Bonjour,
Petite question : connaissez vous bien le Maroc ? pour envisager de vous y installer avec une fille de 12 ans (en 2010) y a t il des établissements scolaires francophones pres de votre lieu de vie ??
Comme dirait Raoulx : Ce sujet a été maintes fois traité sur le forum, en cherchant un peu vous trouverez des tonnes de renseignements sur cette démarche qui ne doit pas être prise à la légère comme on a eu l'occasion de constater içi. Sinon quand tout est tres bien préparé et que l'on connait bien le pays pour s'y installer ; la vie y est tres tres agréable, j'en parle en connaisance de cause. Philippe

Bonjour,
J'ai toujours dans mes cartons un projet de résidence services au Maroc. Services en commun mais totale autonomie pour chacun! Deux premieres tentatives ont échoué. Il est difficile de trouver des partenaires sérieux et vraiment prêts a s'engager. Je relance des contacts dans les prochaines semaines. Ce ne sera plus nécessairement à Agadir, mais il y a d'autres coins qui méritent un intéret. Si vous êtes intéressés vous pouvez me contacter par message privé.
Michel
Re bonjour,
La partie administrative c'est une chose et en s'y préparant à l'avance comme vous le faites cela ne doit poser aucun probleme,
mais je peux vous assurer que l'on ne connait rien, absolument rien du Maroc en y ayant passé un mois de vacances en ....1977.....
Conseil deja donné içi : venez y vivre des mois, une année entière si possible c'est encore mieux pour savoir si vous vous y plairez, si le climat vous ira, si le contact avec la population locale vous conviendra, si votre fille s'adaptera à ce nouvel environnement..... etc.....

je me permet d'ajouter quitter son pays, ses amis, ça famille, ses racines tout ça juste pour éviter de payer des impots, est-ce que ça en vaux vraiment la peine ?

Bonjour,
Nous allons y aller cette année pour les vacances.
De part mon ex profession, j'ai déjà quitté comme vous me le dites 'famille amis ext' pour de longues périodes (5 ans maxi) mais bien sur en France(environs 1000kms de mon entourage habituel)et nous n'avons pas eus trop de difficultés!
Ne pensez surtout pas que ç'est pour ne pas payer d'impôts que nous nous expatrions? bien sûr cela aidera !
Nous allons toujours dans ces contrées en vacances et ce depuis plusieurs années.Nous adorons le soleil et la mer.Ma retraite d'ex employé plus celle de commerçant ne me permettrait pas de vivre déssament dans notre beau pays;1000 à 1200 €🙁 au total ? Merci de votre franchise

Bonjour,
Il n'est pas évident qu'avec ce montant de retraite il soit beaucoup plus interessant de vivre au Maroc, avec tous les frais supplémentaires à payer ! et toutes les allocations en moins. Ce n'est pas parceque les légumes sont moins chers, que c'est un paradis financier ! surtout avec un enfant scolarisé !

Bonjour Jacky !
Je suis très content de vous connaître, je suis un jeune père d’une petite fille 2 ans, chauffeur d’un petit Taxi d’Agadir, je suis très heureux de vous aider, est-ce que vous avez choisi votre futur logement ?, sur les alentours ou sur la ville d’Agadir ?, le lycée français est bien sur la ville d’Agadir pour votre fille ! ; les formalités administratives je vous les prend de mon père anciens retraité de France, je suis là aussi c’est vous avez besoin des informations de la wilaya de la surete national ou de la préfecture ou de la banque … abdollah gsm :068324833 e_mail :hotmail102@hotmail.com
Abdollah,
à 10 ou 12 ans on ne va pas au lycée, meme au Maroc......mais à l'école primaire puis au college,
les formalités administratives seul "Jacky" peut les faire, elles sont deja assez compliquées comme cela au Maroc sans avoir à passer par un intermédiaire (gratuitement ????) faire des procurations en 2 ou 3 exemplaires légalisées ???
des milliers d'européens ont fait eux même leurs dossiers pour s'installer au Maroc ; en prenant son temps et avec beaucoup de patience et de calme (dans les files d'attente) on y arrive seul, "Jacky" y arrivera comme les autres je ne pense pas qu'il ait besoin d'être assisté, il a juste demandé des renseignements sur ce forum....
En quoi a t on besoin d'informations "de la Wilaya, sureté nationale ou de la préfecture" (tiens je croyais que la Wilaya c'etait justement la préfecture???) pour s'installer dans ce pays ???
La demande de carte de séjour est le plus important et je peux vous assurer qu'il vaut mieux faire soi même les démarches que de passer par un intermédiaire, ma femme vient d'avoir sa carte aujourd'hui meme apres 4 mois d'attente et passages tous les mois au bureau pour faire "tamponner" sa carte de demande ....
Pour la banque idem; vous allez ouvrir un compte en dirhams convertibles pour Jacky, à sa place??? c'est vraiment sympa mais je ne crois pas que la banque accepte un intermédiaire pour ce type de démarche;
vos offres d'aide partent certainement d'un bon sentiment mais il faut être réaliste : il faut faire soi même toutes les demarches, comme dit précedemment c'est déja assez compliqué comme cela....;
si vous tenez tant à l'aider proposez lui de l'emmener (gratuitement ????) dans votre taxi de bureaux en bureaux...... ca ca lui rendra service
bonjour
il y a deux chose que vous devrai payer très chère pour avoir très peu LA SANTE ET L EDUCATION
les deux parent pauvres pauvre au maroc
ne tomber pas malade et compter pas sur des urgences au vrais thermes ni sur les hopiteau publiques
il faut 2a3h pour avoir une ambulance
pour l éducation nous avons un système qui sert a fabriquer des chômeur
a part cela il y a le soleil travailler doucement le matin et pas trop vite le soir (système de l administration marocaine) ET LES TOMATES ET LES ORANGES SONT PAS CHERES
bienvenue au pays des merveilles

En ayant une enfant de 12 ans à l'époque où tu veux vivre à agadir, il faut oblgatoirement un collège français, sachant que cela va te couter 1500€/an et t'obliger à habiter pas trop loin du collège sinon galère. Et je doute que les prix des loyers ou achat d'appart soit bon marché dans ce quartier.
Je crois qu'il est situé entre marjane et les grands hotels (quartier résidentiel).
De toute façon le mieux c'est d'aller sur place et y vivre quelques temps.

Bonjour Pomcara,
J'arrive un peu a la fumee des cierges, ce sujet ayant ete discute auparavant...mais, pourquoi ne pas louer quelque chose au Maroc pendant 6 mois ou un an, pour vraiment voir si la vie la bas correspond a ce que vous en attendez ? Comme vous n'etes que locataires, vous pouvez toujours repartir a la fin du contrat...ou decider de rester, mais de toutes manieres, vous ne mettez pas tous vos oeufs dans le meme panier, et cela vous donnera le temps de la reflexion. Si vous avez un appart ou une maison en France, vous pouvez egalement la mettre en location, ce qui devrait augmenter vos revenus. Amities Nat

Hi,
I’m leaving on September 4th for Vancouver as a tourist for 6 months.
My boyfriend works there, so I’m going to visit him. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn English at a school during October and November.
Could you recommend any schools—price, activities, location, reputation, etc.?
Also, any good health insurance suggestions?

Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde. I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better. I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone

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.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
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?

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! 😄
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
