Please help im Desperate to know.

Hi Derek Mitchley,

I suggest you to go through the Belgium forum, Formalities section, you might find some interesting information on you to proceed :)

Thank you,

David.

cohabitation visa, look it up, the other ways I guess are work permit or student, but cohabitation is likely to suit you best, if your girlfriend has enough income

you will have to sign a "wettelike samewoning", i know as im from south africa and also have a boyfriend in belgium, you sign a samewoning at the City hall of the place your girlfriend lives at. But there is quite a bit of paperwork and requirements to be followed. goodluck
