<h3>I am a US Citizen that wants to move to Belgium. Is it hard to get a work visa?</h3>
I have 5 years experience as a data/product/CRM analyst with specialized experience in business intelligence/statistical analysis software. I also have a Bachelor's and Master's in Mathematics. I have been applying to companies for more than one month and have yet to hear anything. Is it hard to get a work visa with my experience? My boyfriend resides in Brussels, Belgium and I am looking for a way to move there as soon as I can. Any advice on how to achieve this would be most welcome. Thank you!
<strong>Belgium best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by Monique D</i><br/>My husband is French and the E.U. has standardized laws regarding work visas now so it is the same there as it is in Belgium. Aside from getting married to your boyfriend (which would automatically grant you citizenship and therefore a work permit for all of the E.U.) you need to find a company to sponsor you. Usually, the best bet is to find a U.S. company with a branch operating in the country where you want to live. Apply there for a specific opening abroad and play up your knowledge of the language (french or flemish) and the homecountry way of doing things as reasons to hire you over a local. Unemployment is high over there and you are very unlikely to find employment if you need a Belgian company to sponsor you.
Good luck!</p>
