No. you may NOT.


Your Greek permits are only good in Greece.


In order to live/work in Belgium, you need Belgian papers.

What should I do,normally?

If you have a permanent status  ( epimakron) in Greece you may come here to work, but first you need a work contract and  adresse of residence in order to work here legally .

In all other cases you have to apply for single permit.

Need help with immigration or administrative procedures in Belgium?
Get in touch with an immigration lawyer

Do you have epimakron?

You need to first have a job contract and accommodation and you can apply for Belgian resident permit/work at the commune. This is only required the first year then, from year 2 you have unlimited access to labor market and after 5 years you can get the same residence permit in Belgium.  You can PM me for more details
