Hey all. I got a job offer from a big multinational here but they havent said anything about the single permit or sponsorship yet even though they know I am not from the EU!! Is this normal or am I just dreaming about a fake job??
waterloo_chicHow do I get a job in Belgium?
waterloo_chicAccepted answer
sunny_days_be3You need an employer to sponsor you for that single permit since non-EU folks cant just get a visa without a specific job offer, though if you are from the EU or Switzerland you are good to go. For Brussels and Wallonia you have to use that Working in Belgium website now, and just be ready because the wait can take anywhere from 4 months to half a year

Newbie_In_NamurInfo is helpful, i am still trying to figure out the bus schedules here
belgian_skepticI have found that LinkedIn works way better for finding actual decent roles than using the VDAB
vibes_only_beMade the mistake of saying i would do any kind of work and it totally backfired (it looked desperate) ...
design_eye_antwerpIt is very hard to find junior roles right now ! the competition is insane
wafflelover882Just dont try to start working before you have a real Belgian bank account or a registered adress... it is illegal and both you and the boss could get huge fines
