How much does a Financial Analyst earn in Belgium?
Hi, my husband and I are planning to relocate in Belgium (I'm originally from there), I currently work as an FA (accountant II) and earn pretty good. So, I was wondering how much I'll be making once there? Since the housing is just as much as the East Coast here, shouldn't it be close to what I make now? Thanks!

There's a site here that will allow you to look up average salaries: http://www.vacature.com/salariskompas/ (Dutch version) or http://www.references.be/compasdessalaires/ (French version) The salary will depend on the sector you work in, the amount of experience you have etc... If you want to start looking for a job already then you can look on those sites, or also on http://www.jobat.be/, http://www.monster.be/, http://www.stepstone.be/ or http://vdab.be/ Good luck with the move!

What are some things to see in Belgium
What are some things to see in Belgium?
I'm traveling to Brussels in a few weeks and I have no idea what I want to do there. I'd like to travel to Amsterdam but I'm being told it's too much since I've only got 8 days to work with. Has anyone ever traveled to Belgium and can fill me in on some good things to see while I'm there? Thanks!

All the First World War stuff such as battle fields etc
3 :
If possible take a day or so out to visit some of the WW1 Battlefields and Memorials. Its a moving experience and one you'll always remember! Belgium is a wonderful country and you'll not be without anything to do! Contact their tourist offices via your local tourist agent and ask them! And not forgetting one of their greatest ambassadors - Audry Hepburn!

It really depends on what you want to see! Most Popular Cities : Bruges - Brussels- Ghent - Antwerp -> I ranked them as I would recommend but I don't know exactly what you like so... ***Bruges : Very nice medieval city, recommended !! Bloedkapel, Grote markt, belfort, reien (canals), ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruges ***Brussels : Nice modern city, capital Atomium, Mannenken Pis, EU parlement, ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels Ghent : gravensteen, gothic buildings like cathedral,... Antwerp : cathedral, ... Other stuff worth visiting : * Flanders Field and region Ypres (all ww1 cemeteries and musea) *Coast (less beautiful though) *... Other things to do for "fun" I guess themeparks like Walibi Go mountainbiking, rafting, climing,... in Ardennes You are saying 8 days !!!! You can still go to Paris or Amsterdam, I suggest Paris though, You can go 1 day, get up early, drive there before morning rush hour and leave late and see paris in just 1 day, take metro a lot and you can see almost every touristic attraction like Tour Eiffel, Champs Elysées, Mont Martre, Louvre, Place de la concorde, La Défence,.. Although it will be a bit all in a rush but it is totally worth it ! Cheers and have a nice stay in Belgium Want more info? PM me Edit : ***hein, you are a silly copy paster***

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.
