I am 24 years old. I live in Tehran, Iran. I want to immigrate to Belgium. I know French and English. I love to work on my job field there: Logistic, commercial afairs. I have relatives in Brussels. I want to know if I can apply for immigration through changing my religion. Does this work in Belgium or I have to choose another way? Except for the employees who benefit from the deviation provided for in art. 9 of the Royal Decree of 09/06/1999, the granting of an employment permit and of a work permit type B is restricted to the countries that are bound to Belgium through international treaties or conventions on the occupation of employees. The countries referred to in art. 10 of the Royal Decree are: Algeria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Morocco, Serbia, Tunisia, Turkey, and the 10 new member states of the European Union (Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Rumania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic). A governmental site says. So I can not apply for a work permit visa :( Except for the employees who benefit from the deviation provided for in art. 9 of the Royal Decree of 09/06/1999, the granting of an employment permit and of a work permit type B is restricted to the countries that are bound to Belgium through international treaties or conventions on the occupation of employees.

there's no need to change your religion migrating to Europe!! apply for a working permit first, Before going there. it would help if you already had a job offer there (may throu relatives) i'm sure they have plenty of information on the Belgian government websites good luck!!

These are the immigration laws for Belgium: http://pubweb.fdbl.com/ihp8/global/media85.nsf/public-country-briefs/belgium?opendocument You do not have to change your religion. There are many Muslims in Belgium. However finding work would be very difficult , especially at the moment when there are so many unemployed people. You would have to apply from your country and be sponsored by a Belgian employer who would have to justify employing you because you have special skills which people already in Belgium cannot offer. In your case it might be justified as an opening to enable the firm to trade with Iran, but finding such a firm is not very likely at the moment. PS. If you did find a firm wishing to export to Iran (perhaps with the help of your relatives who live in Brussels), your logistic and commercial experience and your knowledge of Iranian customs and language might allow you to get a permit B. Work Permit B: Work Permit B requires employer sponsorship and the sponsoring employer must file the application. Work Permit B is valid only for employment with the sponsoring employer in the job indicated in the application and is valid for 12 months with annual renewals possible. Normally, Work Permit B is issued only when there is a shortage of Belgian workers for the sector or specialization concerned, unless the foreign national is highly skilled or has management functions. Changing your religion would make no difference. Belgium is a secular state like Turkey and people's religion is not taken into account when they apply for a job or a visa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Belgium

Changing religion has nothing to do with legal immigration. It's all about seeking asylum in western or more developed states. Frankly speaking your specifications are not meeting the requirements of a legal work permit. The only thing that remains is... Sorry I am not giving you illegal advices, however you know what I mean if u are wise! I wish u luck baby! :-)
