Hello,

I am originally from Brazil. I have one year of Bachelor degree to complete still but it's an open education so I do not have to be in my country for it and i can continue.

Last one year I did a traineeship in Belgium. Now I am applying for jobs and I have some offers which might come in my way. Most likely they will offer me open ended contract/CID. But I checked on the government website and it says you need to have bachelors to be in the category of highly skilled worker.

Is there any chance that I can still get a work permit through any other category?

As per government website, Atleast  3 years of tertiary education is required for work permit processing for highly skilled employee
