Studying in Belgium. Everything you need to know
Belgium offers international higher education in Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels. On this page you will find what you need, how to apply, what work opportunities exist and what your options are after graduation.
Important. Europe Work Pass does not submit official applications on your behalf. You must apply for your visa, residence permit and university enrollment yourself. We provide checklists, guidance, pre-checks and reminders.

- A long-stay type D visa for study with proof of sufficient funds and valid insurance. The application is submitted through the Belgian embassy or consulate
Working during your studies
- You may work up to twenty hours per week during the academic year, as long as it does not interfere with your studies. During school holidays there is no restriction on working hours
