Need help regarding applying for long term visa in belgium and
The consulate is correct. A work contract is not an authorization to work in Belgium for an expat. Work Permit is the work authorization based on which an expat is granted a long stay visa in Belgium for employment. Your employer (a family it seems) must get you a work permit. I am not sure how successful it will be for them to get this.
Thanks very much for past reply.
Do i have to send original certificate for them to apply my WP or just scanned copy? Like medical certificate and PCC etc. Coz this is the first time they will hire a non eu employee.
You need to send them originals.
Do i need to get another originals.since all my original documents submitted already to the embassy.
You can ask the documents back from the consulate. If that is not possible, yes you may have to get new originals.
thanks for the information. i request a copy of my medical certificate to the clinic where i have my medical. i just need to do the attestation again of my PCC here. to be send to my employer for my work permit. until now no reply from the embassy my employer send and email to them. just have queries what will my employer do to apply a work permit for me? since its there first time. do he have to wait for the embassy of belgium here to reply,and provide information for the work permit? coz the status of my visa applications says its under process at belgium embassy of abu dhabi. i applied it last dec 27,2018 and its under process in belgium embassy of abu dhabi since 30th dec 2018. my still employer still not apply for the work permit coz they still need information regarding the work permit....
