Hi members,

I would like to ask if it's possible for me to get a job and live in Belgium, either temporarily or permanently.
I am currently living in Manila,PH and just started a career; yet I wanted to try out living outside Philippine vicinity.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Well anything is possible. But what do you want to do? I am guessing you're not an EU national so you'll need a work permit, which means any company interested in employing you have to prove there is no-one in Belgium who could do a specific job, rather hard to prove with unemployment so high here.
