ben si tu es resident... Pas beaucoup de choix en dehors des job payes 250pesos cubanos....! sinon lances toi dans lartisanat et vends aux touristes (je sais pas moi, t as pas des talents de peintre ou autre?)! monte une petite agence de voyage, mais biensure, faudra rester discret... Si, un truc, cest de voir avec les entreprises etrangeres, parfois elles prennents des etrangers residents au meme tarif qu un cubain, mais avec un petit complement en cuc... Ca doit biensure ne pas se savoir... Mais ca se fait parfois...
dis moi, combien de temps pour obtenir la residence? c est complique? c est cher?

Merci, mais peux tu me donner plus d'infos... Car je pense faire la demande dans un an environ, faut que je m'organise... T'inquietes pas, je suis avec mon cubain depuis 9ans, dont 7 de marié... Mon mari a le droit de vivre en france, (meme sans moi)... Mais depuis plusieurs années nous sommes revenus à Cuba. Pour l instant je viens avec un visa familial, comme mon mari a le PRE, j'ai le droit de rester jusqu'a 11 mois. De toutefacon, nous allons en france une fois par an, en vacances...
Donc peux tu me dire les grandes étapes, les papiers qu'on te demande et surtout te donne t'on une idée de tes droits? Par exemple, on peut amener un container de trucs perso je crois, ect. Et combien te coute les papiers... Tu dis cher, mais c'est quoi cher?? Et long....
Merci de tes infos...
Au fait, tu as vraiment besoin de bosser à Cuba? Tu as trouvé une idée ou pas???
Bonjour Syrius si je comprend bien tu vis a cuba si oui tu vis dans quel coin et comment tu fais pour vivre tu es riche? moi j'ai besoin de bosser , mon epouse a 2 enfants et je dois faire vivre la famille et en plus j'ai un enfant de 11 ans ici au canada que je dois faire vivre aussi alors je dois bosser oui c'est certain et a cuba ...pas facile faire des sous legalement et illegalement j'ai peur de me retrouver en prison ..enfin , pour la residence je suis allé au consul de cuba ici au canada et il m'ont demandé de preparer tous les papiers que tu fait traduire en espagnole , te dire tous les documents ce serait complique je m'en souvien pas trop et puis il vont te dire au consul mieux que moi et chaque document que tu dois traduire en espagnole par une personne qualifié coute 160.oo$ canadien et ensuite tu dois les faire assermenter au consul le tout m'a couté 3, 000$ canadien et calcule environ 1 an pour finaliser le tout peut etre plus , dependamment de chaque cas..alors te gene pas si je peux t'etre utile . Réjean
j'ai oublie de te dire que j'ai les droits comme les cubains pour ce qui es d'un container je ne peux apporter rien, j'ai voulu apporter mon auto et il n'ont pas voulu j'ai esseyé de m'acheter un auto la-bas impossible non plus en tout cas ce serait tres long faut faire una solicitud et...j'ai desespéré pour l, auto , 😕comme les cubains disent a cuba No es facil! a certains niveaux c'est vrai ca prend beaucoup de patience..Réjean
Salut
Merci de ta réponse.... 1 an! Waou, faut que je commence à me bouger alors!! Non, je ne suis pas riche, alors jusque maintenant je travaillais entre 4-6 mois reparti sur l'année... Maintenant, je penser arréter completement d'ici un an et donc demander la résidence. Pour vivre, et bien d'abord nous avons tres peu de besoins... Et nous n'avons pas d'enfants, et ca n'est pas prevu. Je compte me trouver un boulot sur place, j'ai plein d'idées... Entre autre, ma préference serait de travailler dans le tourisme equestre. Pour cela, je n'hesiterais pas à allez taper aux portes, en particulier des plus importantes... (Comme par exemple allez directe chez Flora y Fauna, dont le boss est Le commandant Guillermo Garcia Fria...). Au pire, il refuse... Et tanpis! mais c'est comme au loto! 100% des gagnants on tenté leur chance. Sinon, comme je te l'ai dit, je pense que dans le tourisme, il y a des choses à faire. Je ne sais pas ou tu es? (Moi c'est Trinidad). Il y a des 10aine de sites de reservation de casa par internet, qui fonction à la commission pour la plus part (meme ceux qui s'en defendent... Facil à voir, toutes les personnes ont des adresses chez le meme fournisseur d'acces... La resa passe bien par la meme personne et elle rammasse la commission). Personnellement, je n'ai absolument rien contre se systeme si c'est fait correctement, c'est le principe de base de l'agence de voyage! Et même si ca n'est pas "légal", je ne pense pas que ce genre de choses t'amenes en prison! De meme que vendre de l'artisanat, ect... (d'ailleurs, il y a des patentes pour ca). Sinon, repense à ce que je t'ai dit à propose des entreprises entrangeres qui embauchent des étrangers avec la résidence et qui peuvent donner un petit complement en CUC. Maintenant, c'est pas avec ca que tu vas entretenir un enfant au canada! La, je te parlais de petits boulots pour arrondir les fins de mois... Difficile de trouver un job à cuba qui te permette de faire ca, mais c'est pas une surprise pour toi j'espere? Nous, on s'est d'abord garanti le minimum vital pour manger: On a un petit appart en france qu'on loue. Avec 300 euros/mois environ, on a le minimum garanti! le reste, si on y arrive (y a bien une de mes 2000 idées qui va marcher!!!!) et bien ca sera pour les extras! Voilà! Je te souhaite bon courage. Pour le container, ben ca c'est bete... J'étais persuadée qu'on pouvait en amener un...

😉 Merci Syrius, c, est très gentil de ta part, une vraie cubaine!Dis-moi je suis très intrigué à savoir comment tu as accès a internet car je sais que d, avoir internet à la maison c, est p..oo...ss..ible mais j, ai vu ça 1 fois l, été dernier, ce qui m, a confirmé la possibilitée, mais sinon, c, est Etecsa et c, est quand même assez cher, enfin c, est un détail...Je suis en hotellerie , présentement je suis gerant d, un resto a l'intérieur de l, université de montréal et je dirige une équipe de 10 employées , alors ce qui se rapproche le plus de ce domaine ce serait dans le tourisme , j, ai envoyé mon CV a toutes les compagnies canadiennes comme , varaplaya nolitours etc..sauf qu, il y a une file très longue de gens qui recherchent cette emploi dû au climat frigorifique du canada où il fait froid presque 9 mois par année sinon j, ai construit ma maison à Amancio Rodriguez petit village perdue dans la province de Las Tunas mais je l, ai construite car je ne veux pas vivre là ce qui fait que où je trouverai un emploi importe où que ce soit à Cuba je déménagerai près du travail, certe mon premier choix serait a la playa del este , Guanabo, entre autre, car c'est situé dans une zone touristique donc plus de possibilitées de faire des sous et en plus a 1/2 heure de la Habana ma ville préférée, alors j, apprécie beaucoup les discussions avec toi merci encore .Réjean
He he he... J'ai internet car... Je ne suis pas à Cuba, je repars demain pour Cuba!!!! J'étais venue travailler un peu... Il faut des $$ pour renovée la maison! Sinon, à Cuba, je vais au centre Etecsa ou au cyber café (à Trinidad il y en a plusieurs). Si tu as le telephone chez toi (ce qui n'est pas possible pour nous car le reseau telephonique à Trinidad est saturé...), tu pourras demander internet mais je ne sais pas le prix... C'est surement cher, mais ca va peut etre s'ameliorer dans les prochaines années... Si tu es dans la restauration/tourisme, tu va surement trouver un truc! Bon courage!

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.

You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

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[;)!!!]

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?

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!^^
