HELLO everybody , i want to know if there are some good places or sites to find some good jobs with average saleries for a foreign student at Bruxelles ,


thank you ;)

Best bet for a foreign student looking for some extra cash would be barwork.
How old are you, what's you level of Dutch/French (if any) and what can you do (Jobs skils)
Also if you are studying a subject that is in demand it might help you to get a foot in the door in the field you wish to work in later.

That is for vakantiewerk (holiday work) but a lot of students supplement their income doing part time jobs on the weekends (Mainly in bars where the tax and legal situation is, shall we say more relaxed than many other jobs)
And there is always festival work in the summer doing security, concession stands, car park duty and so on..

Well my BF who is a Belgium Student. Is eaither allowed to work 2 months in the summer or one month in summer and 30days split over the year or 2 months split over the year.

Indeed,you are correct there.
My girlfriend works her 2 months in the holidays but she also does some casual/part time work on weekends during the year. If you are controlled while working the consequences can be serious but a very high % of students do it off the books, (mainly as waiters)

An EU national CANNOT BE DEPORTED unless they are a threat to national security or express some views so outrageous that your views are in complete contrast to undermine the values of the country.

If you're noted for tax purposes as an ordinary individual who also studies after work, then you can work as many hours as the EU working hours directive allows you.
