Condition
Applicant's employer in Belgium must apply and obtain an employer permit and a work permit (VDAB, FOREM or ORBEM/BSDA) for the applicant from the relevant sub-regional employment service depending on where the company's head office is situated.
Applicant may note that, apart from certain exceptions (e.g. highly qualified staff, researchers, trainees or au pairs), employer permits are only issued if there are no workers or not enough workers on the Belgian labour market for the sector in question due to its specific characteristics and if there is an international agreement.
