Dearest,

I am a Belgium (EU) citizen.

My girlfriend is Lithouanian (EU) citizen working for the European commissian and we are thinking on immigrating to La Reunion in a few years.

She will be keeping her job to continue on Reunion.


We don't speak very fluent French.

But both perfect English.

Is this good for immigrating then?


Also regarding myself. To ask if there are possibilities for work offers/openings in IT to find?


Thanks and kind regards,


Nico

I would suggest using the "few years" you mention to brush up your French and make it more fluent.

It won't be easy to get a job here without speaking fluent French, although of couse you could work remotely.

Hi @nicobase, I work remotly from reunion , the broadband here is great. There are alot of options out there in terms of fully remote IT jobs. Because my work is through English my very bad French isn't a blocker for me. In terms of day to day life people here are very patient and friendly, even when you speak less French than a 3 year old 1f633.svg. Also, because there is generally less English spoken down here you learn French quicker.

This is indeed always a good idea off-course.

I did have French in school. And will get it back in short time for sure.


Thanks very much,

Sounds great Gerryof,


Is there a way to find job openings in the IT for La Reunion?


Can we maybe PM if you are ok with this?
