Bonjour,
Nous souhaiterions nous installer mon mari et nos 2 enfants d'ici 1 à 2 ans (le temps de monter notre projet) en République dominicaine. Mais nous sommes interessés par plusieurs endroits: las terrenas, Rio san juan, Cabrera.
Nous comptons nous y rendre d'ici peu pour une visite, mais je m'adresse aux personnes qui sont parties y vivre, pour nous donner quelques conseils sur ces 3 endroits.
Je vous remercie de vos réponses.
A bientot

Hola!
Je peux te dire que Las Terrenas est plus animé comme village parmi les trois que tu mentionnes là et ce village est le plus proche de Santo Domingo grâce à la nouvelle autoroute. Par contre, il faudrait voir si votre projet aura bien de la concurrence là-bas car comme je te le dis, LT est bien frequentée et compte déjà avec pas mal de business.
Je pense que lors de votre prochaine visite, vous aurez un bon aperçu de ce que je te dis.
Salut😎,
Pablo

Le meilleur est de vous rendre compte par vous mêmes et surtout de ne pas écouter les personnes déjà installés en faisant un commerce à moins de dire que vous venez pour votre retraite.

Salut jeune homme,
J'ai une légère problematique que je crois dont tu pourras m'aider,
Mon épouse désires retourner en RD en 2010, la problèmatique est ici, moi je désires me diriger vers Samana, ( J'ai déja fait Puerto Plata, Sosua Cabarete et Riu San Juan) donc la cote nord,
Mon épouse a une petite fille qu'elle apprécie beaucoup a Sosua, elle l'a pris sous son aile et aimerais bien la revoir, alors comme tu semble bien connaitre la RD quel est la distance a parcourir entre Samana et Sosua et en combien de temps,
Remarque que je n'ai pas peur des WAWA sa monte mon taux d'adrélaline LOL Je suis pres a prendre le taxi.
Toute suggestion de ta part serait bien apprécier.
Ce n'est pas parce que les choses sont difficiles que nous n'osons pas c'est parce que nous n'osons pas qu'elles sont difficiles
Hola!
Tu me poses la question pour envisager de faire la trajet chaque jour ou juste durant les week-ends? Si c'est pour faire la route tous les jours, ce n'est pas pratique. Vous devez choisir l'un des deux endroits pour y habiter😉.
Il me semble que la distance en voiture privée est 3h30 et en guagua c'est plus long.

C'est bien volontiers que je peux te parler de mon expérience, je suis installée dans la région de Cabrera depuis 2 ans, mais ce qui est valable pour l'un ..................Déjà c'est difficile de te répondre sans savoir ce que tu attends de ton installation ici, quel business te tente, quelle est votre manière de vivre?
Quelqu 'un qui est très ''fashion'' et qui adore faire les boutiques, qui veut les mêmes services qu' en France, aimera Las Terrenas, en revanche un personne près de la nature, qui veut un environnement varié, mer et lomas et une ambiance plus ''gros bourg de province'' peut adorer Rio
Si tu veux par exemple faire du rendement locatif je te dirais vas à Cabarete ou à Las Terrenas, si tu veux investir dans de la terre viens chez nous parce que les prix sont encore raisonnables mais le marché va exploser dans les années qui viennent
Si tu le souhaites on peut en reparler.....mon mail privé, si besoin , tinadecastillo@live.fr
et sur mon blog des images de ma région
Merci pour l'info bien aprrécier de ta part, mais je crois que cela sera pour une journée seulement , elle va l'amener faire des achats avec elle (Maria)
Pendant ce temps la , je vais en profiter pour amener des gants de et des balles de baseball dans un parc que je connais a Sosua, ainsi que des articles scolaires dans les écoles du coin .
Mais 3:30hres de route pas sur que je vais le faire donc je crois que je vais me diriger entre Sosua et Cabarete, Donc nous pourrons la voir plus souvent et meme l'inviter a notre hotel pour qu'elle puisses profiter d'un peu de plaisir.
Bonne journée a toi et merci
Bonne journée a toi et merci
Ce n'est pas parce que les choses sont difficiles que nous n'osons pas c'est parce que nous n'osons pas qu'elles sont difficiles
Concernant ta demande de médicament s'ils sont en vente libre au Québec je te les amenes sans problemes
Février 2010,
Bonne chance a ton copain.
Je te contacte concernant ce sujet
Ce n'est pas parce que les choses sont difficiles que nous n'osons pas c'est parce que nous n'osons pas qu'elles sont difficiles
Ouais! Ce sera plus facile pour vous tous de choisir un hôtel sur Cabarete😉!
Salut et grand merci pour les médicaments.

Bonjour et merci à tous pour vos réponses.
je suis formatrice informatique, mais je doute pouvoir trouver un boulot en république dominicaine sans y avoir de contacts.
Alors avec mon époux, nous aurions plusieurs projets en tête : monter un petit commerce vestimantaire, lui souhaiterait plutôt faire du locatif, mais je me demande s'il est possible d'avoir un rendement locatif à l'année?
Ou alors, je me pose une question: peut-on trouver des tabacs presse comme commerce?
Nous avons du temps devant nous et nous ne souhaitons pas faire n'importe quoi.
merci encore pour tous vos renseignements.

Bonjour,
Nous venons d'acheter une maison à Las Terrenas près de la mer. Nous souhaitons nous y installer au mois de juillet 2010. Que faut-il faire pour ouvrir une société? On a des amis qui ont acheté à Cabarete mais personellement je ne crois pas en l'avenir de cet endroit surtout pour y vivre toute l'année. Est ce que quelqu'un qui connaît les deux endroits sait me dire si mon choix est le bon? Que faut-il faire si je veux ma lancer dans l'immobilier à Las Terrenas? Nous avons un fils de 12 ans qui va rentrer dans l'école française, est ce une bonne école? Merci de me donner des renseignements sur la vie au quotidien sur place. Amicalement Lorenzo

http://www.drlawyer.com/txtfr/articlesbus.html vous trouverez ici des infos sur le montage d'une société.
Je ne suis pas la mieux placée pour vous parler de Las Terrenas, j'y vais plus que rarement mais il y a sur ce forum des résidents comme STEPHLT qui y vit depuis 9 ans je crois, qui pourront surement vous renseigner😏
le mieux est de venir sur place et
de prendre le temps
de regarder
de ne rien acheter sur un coup de coeur ou de tete
il faut prendre le temsp

Bonjour Laure.
Je vis à Cabrera. Quoi te dire entre les 3 villes que sont Rio San Juan et Las Terrenas. Je n'aime pas trop Las Terrenas, mauvaise mentalité, délinquance, bref... Rio San Juan à part le café de Paris et l'Estrella ainsi que la Laguna gris gris, , il n'y a guère que des trous dans la route et des canivaux.... Cabrera est pour moi le mieux. C'est une ville plus cosmopolite que Las Terrenas ou Rio, plus propre. De toute façon entre Rio et Cabrera il y a 16 KMs. Par contre Las Terrenas c'est à 1 heure 30 environ. Que viendrais tu faire dans notre coin ? Je te laisse, bises, Juan-Mario.

Bonjour,
Nous venons de nous installer sur Las Terrenas depuis peu de temps mais avions beaucoup de contact par notre travail avec la région. C'est un endroit fanstique où les gens sont très agréables et une manière de vie où on s'adapte très vite. Je pourrais vous donner beaucoup de conseils et vous apportez de l'aide si vous en auriez besoin.
A bientôt Alexandra

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.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
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!!

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.

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[;)!!!]

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?

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!^^
