Work permit in Belgium
Citizens from the European Union don’t require work permits to seek employment in Belgium. However, non – EU citizens must obtain a work permit, usually applied for by the potential employer, in order to be entitled legally to work in the country.
Belgian authorities usually require a work permit or another type of evidence to prove the fact that the employer has applied for one on behalf of the employee, before the respective person can apply for a residence permit or for a long – stay visa.
