Travailler quelques mois en Israël (hors agence juive / hors statut étudiant / hors kibboutz)
by Nicodème75
This discussion is in French, the community’s main language.
Original post
Je souhaite partir vivre quelques mois en Israël, à Jérusalem, et pouvoir subvenir à mes besoins en travaillant (petit boulot) le temps de ce séjour qui durera je pense six mois, peut-être un an.
Comment faire pour obtenir le visa adéquat étant donné que je ne peux pas avoir recours à l'Agence juive ; je ne suis pas non plus étudiant et je ne suis pas intéressé par une expérience dans un kibboutz (je veux vivre à Jérusalem).
Ca complique un peu les choses mais peut-être pas tant que ça !
(Je précise que je suis français ; je parle l' anglais couramment et vais apprendre quelques bases d'hébreux.)
bonsoir Hilde,
j'ai 40 ans, je souhaite partir en juin 2010 (septembre au plus tard) et rester environ un an.
En ce qui concerne le logement je peux envisager une colocation. Au niveau boulot je peux faire vraiment
beaucoup de choses : accueil, vente, tourisme (études sup d'Histoire, connaissances
solides sur les questions religieuses aussi, "bilingue" anglais), masseur (mon mêtier actuel),
toutes sortes de boulots en fait même si certains jobs ne sont pas faits pour moi (par exemple
je ferais un mauvais serveur ou barman, c'est beaucoup trop speed pour moi) !
je me suis aussi posé la question parce que je souhaitais perfectionner mon hebreu.
N'étant pas juive, c'est assez difficile.
Pour travailler il faut un visa de travail.Le plus simple est de trouver un job depuis la France et ton employeur se charge de t'obtenir un visa de travail. Sinon tu peux être volontaire dans les hotels chrétiens. Tu es logé, nourri et tu gagnes des cacahuètes pour ton argent de poche, et tu travailles pour eux à la reception, au nettoyage, au service; pas excitant comme boulot. Mais tout dépend de ce dont ils ont besoin. Il n'y a pas de limite d'âge et c'est pour 5 semaines minimum.
C'est à Jerusalem. C'est un peu trop chrétien à mon gout mais cela peut être une piste intéressante

merci Kobayashi !
ce serait un très bon plan pour moi, je viens de lire et je correspond bien à ce qu'ils cherchent, ce serait parfait pour commencer à prendre pied là-bas et l'environnement de travail m'intéresse.
Pour obtenir un visa de travail il faut sans doute un temps de travail minimum garanti sur place mais je pourrais faire ce travail au moins deux mois je pense, et je prolongerai l'expérience si c'est pas trop crevant.
Je vais à l'ambassade cette semaine pour plus de détails sur la durée minimale d'engagement pour avoir un visa de travail. J'ai aussi une ou deux adresses d'Israëliens vivants là-bas que m'ont donnés des connaissances ces jours derniers. Je vais chercher d'autres pistes de boulots et j'informerai le forum au fur et à mesure.
Je suis contente si j'ai pu t'aider.
Pour ce travail de volontaire je ne pense pas qu'il faille un visa de travail. Tu n'es pas salarié au sens strict du terme. Mais renseigne toi quand même. N'hésite pas à me dire si tu y vas, et à me faire part de ton expérience, je cherche toujours une opportunité pour apprendre l'hébreu sur place!
L'annonce n'était pas très vendeuse pour moi de prime abord, mais si ton expérience se passe bien, je me lancerai peut être.
Nosea tovah!
je suis allé au consulat à Paris.
C'est simple : on ne peut pas y entrer (à moins d'avoir un rendez-vous peut-être ?)
Ensuite j'ai appelé à un numéro donné par un garde de sécurité.
J'ai eu une employée au téléphone qui m'a renseigné.
Elle m'a expliqué, en gros, que si je n'étais pas un cadre ++, un chercheur etc je n'aurai très certainement pas de visa de travail. C'est un peu la réponse à laquelle je m'attendais.
Quelques semaines plus tard j'ai essayé la piste des Ulpan dont je venais d'apprendre l'existence.
Les Ulpan sont des écoles d'hébreux pour immigrants, elles se sont multipilées depuis quelques années (donnant lieu au passage à des abus qui ont fait polémique).
Lorsque j'ai rappelé le consulat le mot Ulpan a eu l'air de simplifier les choses. On m'a parlé de visa étudiant ou volontaire (pourtant il me semble bien que j'avais précisé que je
voulais travailler aussi ; je les rappelerai).
Les Ulpan n'accueillent pas que des juifs.
J'ai appelé l'Agence Juive à Paris ensuite qui a confirmé cela mais on retombe sur la difficulté de trouver un employeur (par contre ils m'a été dit que j'aurais indéfiniment le renouvellement de mon visa touriste sans avoir à revenir en France, suffit de faire un aller retour en Egypte par ex ; j'ai trouvé ça étonnant...m'encourageait-on à travailler au nord ?).
Les Ulpans sont payantes bien que pas très chères paraît-il. Par ailleurs il faut que ce soit compatible avec un temps de travail ! C'est l'employeur qui prend en charge tout ça.
Peut-être faut-il se rapprocher de la communauté juive française longtemps à l'avance. C'est un peu ce que je fais depuis 2 mois et peut-être que ça me permettra de trouver un travail. Ceci dit le sésame final reste entièrement conditionné à une autorisation du ministère de l'intérieur israëlien...(dixit le consulat) Par expérience nombre d'entre vous ont pu constater qu' une administration a un talent quasi naturel à prendre ses décisions dans l'opacité voire l'arbitraire, et là ça semble décidément très difficile.
J'essaie aussi le réseau chrétien (congrégations) mais j'ai l'impression que le gouvernement ne fait rien pour leur simplifier la vie. C'est par aussi le cas des employés du consulat français à Jérusalem depuis plusieurs mois comme on peut le lire dans la presse (articles du Monde par ex).
Je vous tiens au courant.
Si Israël me ferme ses portes j'y passerai juste 3 mois en volontaire puis j'irai en Argentine comme j'ai prévu de le faire ensuite de toute façon.

Salut Nicodème75,
je risque de suivre tes pérégrinations de près puisque je suis à la recherche des mêmes renseignements que toi... Je voudrais partir là-bas pour une durée variable (en fonction de ce que je trouverai) mais a priori je me donne entre 6 mois et 2 ans sur place. A ta différence, je pense plutôt intégrer un cursus universitaire (ce qui a l'air, a priori, beaucoup plus facile!).
Comme toi je me suis cassé le nez sur la porte de l'ambassade! Tous les renseignements du genre de ceux qu'on cherche ne se donnent que par téléphone. Difficile également d'obtenir des infos de la part de l'Agence juive quand on n'est pas juif, mais je réessayerai...
Pour apprendre l'hébreu tu a les Oulpanim (pluriel de oulpan) mais tu peux aussi te renseigner auprès de l'Inalco à Paris pour l'apprendre en France d'après des infos que je viens de glaner à droite à gauche sur la toile. Je vais donc essayer cette piste-là. Concernant les Oulpanim tu en as dans les kibboutzim et tu peux en trouver la liste auprès de l'office de tourisme de la ville dans laquelle tu te trouves.
En gros pour le boulot, et d'après ce que dit mon guide de voyage (j'y ai fait une première virée cet été en tant que touriste), pour travailler là-bas tu dois obtenir un permis délivré par le ministère de l'Intérieur mais qui semble difficile à obtenir. Sinon il faut s'adresser aux guesthouses ou aux restos mais là, il s'agit plus souvent de travail illégal, donc à toi de voir... et le plus facile paraît effectivement de se faire embaucher à distance (c'est là que tu as intérêt à développer ton réseau!!!). Sinon tu peux toujours surveiller les petites annonces du Jerusalem Post ou de Ha'aretz. Ou encore faire du bénévolat. Pour ça, j'ai un lien, ça s'appelle Sar-el :
http://www.upisarel.org/presentation.php
il s'agit de programmes permettant de travailler comme bénévole dans les bases de Tsahal ou dans les hôpitaux... Mais je sais qu'il y en a d'autres, peut-être pour des fouilles archéologiques, ou encore à Bethléem auprès d'étudiants palestiniens (cours ou maintenance informatique). Pour Bethléem, dis-moi si ça t'intéresse, je peux te filer plus d'infos.
Bref, je crois que j'ai dit plus ou moins tout ce que je sais pour l'instant... Tout complément d'informations sera bienvenu, notamment pour ce qui concerne tout ce qui est écoles d'art, de graphisme ou de photo à Tel Aviv, ou encore des programmes de perfectionnement de l'anglais (toujours à Tel Aviv ou environs). Tout moyen de partir avec un visa étudiant est bon à prendre pour moi (sachant que je ne suis pas étudiante en France).
A bientôt et bonne chance !

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’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! 🥺🏻
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[;)!!!]
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🤪!

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

Has anyone gone on a language study trip in Europe? If so, which agencies did you use? What can you tell me about it? Thanks a lot! Kelkune

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!^^
