What is the easiest way to do it. I'm only 18 years old. I feel like the best way would be just to go there and look for a job for three months. What someone needs to do is find someone to hire them and then the employer would have to apply for you to get a Visa so you can work for them.(That much I know) Is this considered to be very inconvienent for employers? Especially to be doing it for someone who is only 18 with not much work experience? I feel like they have plenty of people like me excep that they are legal already and that they can hire that they wouldn't have to apply for a work permit for.. It's too late for me to get a student visa now and I am trying to think of any possible way of legally living in Belgium for a year... Any advice?

Sorry, but I don't have any good advice for you. Your employer in Belgium must request an employer permit and a work permit (permis de travail B/ arbeidskaart B) from the relevant sub-regional employment service depending on where the company's head office is established (VDAB, FOREM or ACTIRIS). Apart from certain exceptions (e.g. highly qualified staff, researchers, trainees or au pairs), employer permits are only issued if there are no workers or not enough workers on the Belgian labour market for the sector in question due to its specific characteristics and if there is an international agreement. Nationals from countries in the European Economic Area do not have to have a work permit. Based on the above facts vacancies are filled by the Belgium and European workforce without administrative burdens. Non-EU citizen only have a chance if they are highly qualified in an area of high demands. At the current economical situation there are none..
