In order for an applicant to engage in a professional activity on a salary basis (employee status), the required residency visa can only be issued upon the presentation of a work permit and supporting documents. The work permit is applied for and must be obtained by the employer in Belgium at the appropriate regional government office before the prospective employee enters Belgium.
It is the employer's responsibility to mail the work permit to the employee, who then contacts the Belgium Consular Office in whose jurisdiction he/she is a resident to apply for the temporary residency visa (ASP or MVV).
Persons considering a stay in Belgium as an au pair (age limit 18 to 26), and who already have a host family sponsor, be aware that specific regulations apply.
