et oui encore une nana (c'est moi ) qui se posent trop de question !!!!!😛
voilà,
mon homme a une poposition d'emploi en tant qu'expat à Libreville.... donc cela comprend comme vous le savez voiture, logement, billet d'avion, ainsi que l'école et le collége pour nos 2 petits monstoux ( 12 ans et 6 ans).😕
ce qui me pose problème c'est de savoir si avec 3000€ on va vivre vraiment bien !!!!!!!!!!! pas vraiment envi d'aller au bout du monde pour compter toutes les fins de mois !!! 😏😏😏
cela peut parraître indécent par apport au train de vie des gabonnais mais bon !!!!!! nous veut bien mais on veut pouvoir faires sortis, resto, .... et tout et tout....
Donc voilà, nous avons trés envi de partir mias ce coté pécunier me retient un peu quand même.
de plus mon fils a besoin d'un orthodentiste. appareillé depuis 2 ans déjà et encore pas mal d'année en perspectives !!!!! 😕
j'attend de vos nouvelles
merci bcp

Oui avec 3000euros vous avez de quoi vous en sortir quand meme, à moins d'aller flamber tous les jours 😉
Pour les écoles, il y a le lycée français et le collège Immaculée Conception (de la 6e à la 3e) tous deux de bonne réputation. Pour les petits il y a de bonnes écoles maternelles/primaires par ex Gros Bouquet 1 et 2...
Une bonne dentiste, Meme Odile Fouchet, Immeuble les Frangipaniers sur le bord de mer. En général en expat il y a de bonnes assurances qui fonctionnent avec la cfe, parfois qui remboursent à 100%, (voir pour l'avancement des frais ou pas, je crois sous certaines conditions c possible mais je ne suis pas sure).
Pour les sorties, grand choix de restos! Ballades au Cap Estérias, Santa Clara, La Pointe Denis, Lambaréné pour le plus près et facile d'accès...
mais quand vous dites "Oui avec 3000euros vous avez de quoi vous en sortir quand meme" le quand même veut dire que nous allons devoir faire attention ou juste ne pas flamber en "porsche" "ferrari" et " tour de la ville en rolls avec chauffeur" parce ce que si juste ne pas flamber ça va aller !!!!!
maintenant faire attention là c'est plus trés cool
je prend note de l'orhodentiste pour mon filston
merci

juste une question pratique........ la socièté qui souhaite employer mon mari est Gabonnaise.
il annonce un salaire brut et nous voudrions savoir de combien sont les charges à déduire pour obtenir un "net".🤪
ceux ne sont que des questions bassement matérielles mais tellement importantes !!!!!!😊
libreville est en bord de mer mais peut on réellement se baigner ( port ??? ou plage ???)😛
Peut on se baigner toute l'année ??😏
ah au fait nous avons également deux chats quels sont les obligations sanitaires pour les ammener avec nous ?? ( vaccins et durée de la quarantaine ??)🏴☠️🏴☠️
merci de vos réponses😉

Mais dis moi si c'est une société gabonaise qui emploie es tu sûre que ce ne soit pas un contrat local ? Car ce n'est pas du tout la même chose...Si c'est le cas il faut bien faire apparaitre tout les termes sur le contrat et soyez vigilents là dessus. Pour ce qui est des impots ce doit etre différents d'un contrat expat également...voici un lien : www.missioneco.org/Gabon/ Pour les charges d'un contrat local, je ne sais pas à vrai dire, essayez au préalable d'en savoir plus à ce sujet avec l'entreprise...
Pour les chats, à moins que ça soit changé il n'y a pas de quarantaine, il faut les vaccinations antirabiques, et le passeport international de chaque animal établi qqs jours avant le départ donc renseignez vous avec un véto pour bien tout savoir. A Libreville il y a Meme Berthonneau, très bonne véto, car pour ramener vos chats sur la France ensuite il faudra leur faire faire une sérologie de la rage.
Oui on peut se baigner, surtout au Cap esterias et Santa clara qui sont plus agréables comme plages, c'est en dehors de Libreville. Evitez à la saison des méduses, je ne sais plus très bien mais je crois que c'est à la saison sèche... Sinon vous avez de belles piscines au Méridien, et au Club Saoti.
Mon cheri part avec les memes conditions.
C'est une tres grosse boite gabonaise. Mais avec un contrat d'expat'
C'est le groupe de distribution Ceka Gadis
Les français vivent comme des pacha au Gabon. Si vous avez un contrat expatrié ce sera le pied. verifiez si votre époux est logé et vehiculé par la société en dehors de son salaire car les logement dans les quartier luxueux europeens peuvent couter cher. l'achat du vehicule sur place aussi à moins d'en acheter en france et de l'expedié. Pour le reste vous aurez un bon confort et vos enfants aussi. medecins et cabinet, assurances françaises, banques filiales credit agricole(ugb) et bnp (bicig et paribas) piscines, plage, maternelles, collège et lycée, alimentation, veto tout y a toujours été bien fait pour que les français se sentent bien au Gabon. donnez moi des précisions sur la compagnie: le nom pour une meilleur idée.

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
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
