Hello everyone,
My name is Jen, I am an American working on cruise ships and looking for a place to land in the next year or so. My boyfriend of two years is Belgian and we are considering moving out there when we get off ship but we have questions...
How difficult is it to find a job in Belgium? I am in hospitality now but my original background is in biochemistry (bachelor's degree). I am learning French and will have the time once I'm off to learn some Dutch/Flemish as well (I'm pretty sure we'll be moving to the French area of the country but I know it helps to know both)
Will we have to get married? We'd like to do this on our own time although I know it's easier visa-wise to get married. I've read about a cohabitation visa but you can't work with that...or can you?
Any answers or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading!
