Working in a shortage occupation in Belgium
Do you have a professional opportunity in Belgium? We help you turn your professional opportunity into a valid residence permit.
You have a job offer in Belgium, but no work permit yet?
Even with a signed contract, administrative procedures can seem complex:
- The documents to provide are numerous, and deadlines sometimes difficult to anticipate.
- The rules vary depending on your personal situation, your nationality, and the Belgian region concerned.
- Your employer doesn’t always have the expertise or time to handle the procedure.
You need to know exactly what to do, in what order, and when.
You’ve done the hardest part: getting a position. Our role is to help you turn this opportunity into a valid residence permit.
Types of permits for your profile
The single permit
A document that combines residence authorization and work authorization.
Essential for long-term contracts, valid for a specific employer and position.
Work permit B for shortage occupations
If you have an offer in an officially recognized shortage occupation (for example: nurse, cook, developer, technician…), you can benefit from a simplified procedure:
- No need for the employer to prove they can’t find anyone in Belgium.
- Often faster processing times.
- More accessible salary conditions than the EU Blue Card.
The list of shortage occupations varies by Region (Brussels, Wallonia, Flanders). We help you check if your profession is on it.
Permit A (unlimited)
Issued after several years of work under permit B (generally 4 years over 10 years of regular residence), this permit gives you full access to the Belgian job market.
Special cases: are you exempt from a work permit?
In very specific cases, a foreign worker may be exempt from a work permit, provided they:
- Reside legally in Belgium with a valid residence permit
- Belong to a category expressly provided for by the Royal Decree of September 2, 2018
Examples of potentially exempt profiles:
- Scientific researchers under a hosting agreement
- Persons with « unlimited » residence rights (permit A or long-term resident card)
- Students working part-time within the 20-hour/week limit
- Family members of Belgian or EU citizens (in certain cases)
- Posted workers under strict conditions
These cases are highly regulated. Most people with a job offer must obtain a standard work permit (B or single).
