I’m fully aware of how obscurantist this guy is, claiming to live in Morocco and not Germany.
On the other hand, even though you say I don’t know Morocco, you’re completely mistaken in thinking I’m some tourist who stays in hotels or resorts.
I wasn’t just copying stuff from magazines—it was to show him, in a simple way, the legal articles related to our topic (with text that’s easier to understand than the original, which I can send you if you want).
Besides, I know perfectly well that a large part of the population isn’t even aware of the conditions of this law, and of course, laws don’t change mentalities overnight.
The point of my discussion with this person was to see how far he’d go in his statements and beliefs. The question was whether, based on his definition of a Muslim marriage, the new Moroccan law was Muslim or not in his eyes.
Little remark for you: Don’t assume I’m some tourist visiting Morocco. I know Moroccan society and its intricacies just as well as you do, if not better. I’m not just some tourist, and I’m not there to talk about my own case/situation.
😐 Hey, how's it going? I'm also a Moroccan nurse from Ouarzazate.
I just finished my training at the Health Careers Training Institute.
I don’t know if you have any idea about the recruitment competition organized by the state... anyway, while waiting for a stable government position (which can take one or two years), could you help me find a job in a private clinic in Marrakech? I really need it.
I’m a nurse in France and I’d like to work in Morocco, but I’m originally Moroccan and I know how things work there. I don’t think I’d last long!! 🙁
On the other hand, working with Europeans would be my preference, so if your friend is interested, I’d be ready to drop everything.
For now, his clinic is still under construction—it won’t open before the end of 2008, so we’ll have to wait. Just so you know, it’s for cardiovascular care, and if you contact him, mention that you know Mr. Bouriane, Justine’s father. Marrakech. I don’t know his name; I’m terrible with spelling Moroccan names.
hi
I’m mohamed, I’m Moroccan from the Ouarzazate region
I’ve been an auxiliary nurse for 6 months
I’m unemployed!!!!!!!!
I have to say, being a nurse is tough in Morocco because working conditions aren’t even close to those in France
thanks
In response to Sabrina, I’m a nurse anesthetist, and after working for 3 years in a university hospital, I can tell you that working conditions here in Morocco—especially in healthcare—are unfavorable. In particular, the status of nurses still hasn’t been properly established.
As for the diploma, I don’t think it’ll be recognized for two main reasons: first, because working conditions here are different from those in France, and second, because the Moroccan healthcare system is also different from yours, even if it’s modeled after France’s. Plus, Moroccans who’ve trained in France or elsewhere have been forced to get their diplomas recognized here in Morocco for them to be valid.
When it comes to salary, Moroccan nurses earn 2 to 3 times less than French nurses in the public sector. In the private sector, it’s even worse—you can’t imagine how bad it is—except maybe in Casablanca and Rabat, where private-sector nurses are better paid compared to other cities.
For training, thankfully, there are several high-quality health career institutes in cities like Rabat, Casablanca, Fez, Marrakech, and Agadir that train general nurses and specialists (midwives, anesthesia/resuscitation, radiology technicians, dietitians, etc.) over 3 years, awarding a state diploma.
Hey, I’m a nurse anesthetist in Fez. The state-organized recruitment competition still hasn’t happened because of strikes by the graduates in front of the ministry. They didn’t accept the competition and want to be assigned without it. As for your wish to work in a clinic, I personally think you should look in clinics in Rabat or Casablanca because nurses are well paid there. On the other hand, in other cities, nurses don’t count for much in clinics—they might bring in someone off the street, train them a bit, and then replace you. They’ll treat you however they want, even after you’ve studied for 3 years with all the stress of school and the demanding internships. Do you agree with me or not?
I came across this forum because I’m looking to go work in Morocco as a nurse. I was just wondering if your friend opened their clinic in Marrakech, because I’d be really interested. I’ve been working as a nurse in a visceral surgery clinic for 8 years. I’ll be in Marrakech for a short stay in 10 days, so I’d like to take the opportunity to do some networking.
Thanks in advance!
Coralie
I don’t know Marrakech yet, or even this part of Morocco.
What I’m asking for is a salary that lets me pay for a small apartment, feed myself, cover expenses, and have a little left at the end of the month (so I don’t have to dip into my savings).
I no longer see this person, so I can’t help you anymore.
That said, if you’re working in France as a nurse, stay there.
My daughter’s starting nursing school, my sister’s a nurse, a friend is too, and my advice? You’d have to be crazy or completely out of your mind to want to work in Morocco given the working conditions and salary.
500 € to live in the sun and eat great veggies or live like a local? NO THANKS.
You’ll work and be way more exploited than in France. People complain about France and the cost of living, but the quality of life is in France—that’s why Moroccans all want to come work here. Think about it and get out of your tourist mindset.
I’ve read all the posts, and I’m still a bit shocked that we’re being labeled as lazy, especially by that guy who says his friend wants to open a clinic in Marrakech and hire foreign nurses—even French ones. I’ve seen several reports where retirees or elderly people are mistreated, and I’ve never once seen a Moroccan, Tunisian, or Algerian woman do anything like that. So why does this man want to open a center here in Morocco? For the chance to get qualified but underpaid labor? It’s disgusting to say that the "Moroccan" medical staff isn’t qualified when you should really be asking questions about your own "French" system. There’s a huge shortage of nurses in France simply because the French don’t want to do such exhausting work—just like with call centers and offshoring. Many French products are relocated here because the workforce isn’t just efficient but also turns a blind eye to the 44 HOURS forced on them every week. There’s a 9-hour gap between a French teleoperator handling the same product and a Moroccan one... And according to several surveys, the French are only happy when their French products are handled in other countries instead of France. So get off your backsides and put in those 44 hours a week yourselves!
Hi,
I came across your post by chance and maybe you can help me.
I’d like to go to Marrakech for the end-of-year holidays (more specifically Christmas) to meet up with a friend.
But I’m a wheelchair user and need a nurse’s help in the mornings.
After reading your post, I thought you might be in Marrakech—and even better, a private nurse (do they exist in Morocco?)
Would you have any information that could be useful to me? Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I just read (belatedly!) your question about working as a nurse in Morocco—I’m interested in the same project.
My name’s Charlotte, I’m 46, and I’m a registered nurse (graduated in 1986!).
Have you had any replies or useful info since then? Could you share them with me? That’d be really kind of you.
Thanks so much in advance!!
Hi sis,
I don’t know if you’re still active on this site, but I’m giving it a shot—I wanted to ask if there’s a nursing school in Marrakech. Thanks, and see you soon, Inshallah. Beslama
Hi,
I’m looking for real first-hand experiences from adults who’ve done a language stay in Canada, specifically in Vancouver or Toronto.
There are so many different schools and reviews that are both negative and positive (how can you tell if they’re genuine?!) that I’d rather hear from real people.
I’m looking for fun courses where you really make progress in speaking and comprehension.
+ Homestay accommodation: good or bad idea?
I’m 35—this would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me since I’ve dreamed about it since I was 17!
I really don’t want to mess this up, especially given how much it costs!
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.?
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.
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! 😄
