As you do not state your nationality, it has to be assumed you are not a national from an EU country.That being the case, you would have to find a Belgian company willing to offer you a job, providing of course there is no suitable EU national for that position as EU employers MUST prove said position beyond doubt. Should you be fortunate enough to secure a position the employer will apply for your work permit, and before a permit is granted, the employer must prove that no Belgian or European Union citizen is able to do the job. A C permits are normally only issued to the following categories of applicant: the spouse of an A permit holder, the non-EU spouse of a Belgian national, the non-EU spouse of an EU national legally resident in Belgium, and any foreigner with five years' uninterrupted (legal) residency in Belgium. NB A Belgian work permit is employer specific, and working for another Belgian company would not be legal unless and until a new application had been made by the new employer and approved by the authorities. Once you have overcome the work permit issue, you will need as a Non EU-national to register with your local commune within eight days of your arrival in Belgium, even if you are living in temporary accommodation. A residence visa is required to qualify for a temporary residence permit. Within two weeks of moving to a permanent residence, an application must be submitted to obtain a foreigner identity card and to be officially registered in the foreign population register. To apply for your identity card, whether you're an EU national or not, you and family members over the age of 21 must go to the town hall in person to register. Children under the age of 12 will be issued a 'name card', while children between the ages of 12 and 15 can apply for a child's card or an adult identity card. Foreigner identity cards are renewable every year, and you must apply for a new card within eight days of moving to a permanent residence.
