Hi all,

Newbie on the Belgium forum? Don't know how to start?

This thread is for you ;)

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country,
or to tell us more on your expat projects in Belgium if you are planning to move there.

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Welcome on board!

Hello and welcome !


You need to find an employer first as to obtain a work permit/visa, you will be required to show a job contract.


I suggest that you read the Living in Belgium guide for expats, in particular, articles about work.
