nope u can live here in europe but i dnt think they will give you a working permit unless your bf has his own business and he will give you a job .....

I only know the rules for the Netherlands and not Belgium and although they should be similar there are still differences between immigration policies of countries within the EU, but I could be wrong so it is best to check officially. The added instance in your case is that you are already resident in Belgium and not applying from your native country. Your Hungarian partner has the same+ rights (under EU law) as a Belgian national and hence if you are married (or in the Netherlands 'samenwonen" (registered living together officially) then you are able to obtain a residencial permit to live and work under "family re-unification" .He will have to provide profile that he can cover your expenses (as the state understandbly will not cover you for benefits bringing over a foreign national) so have to have proof of an address, financial capability, etc In the Netherlands, similar to Belgium, gay marriage is permitted under law and partners receive the same rights as same-sex marriages. If I were you, I would check it officially with the immigration department for your specific case (the link is in English as I wasn't sure if you read Dutch/French) http://www.diplomatie.be/en/travel/visa/visumNodig.asp I did try to check, but there is no option for a foreign national already resident in Belgium. There is a contact form on the site.

Why don't you check this out at "hotel de ville"or "maison communale". They are competent in answering all your questions. You will eventually have to go there to post the bans anyway. In some cases you can even take on your partners nationality. Each case is different as it depends on the nationality of the people involved. For getting a work permit it is, I guess, the same procedure. So, I would suggest you go to the source (see above) or, eventually, to the Ministère du Travail, Ministère des Affaires Etrangères or your own embassy> Good luck to you.

you can apply for job there through internet with the help of some job portal like naukri.com etc....and then apply for visa...u can easily get the visa processed if once u get job offer from there....

You did not say where you live. For a number of countries like Japan, it's not hard, If you live in the Philippines, it's a bit harder (I know because I live in the PI). Depending on your education and specialty, you might find it easy, especially if you work for the government in foreign affairs. For a common job, you'd better go to one of the labor contractors in your country.

At the risk of disappointing you I would like to paint the REAL picture. At this moment in time it is extremely difficult to get a work permit in the European Union for nationals who are not citizens from one of the member states. The police strictly controls any workplace and illegals are immediately deported and the employer who gave them work is fined high amounts. At this moment from your country there are a lot of young girls who come in (or are brought in by shady characters) on tourist visa (valid 3 to 6 months) and who are promised work as nannies and babysitters. However the reality can be quite different. So I really do not see many possibilities for you unless you would have a very very specialized carreer.

Sorry forget it for a job here.

In the near future,I will have the chance to go and work in Belgium,in some town. Are the living conditions good there? Can many people speak english,like in Holland?

The living conditions are pretty high. But the prizes too. For example: when you want to rent a house in a small town somewhere, it's fast 500 euros a month. Belgium is actually famous for the high level of languages students get at school. (But don't take me as an example of the contrary since I only had one year of English; still in school, you know ^^ ) But normally people in your environment should be able to speak English. In Flanders more people will be able to speak proper English than in the French speaking part of Belgium though. About public transportation: we have trains, trams, buses. No problem with that. We're situated in the middle of Europe, so you can be in Paris in a few hours, in London in less than 2 hours and in Rotterdam or Amsterdam even quicker. About your last question; normally people are nice. Also to foreign workers. But in some areas of a big city, there is a minority of people who don't like to see people of "certain" countries coming... It's a delicate situation. I hope you get what I mean: Belgium has a lot of refugees asking for asylum. And some people don't like to see 'them' coming. But I think you're a native English speaker, so no worries. I hope I helped. x

Julie has given an excellent info capsule but for more info it would help if you would specify if "some town" means Putte Kapelle or that you plan to live in the Avenue P.H. Spaak in Brussel. Discrimination: not against expats, certainly against immigrants from arab origin and asylum seekers, illegal immigrants "sans papiers" etc.
