Hello,

I have a bit of a unique situation that i haven't found much perspective on in my search for information.

I am a Belgian national living in Canada with my Canadian husband and our daughter.

we are planning on moving to Belgium together, however because I haven't lived or worked in Belgium I won't be able to meet the requirements for sponsorship for my husbands' visa.

I do have my family in Belgium and they will be supporting us in the beginning, but they don't technically qualify to be his sponsor as they're not his direct family like me.

My question is, can my family stand in as his sponsor on his visa application or if not, what would be the most practical(and legal) way to make this move happen?

any perspectives are welcome!

Kim
