Travailler en Guyane
by Melanie35
This discussion is in French, the community’s main language.
Original post
Avec mon ami, nous souhaitons nous installer en Guyane en janvier 2008. Je travaille dans l'immobilier et j'ai donc commencé à prospecter dans ce domaine au mois de mai. J'ai reçu deux réponses plutôt positives, mais je ne sais pas ce que ça va donner par la suite.
Est ce un secteur en développement? y'a t'il beaucoup de possibilités?
J'hésite à venir passer une semaine fin octobre pour effectuer des recherches sur place. Est ce nécessaire?
Je suis diplomée d'un 3ème cycle en immobilier mais j'ai également une maitrise AES mention gestion des entreprises. Je suis donc ouvertes à d'autres propositions mais j'ai du mal à savoir si les entreprises ont plutot des difficultés à recruter où si elles ont du mal à trouver des personnes qualifiées. Je ne sais pas non plus à quel niveau de salaire je peux prétendre. Quelqu'un connaît il le salaire moyen d'un gestionnaire locatif?
Merci d'avance pour les réponses que vous pourrez m'apporter.
Mélanie😉
salut mélanie,
tu as raison de choisir de venir t'installer en guyane... Il y fait bon vivre. Je ne connais pas ton domaine de proffession mais je peux te dire que le logement est en crise en guyane.. Il est diffcile de trouver un logement surtout aux grosses periodes de changement (septembre et l'arrivee des profs - decembre et l'arrivee des militaires). Autour de cayenne, ca construit de tous les cotes et tout le monde achete pour faire de la defiscalisation.. Il doit y avoir un sacre parc immobilier a gerer. Il y a beaucoup d'agences qui fleurissent a cayenne et en plus tous les notaires font du locatifs en plus... Aux vues de tes bagages, je te conseillerai de viser plus haut.. politique de la ville de cayenne, departement....
En guyane, il y a en effet un manque de personnes qualifiees, je pense que tu t'ennuierais dans une agence immobiliere... vises plus haut....
A ton service si tu as besoin de details ur la guyane...
Hello Sebnomad!
Je te remercie pour tes conseils, je pense que je vais essayer de m'orienter vers les notaires et les services publics aussi comme tu dis.
Mais toi, que fais tu là bas? Y es tu depuis longtemps? Dans quels domaines travailles tu? et dernière question promis, comment se passe la vie làs bas (quotidien, week end...).
Mon ami lui travaille plutôt dans l'animation (dessin animé...) peut etre connais tu mieux ce domaine. Normalement il fera sa BD là bas mais si il y a des plans, ils pourra peut etre en profiter...
Merci🙂
salut melanie...
pas de probleme pour les conseils. Moi je suis prof, je vis en guyane depuis quatre ans maintenant et je m'y plais enormement. la premiere annee a ete difficile parce que l'installation n'est pas facile mais maintenant, je vais avoir du mal a partir, la qualite de vie est telle!!! Si tu aimes la nature, l'eau, les balades, la vie simple loin de la societe de consommation, bienvenue chez nous... J'ai choisi de bosser dans le bidonville de cayenne, et je me sens vraiment utile... les gamins sont pas tous super forts mais ils savent pourquoi ils sont la...
en ce qui concerne l'activite de tn copain, il y a plein de gens fana de BD ici, ils ont donc ouvert un truc qui s'appelle la cas'a bulle. Un magazin de BD. Il peut peut etre les contacter... sinon pour lui, il y a la possibilite de faire des vacations en temps que profs d'arts plastiques.. il y a de la place et d'ailleurs on en cherche un dans mon college...
en ce qui concerne les activites et les weekend, ici, les gens s'invitent beaucoup, pas mal de soirees entre potes autour de la piscine ou sur la plage... Il y a les weekend carbet, on part dormir en hamac en foret et on se baigne en crique... Moi je suis tres cheval et rando a pied, ma derniere rando etait sur saul... quatre jours de marche sur le mont Galbao... un pur bonheur... n'hesite pas si tu as besoin de renseignements. je fais aussi partie d'un collectif d'accueil des neo-arrivants en guyane. Comme l'arrivee n'est pas facile, on recupere les gens a l'aeroport, on les accueille quelques jours, on leur montre les cotes agreables de la guyane et ensuite on leur laisse decouvrir les cotes moins fun... Rien a payer si ce n'est de s'engager a accueillir quelqu'un l'annee suivante... C'est une sorte de chaine.... voila... bon courage... je ne sais pas si tu connais le site blada.com mais va y faire un tour si tu as le temps...

salut Seb!
Me revoilà avec encore avec mes questions... Tout ce que tu me dis me donne de plus en plus envie de partir. Je me doutes que ça risque d'être un peu difficile au début, mais bon la vie ici c'est pas toujours sympa non plus.
Mon copain (un Seb aussi) a été très intéressé par ce que tu disais sur les vacations. Peut tu nous en dire un peu plus? Comment ça se passe? Est ce possible d'en faire à compter de janvier ou faut il débuter en septembre? ça peut représente combien d'heures par semaine? Un diplome d'une école d'art (les Gobelins en l'occurence) peut il suffire pour donner des cours? et comment se renseigner sur ces postes?
Connais tu beaucoup de gens à choisir venir s'installer en Guyane? Je suppose que ce sont surtout des jeunes et des profs non?
Je vais essayer d'arrêter avec toutes mes questions sinon je ne vais plus rien avoir à découvrir sur place... Merci en tous les cas d'y répondre. 😉 Mélanie

Bonjour à tous,
pardonnez-moi d'intervenir ainsi mais je suis un jeune prof qui viens d'être muté en Guyane (Cayenne) et j'ai lu le post de Sebnomad dans lequel j'ai appris l'existence d'un collectif d'acceuil des néo-arrivants. Je voulais savoir où m'adresser pour pouvoir me mettre en contact avec ce dernier.
Merci et à très bientôt!
Arnaud.
salut Sebnomad !
Tu m'as l'air d'être de bon conseil en ce qui concerne la Guyane alors je souhaiterais avoir ton avis là-dessus :
moi aussi, comme pas mal de membres de ce forum apparemment, je compte m'installer à la rentrée en Guyane avec mon ami. Et moi aussi, je cherche du travail !
En ce qui me concerne, j'ai travaillé 5 ans dans l'humanitaire, dans des ONG en France et sur le terrain. Je possède des compétences dans la gestion de projets, l'audit / l'évaluation / les études socio-économiques et l'éducation. J'ai aussi fait Sciences-Po.
Dans l'idéal, je recherche donc un boulot dans une association d'aide au développement et je suis particulièrement intéressée par les populations amérindiennes.
De manière plus générale, je pourrais aussi peut-être travailler dans les collectivités territoriales (conseil général...).
Si tu as des pistes à me proposer, des conseils, je suis grandement preneuse et je t'en remercie par avance !!!
ps : mon copain est ingénieur informaticien alors si tu as des pistes dans ce domaine là....
Partir est un besoin de vie
je pense que le mieux pour toi est d'envoyer des CV dans toutes les administrations... Ce sont des jobs sur concours mais ils prennent parfois des vacataires. pour ton ami, cela pose moins de problemes, les besoins en personnnels informatiques qualifies est important.
En ce qui concerne les populations amerindiennes, cela me parait assez difficile. Ils essayent de s'auto promouvoir et de plus, il faudrait partir en zone isolee. Tu peux essayer de voir si le Parc Naturel regional de Guyane recrute... ca pourrait etre une piste.

Salut,
Désolé de m'incruster comme ca dans la conversation mais je suis en négociation pour un poste à Cayenne ( pour début ou mi Mai 2008) donc je suis moi aussi à la recherche d'un milliards de réponses à toutes les questions qui fusent dans ma tête.Je me suis déjà pas mal renseignée notamment en lisant les discussions sur les forums mais il en reste toujours des questions!!!! Pourrais-tu me donner les coordonnées de ce collectif d'accueil des neo-arrivants en guyane? Je suis assez sociable dans l'ensemble mais il est vrai que ce n'est pas facile de débarquer dans un nouvel endroit. C'est toujours plus facile ou en tout cas plus rassurant lorsque des personnes sont là pour te guider un peu et te donner des conseils.🙂
Sinon conseil d'ordre pratique: en venant seule est-ce si difficile de trouver un appart de type F2 ou F3? est- ce qu'il vaudrait mieux envisager une colloc? (sachant que j'ai un chat, chose qui n'est pas accepté par tout le monde). Y-a-t-il réellement un problème d'insécurité? quels sont les quartiers à éviter?
Merci d'avance!!

Actuellement entrepreneur dans l'immobilier, transport, je cherche un(e) associé(e) / partenaires/ fondation pour un projet dans l'agriculture donc je suis propriétaire de 10 hectares de terrain.
Les hectares étant inexploités durant des années faute des moyens financiers car le projet nécessite un apport je dirait considérable , acteur principal que je suis je dispose d'un apport minimal.
Je crois qu'il est temps de donner vie à cette espace pour des besoins nesseciteux afin qu'il soit dans un intérêt commun à la société.
Le projet est simple :
1) Cultiver du maïs+usine de transformation en farine
2) Un mini super marché+une boulangerie moderne en utilisant la farine pour pâtisserie etc...
3) Construire un service de santé
4) Construire une école maternelle et primaire
5) Construire des logements gratuits pour expatriés à la retraite en échange de leurs participations gratuite dans leurs domaines respectives.
Ceci étant un projet dont j'y crois , j'invite toutes personnes intéressées à apporter une touche personnelle, sous la forme d'un conseil, une orientation et enfin une implication.
NB: projet à l'échelle nationale et internationale au niveau de l'emplois.

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’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?

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! 🥺🏻

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! 😄

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!^^
