Bonjour, Elodie, enseignante en france. Je souhaite aller en Bolivie en août ( durée indéterminée) pour travailler dans des centres éducatifs, afin de préparer un projet ultérieur de création d'une école montessori. Mais à ce jour je n'ai aucun document attestant quoi que ce soit puisque je ne chercherai un travail qu'une fois sur place. Du point de vue pratique, comment puis-je rentrer sur le territoire bolivien? Est-ce qu'un billet touristique "aller simple" me permettrait de le faire avant de régulariser ma situation sur place?
Dans le cas contraire, suis-je obligée de prendre un billet aller/retour pour pouvoir entrer sur le sol bolivien?
Merci pour votre réponse.
Je suis allée en Bolivie via la route et j'ai eu un visa de 3mois, on ne m'a pas demandé de billet attestant d'un éventuel départ.
Par ailleurs, le jour où j'ai passé la frontière il y avait une jeune française qui venait d'y passer 3mois, qui était ressorti quelques jours (au Pérou) et qui demandait à renouveller son visa de 3mois supplémentaires.
Elle avait réussi.
J'ai une amie qui est partie 6mois en Bolivie (travailler dans des structures d'aide à l'enfance en bénévolat) je peux tenter de te mettre en contact avec elle si jamais. Elle saura peut être plus te renseigner que moi.
Je t'envoie ses coordonnées en privé.
Merci Bambizou pour ton message... C'est donc sûrement possible de ne prendre qu'un vol aller , puis régler les formalités une fois sur place... il faut que je pousse un peu plus mes recherches... Je serai ravie de discuter avec ton amie qui est partie 6 mois en Bolivie...
A très bientôt!!!
Comme on le sait, tu as pas besoin de visa pour rester sur territoire bolivien pendant 3 mois, mais après il faut faire les démarches administratives correspondantes. Normalement les démarches ne sont pas très compliquées si tu expliques les raisons pour lesquelles tu veux rester en Bolivie, en plus si tu trouves un boulot ca sera très simple.
Donc, c'est tout a fait possible de venir en Bolivie avec ton billet d'aller simple.
Si tu as des doutes par rapport a la Bolivie et tous les préparatifs , n'hésites pas a me contacter.
Bonsoir Rodolfo, merci pour ta réponse cela me rassure un peu plus. Mais je me demande quand même si, un billet d'avion aller (sans le retour), avec mon passeport touristique me premettraient d'entrer en Bolivie. Je ne voudrais pas être bloquée à la douane à cause d'un billet retour que je n'ai pas acheté.
A très bientôt, bonne soirée Rodolfo!
Au moment d'entrer en Bolivie dans l'aéroport tu devras passer par la porte de douane, la les policiers vont mettre un cachet dans ton passeport avec la date d'entrée, ils vont te dire que tu as le droit d’etre en Bolivie pendant 3 mois et voila c'est tout, il y a pas normalement des questions, ils vont pas te demander montrer ton billet de retour. Don tu dois pas t’inquiéter par rapport a ca.
Bonne préparation!!!!!!!!
Si tu as des autres questions n'hésites pas! (c'est compliqué de partir vivre a l'étranger)
Est-ce que tu connais dejas la Bolivie? ou l'Amérique Latine?
J'ai été dans le méme cas que toi, on m'a ditr que normalement cela passait sans billet retour, j'ai tenté, et c'est passé.
Par contre je te conseils de touver un job rapidement sur place pour que tes démarches de la migration soient plus faciles, j'en ai pas mal chier quand n'ai fait les démarches en disant que je ne faisait "rien".
Et pour tes démarches, commence 1 mois minimum avant que ton visa de 3 mois se termine car c'est long et chiant.
Bonjour, tu étais en Bolivie aussi?
Tu cherchais dans quel branche pour le travail?
Je ne pensais pas que cela serait si difficile de trouver du travail...
Peux-tu m'en dire un peu plus sur les démarches de régularisation des papiers? Que faut-il leur présenter?
A très vite,
Elodie
J'y suis encore.
Je ne cherchais pas de travail, c'est pour cela que cela à été dur à la migration. Ils ne comprenaient pas que je faisais "rien", et il n'y avait pas de formulaire pour mon "cas"
Je ne pense pas que ce soit dur de trouver un job.
Tu reste légalement sans rien pendant 3 mois en touriste
Après tu dois faire un visa Objecto Determinado 30 Jours dont je n'ai pas les démarches actuellement en tète.
Et ensuite tu fais la Résidence Temporaire d'1 an. (Les démarches sont en dessous)
Ensuite tu fais ta carte d’identité locale.
• Memorial y formulario de declaración jurada.
>Tu va chez un avocat en face de la migration et il te fait cela en 10min pour pas cher. FACILE
• Pasaporte vigente.
> OK
• Fotocopias del pasaporte, de la visa de objeto determinado, ultimo sello de ingreso y de las páginas de filiación. Juste des Fotocopies
>FACILE
• Contrato de trabajo visado por el Ministerio de Trabajo y fotocopia del RUC-(NIT) de la empresa legalizada.
>A voir avec ton employeur
• Si no tiene dependencia laboral, presentar carta notariada indicando el tipo de actividad que realiza y la solvencia económica.
> Si tu n'a pas de job il faut prouver que ta du fric pour vivre, tu va chez un notaire dans le rue Beni et il te fait cela pour 100 ou 200Bs.
Avant, il faut que tu fasses légaliser ton extrait de compte bancaire de France si tu n'a pas de banque sur place.
Pour cela, il faut que tu t’inscrives au consulat et eux te le font.
• En caso de sociedades, presentar fotocopia legalizada de Constitución de la Sociedad registrada en FUNDA EMPRESA y fotocopia legalizada del RUC (NIT) por el S.I.N.
• Si es empresa unipersonal, presentar fotocopia legalizada del RUC (NIT) por el S.I.N.
• En caso de ser casado(a) con boliviano(a) o tener hijos bolivianos, presentar certificados de matrimonio y de nacimientos originales. (Este requisito exime la presentación de los anteriores requisitos laborales).
Cout = Bs. 1.305,00
En fait, le plus chiant (mais c'est facile) c'est de faire le VOD 30 Jours et donc d'aller faire certificat médical au CENETROP pour prouver pas de maladies infectioeuses et SIDA, la police TRANSITO pour je ne sais plus quoi, la police FELCC pour je ne sais plus quoi, et police Interpol pour ton relévé d'antécedents (celui de france ne te sert à rien).
Pour chaque truc, tu doit payer, faire des fotocopies, des photos de face, de profile... Les horaires d'ouverture de merde, les queues, = PRISE DE TETE. Je te conseille d'essayer dans le possible de tout grouper pour perdre le moins de temps possible.
Sans compter aprèd quand tu aura tout fait, il faut que l'on te face une carte identité des étrangers, avec autres démarches, photos, photocopies queues, prise de téte.
Rien que d'y repenser, je fait une depression ^^
Rien de difficile, mais c'est encore plus bureaucratique et chiant et long que la France
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!^^
