sera pas difficile? Un couple métissée ne pose pas de soucis? Y'a t'il du boulot dans l'immobilier?
Merci de me faire partager vos expériences et bonne continuation zot tout!

"Jamais dans la tendance mais toujours dans la bonne direction"
Mes soeurs vivent à la Réunion, et moi en Calédonie, pour comparer, je trouve qu'on "étouffe" moins ici, car c'est plus grand, il y a beaucoup moins de population et il n'y a pas autant d'embouteillages.
Par contre le coût de la vie est bien plus élever, ce n'est pas un département, donc pas d'aide sociale et l'assurance chômage est très light, tout comme les remboursements de la CAFAT (sécu), et les lois du travail ne sont pas les mêmes, tu travailles plus ici pour moins, moins de protection et les syndicats ne font pas de cadeau qu'en à l'emploi des Zor.
Ici, énormément d'agences immobilières, s'en est même incroyable (7 pages dans l'annuaire), donc disons que si tu trouves un boulot, je pense que tu seras bien payé, donc à toi la belle vie sinon, bah bonjour la galère.Il y a je pense tout de même plus d'opportunité de boulot ici qu'à la Réunion.
Sinon, je trouve la Réunion plus accueillante et tolérante vis à vis des étrangers, même si étant blanche et mes soeurs noires (Indiennes) j'était un peu dévisagée. Je pense que la différence vient que les gens de la Réunion, ne sont pas des autochtones comme les kanaks qui ont eu à subir les affres de la colonisation de leur pays, même si l'esclavage n'est pas non plus une petite affaire...
Pour le métissage, en fait les kanaks ne se mèlent pas tellement, ils sont facile d'abord et toujours accueillants, mais restent méfiants car beaucoup on profité d'eux sans retour, mais je ne pense pas qu'on puissent te repprocher d'être un couple mixte.
Moi ce que j'aime c'est le sentiment de liberté immense que l'on ressent ici (à condition d'avoir les moyens), chasser, pêcher, camper sur un ilot sans personne pour t'emmerder. En plus les bateaux sont très abordables, et contrairement à ce que l'on dit, on sort souvent, nous en sommes à plus de 50 sorties en 10 mois avec un bateau de 4, 52 mètres! Je te propose de visiter les Ilots dans la rubrique "sorties en mer" de mon blog (attention il y a plusieurs pages dans la rubrique curseur en haut à droite) : http://lucrecia1032.spaces.live.com/

Plus chér qu'à La Réunion???? C'est possible? Lol.
Super les sorties bateaux sur ton blog, exactement c'que je veux. Non vraiment ca motive. On attend le vol Réunion - N.C via sidney qui devrait ouvrir début 2009 pour avoir un apercu.
Merci d'avoir donner de ton temps et bonne continuation à vous.

Salut les gambadeurs,
La Nouvelle Calédonie est un pays superbe et trés indépendant malgré ses attaches à la France. Il y a d'un côté les Caldoches, et de l'autre les Kanaks... Les clivages sont trés marqués, et au milieu de tout ça tu as les zoreilles... J'ai vécu 2ans sur l'île des pins et je n'en ai je t'assure pas que de bons souvenirs, pourtant c'est une terre attachante. Les locaux (Kanaks) vivent encore sous les règles strictement tribales, un peu moins prés de Nouméa, mais cette façon de vivre est encore trés présente dans les îles et dans le Nord.
C'est un esprit trés communautaire et il faut bien le dire un peu hostile à ce qui vient de l'extérieur. J'ai néanmoins fait de trés belle rencontre, de celles que l'on oublie pas. Les échanges sont possibles et des discussions surréalistes (pour toi) peuvent s'engager, des palabres que l'on aurait pu écouter il y a de cela 2 ou 3 siècles au coin d'un feu prés d'une case surmontée d'une flèche fétière, les flèches des pins colonaires se découpant sur un ciel étoilé...

salut à tous !
A Nouméa depuis maintenant 1 mois, j'ai dévoré les différents forums de ce site avant mon départ, et en ai apprécié le nombre d'informations pratiques que j'y ai trouvé !
Bref, je suis maintenant bien installée, mais malheureusement, d'ici le 15 septembre, ma coloc rentre en métropole, et l'appart rendu aux propriétaires. Je serai donc à la rue et sans coloc, et cherche une solution. Pour les Calédoniens parmi vous, avez-vous des bons plans, ou idées quelconques ? Ou pour les métros parmi vous, certains seraient intéressés par une coloc à partir (à peu près) de cette date-là ??
J'espère que vous pourrez me donner des conseils !!! A+++

C'est vrai que les logements sont un problème à Nouméa (tu es à Nouméa?). Les apparts en location sont en généralement trés cher et tu engloutis vite ton salaire pour un logement plus que modeste. Toutefois Nouméa est une trés petite ville et tu as tôt fait de connaître tous le monde, j'entends par là que si tu es disposée à sortir un tant soit peu le soir sur Anse Vata ou sur la BD, tu connaitras bientôt le tout Nouméa (si tu es un peu extraverti). Les caldoches sont souvent trés accueillants (bien qu eméfiants) et tu auras vite un réseau d'amis qui devrait pallier à ta situation. Sinon tu peux essayer cette adresse : noumea-immobilier.com
Je peux également te donner mon hotmail en mp car je possède toujours des contacts en Calédonie.

Salut
je m'installe sur noumea d'ici fin septembre. Je vais travailler dans un laboratoire d'analyses médicales. Je suis effectivement trés intéréssée par ta colocation meme si le 1er mois c'est mon employeur qui me logera à l'hotel. En tout cas je compte me mettre en coloc par la suite donc si tu est toujours intéréssée d'ici la.

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 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.

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[;)!!!]

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!^^
