Go to the hospital ask a doctor on staff.
2 :
this is very difficult because we have the so called Numerus Clausus that means that there is a limited number of jobs as a doctor per year and students are privileged. Even so, many students are sent away by the university because they are too many on very few jobs, so only the best ones can succeed. You'd rather try your luck elsewhere, in Belgium is hell difficult to get a job as a doctor.
3 :
It's by the RIZIV. Most of the doctors fear that organisation even when the RIZIV do so many faults.
4 :
First thing that came into mind is the Order of Doctors. Every doctor has to be registered with that order. Checked the site: only in French in Dutch. It only has the requirements for doctors inside the EER+Switzerland. but since you aren't from Europe the requirements of documents are different for each country/ It's best to contact the order: http://www.ordomedic.be/nl/contact-formulier/ (First Name/Family Name/email/subject/message Verzenden=Send) If you don't get any reaction, try the Department of Health: info@health.fgov.be

When will I be able to work after marriage in Belgium
When will I be able to work after marriage in Belgium?
My better half is Belgian and prefers that we settle in Belgium after marriage bc of his job. I'm a microbiologist and the embassy informed me that I wont be able to work for an undefinite time. Im worried I'll be redundant in Belgium after some years. Besides that, I am asian and my biggest fear is racism and how the locals would accept the presence foreigners as myself as I have no choice in this situation.

Once married, you should have no problem in being allowed to work. Racism, Belgians are pretty open, do not forget it's quite a small country, so lot's of foreigners and intercations with other countries
2 :
I think that after you get married and apply for a working permission you'll only have to wait for a couple of months until you get it and can start working. It's only a matter of a couple of months or so, not years. But whether you'll be able to work as a microbiologist in Belgium probably depends on where you got your education. The EU doesn't recognize education from certain countries or schools that have different standards than the EU.
3 :
the fact that you have a specific field of expertise should make that the bigger companies in your line of work normally have a siege here in Belgium. a lot of universities also have jobs in very specific research area. R&D is being promoted a lot here so it wouldn't be so hard. If your paperwork is all fine, you actually could start applying for jobs from the second you get settled even if you're not yet married. You just have to get a permit to work. Anyways if you already want to look for jobs here are some sites: http://www.jobat.be http://www.vacature.be http://www.vdab.be About the racism: well not everybody is equally open minded, I was born in belgium, but I'm not a belgian. So I've had my share of petty jokes and nasty remarks. But if you're an open person and outgoing you'll make friends very easily. The sooner you'll work the easier you'll get accepted, even by the more narrowminded jerks. Good luck on your search & congratulations.

There is work for bricklayers. If your skill is good enough you will find work not knowing the language too. Money starts at around 12Euro/hr for lowest grade up to 22Euro/hr for the highest grade, if you have the right papers (diplomas) you will be paid according to your diploma. Alternatively you will have to work through the grades. It is the employers responsibility to kit you out with work trousers and steel toe boots or hard hat if needed. There is a bonus system in the building trade here in Belgium altough I am not sure in how far it covers temping agencies work. I can only speak from someone that has a permanent job. There is 'ancienniteit', like a loyalty bonus for stayin with the same firm, goes up every year. Another is stamps for 'weerverlet', a scheme that pays once a year for money lost due to adverse weather conditions. You also get holiday money. You get paid dole money for the days when there is no work due to bad weather. You have to fill in a card which indicates wether you have worked that day or not. But be careful cause it is under-taxed and the more dole you get, the more you might have to pay in back taxes. Same for the bonusses, they are not taxed at source so will be taxed at the end of the year. There are a few good firms but most have not so nice working conditions with very early starts and late finishes. You could work via agencies to start with and find a decent firm that will offer you a permanent contract if you are lucky. Also bear in mind that building a house UK style or building a house BE style is different so you will need time to adjust to the way they do things.
