Hola!
Le mieux pour vous est de venir faire les contacts sur place. Vous aurez plus de chance!
Sinon je pense que malgré la situation économique et financière actuelle, le secteur de la construction se développe d'une façon moyenne en RD🤪.
Salut,
Pablo

Bonne chance, car ici il faut vraiement être introduit dans le milieu pour réussir, connaitre les tenants et aboutissants. Il faut savoir que c'est un petit pays, les ingés, archis etc ont étés a l'école ensemble ou se connaissent, c'est un milieu très fermé, il faut savoir que dans une construction, parfois jusqu'a 40% du coût va dans les commissions occultes, mais il faut savoir a qui et comment.Ca c'est pour la grande echelle, pour ce qui est du petit artisan, ici tout le monde peut être maçon, menuisier, plombier, il n'y a pas de diplôme sanctionnant les études. Une camionette pourrie, un aide et roulez bolide. Ici, le client achète tout et paye seulement la main d'oeuvre et bien souvent par "ajustes" ou forfait et là il faut savoir sur les prix.
A moins de trouver une "niche" ou il y a peu de concurrance, c'est dur, en plus la crise économique touche de plein fouet la RD, les hausses des matériaux et des crédits font que le marché stagne, - 30% en 6 mois, pensez le bien.
merci clermontois,
nous voulons etre surtout en rénovation de villa et de condos.
nous savons bien que ce n'est pas avec les paysans que nous ferons un chiffre d'affaire.
avant tout nous allons résider quelques temps en rep dom pour y voir vraiment le potentiel.
merci pour tes commentaires, , , , toujours les bienvenues

paysans n'est pas un terme que j'aurais choisi, car dans votre bouche il me semble un peu péjoratif.
j'en suis un de paysan, mais en france.
je reviens de samana et ayant fait le trajet avec une expa qui est dans la promotion immobilière elle ma confirmé les dires de pablo et de clermontois et de plus il y a beaucoup de batiments a la vente dont beaucoup de neuf.

c'est bien ce que je dis! c'est péjoratif !!!!!!!!!!!!!
vous considérez les travailleurs de la terre comme des moins que rien puisqu'il n'ont pas beaucoup d'argent.
mais enfin loin des polémiques, vous risquez de revenir au pays une main devant et une main derrière si vous vous laissez tenter par une aventure irréfléchie.
ils ont pas d'argent les "péquenaux" locaux mais doivent etre rusés, et entre les expatriés c'est la guerre, ne serais ce que commerciale.
si voulez ya du taff en france dans le secteur, même avec la crise immobilière, mais les charges ne sont certainement pas les même.
bye bye et bonne chance.

bonjour, connais tu des agences intérims qui cherchent des ouvriers du bâtiment? je suis désireux de venir travailler durant 1 bon mois (ou 2?!) et préfère les contacter avant pour gagner du temps!

Bonjour,
Je penses que tu n'as pas bien suivi. Oui il y a Adecco mais cela ne fonctionne pas pour le batiment, si je suis un architecte, voila comment cela se passe: Je vais chercher une entreprise qui se charge du projet et de la réalisation. Cette entreprise n'a pratiquement personne. Elle envoie un ingenieur qui s'appel Resident pour la durée du chantier. Libre a lui de contracter qui il veut comme "Maestros" responsables des différents corps de métiers, ensuite, chaque maestro va contracter ses employes, qu'ils connaissent sans interimaires, payés a la journée en liquide, main dans la main. En conclusion et que cela soit bien assimilé, si tu n'est pas d'ici, que tu ne connais personne et que tu n'es pas prêt a vivre avec 10 ou 15000 pesos/mois, et pas tous les mois vu la crise, alors oublie le. Désolé, ici la reussite dans le batiment, passe par les études (ingé, archi, etc...) et par une bonne connaissance du milieu et un bon parainage de très haut niveau pour commencer. En plus et cela me parait indispensable une maîtrise des techniques de constructions qui n'ont rien a voir avec l'Europe, non plus les materiaux ou les normes.

ok, ok..., merci de ta réponse, mais, contrairement à ce que tu me dis, j'avais capté, mais puisqu'ilk y a des agences d'intérims, et que tu es DEJA sur place, je préfèrai te poser la question, tout simplement !! je pensais avoir été clair assez?!
Des contacts chez toi, j'en ai déjà, (je tais les noms par respects pour eux!!)mais vaut mieux trop que trop peu, non?
Pour ce qui est de l'expérience du bâtiment, j'ai passé 10 ans d'expérience, par contre, je suis tout à fait d'accord avec toi pour ce qui reflète des NORMES du pays à respecter !! cela varie ENORMEMENT d'un pays à un autre!!
A combien est le pesos déjà? Sinon, j'ai une autre solution qui serait de crèer moi même MA BOITE, mais je préfère attendre un peu, pour mieux connaitre le "pays", la mentalité, etc....qu'il y ai crise ou pas, quand "on" sait travailler, pas de soucis!! CELA NE ME TRACASSE VRAIMENT PAS !!
Merci de tes "infos", et sache qu'il y a (et aura tjrs!!) du travail pour toute personne qui SAIT TRAVAILLER! Le tout est de ne pas avoir "peur" de retrousser ses manches, juste ou pas?
Bonne journée à toi...

Désolé mais je ne connais pas d'agences spécialisées dans le domaine que tu signales dans ton message précédent🤪🏴☠️🤪!!!
Desolee je vais mettre un petit bemol a tes certitudes. Tu peux etre le meilleur du monde dans ta partie, personne ne te paiera a ta juste valeur. Je connais bien le milieu expatries, j'en fais partie, les clients feront peu appel a toi, ils preferent payer 500 pesos / jour un plombier, electricien, ou autre corps de metier [ c'est le tarif d'un ouvrier specialise haitien et d'un main d'oeuvre dom ] que de faire appel a un ''gringo'' meme s'il est dix fois plus competent, c'est dans la nature humaine, les gens meme ceux qui ont de l'argent negocient tout ici; j'ai pas mal de copains artisans qui rament dans ce pays......
Autre petit conseil si je puis me permettre, on a tous eu des contacts, des soi disant amis prets a nous aider dans le pays, on s'apercoit sur place qu'il y a 90% de vent.... Meme avec un contrat signe en mains il te faudra ouvrir grand les yeux. La Republique Dominicaine est un pays TRES surprenant 😉
oui nbien sur, mais je ne baisse pas si vite les bras, "QUAND ON VEUT> ON PEUT, le tout est de le vouloir !!
je ne me bas pas sur les soit disant promesse du net, car déjà eu qques blagues, et je n'ai plus trop confiance, je me suis fait tout seul jusqu'ici, et je continuerai, MAIS qu'on ne me demande rien, ce sera NON aussi tu sais !!
Si j'aboutis chez toi, c'est surtout pour le climat, et être loinde la ville, des "gueulards"excuse moi ce terme, mais c'est le seul valable !!
ici, il neige, et c'est très mauvais pour moi, il fait trop froid!!

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’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!

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[;)!!!]

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!^^
