Thanks Aneeshks for the links.
It is very informative.
Few more questions, need your help please.

1. As you mentioned that Visa is just to enter the European countries and then you will get resident permit. So do I need to apply for the RP separately or automatically company/Gov will provide due long term stay with unlimited contract ?

2. If I'll call my wife in Belgium, how much time this process would take?

3. Do you have idea of some cheaper flats outside the Brussels city?
To be more precise, in 10 km diameter of Schaerbeek.

Once again, Many Thanks.

Best Regards,
Rubab
