Can I work as a freelance videographer as an international student in Brussels?
@@idowumuhammedtimileyin7768 yes you can do anything you want as long as it’s legal. Your first 600 hours is tax free except you work in “black”

I speak German A2 level. Can it be helpful in getting a job.
@@jasminegold8119 A2 level isn’t really a proficiency for work. Most companies require B or C level. However, I will never say never
Ku leuven requires IELTS. Its mandatory
@@eyeghreelo5466 o okay. Does it depend on where you studied previously e.g. US, UK or Canada or it’s for everyone irrespective?
@UzoBeLiving only nationals of US, UK, Canada, and Australia are exempted

Pls how much is a master degree program in Belgium
We LOVE it !

Hi there, I have got you from your RUclips Channel. Your channel niche, and uploaded every good video, Congrats! I was finding your RUclipsChannel. I have visited your channel and watched some videos, the content is very good. But due to video optimization problems, the video is not getting viral and views, likes, and comments. Your problems need to be fixed. I'm a RUclips Channel SEO Optimization Expert. So I know how to fix the problem. I will manage your RUclips channel so you will feel relaxed on your RUclips channel.
In Belgium after studies one starts working immediately?? As in you just switch from study permit to work permit?
What if you apply early and get a positive feedback while still in school and you’re booked for an interview to start working immediately?
What if you speak English and French. Because I’m from Cameroon. Are chances higher getting a job in the Dutch speaking region?(flanders?)
@@homeboymediatv3729 your best bet is Brussels and Wallonia. You’ll get jobs there much quickly than in Flanders.
What if you get a rejection in a particular company and you apply for the next related position? Bad idea??
Something I seemed to have understood here is you studied law and business management for undergrad but later enrolled nor a masters in global health management? So it’s possible to switch in unrelated fields? Bc someone told me I need to apply for a masters that relates with my undergraduate.
@@homeboymediatv3729 yes I studied those things but I also worked as a health and fitness coach for 7 years prior to my masters in global health. I didn’t just switch. You need to show how your current academic interests align with your former studies or career. In my case, it aligned perfectly with my career.
Well spoken.
@@reginaokonkwo4541 thank you Mummy 🤗🤗🤗
I was asked to put 100 dollar in one cryptocurrency app like that. It’s Zara online store. Crazy people
Same thing I experience three weeks ago. People think you’re gullible because you have them benefit of doubt.
@@akanbisamson7832 I’m so sorry about your experience. It’s really horrible to be scammed when you’re desperately looking for work 🥹
I’d like to connect with you. What’s your LinkedIn handle 😊
I’ve been receiving invites for job since I relocated here. I don’t know they scam people. Although I’m still on student visa but I don’t know if I can work as a Quantity surveyor with this visa. The recruiting representative just requested for my visa passport
@@akanbisamson7832 hey! Yes sure you can work part time as a student either for student job or internship. If the company is legit please take the opportunity and use it to gain experience while you’re studying. It will be easier to get work afterwards.
great work with the subscripts!

This is very enlightening, thanks for sharing.

I'm glad they didn't succeed. I got scammed by my fellow African in Tokyo when I was looking for a part-time job as an international student.
@@Dee10294 thank you so much! Honestly, my earlier experience really traumatised me and made me realise how desperation can lead you down a rabbit hole so fast. Re: your experience, imagine that! Someone that you’d expect to empathise with you and help you. It’s really sad!
@UzoBeLiving Sadly, it's the world we're in now. Nonetheless, the hardships and cruelties shouldn't shake us because He that is in us is greater than he that is in this world.
Facebook jobs are a no no! Lots of scammers there.
@ I didn’t know that and I learnt the hard way 😔
@@Dee10294 completely agree with you! Completely!
Congratulations 🎉 dear Uzo. Well deserved. You did a great job. Wishing you all the best for your future endeavors

I am dominican but I have spanish passport moving for a job offer in a month this helps !I only speak English and Spanish my french is terrible my dutch doesn't exist😅 How is buying online is over there?Amazon?
Buying online is easy & yes there’s Amazon as well! What part of Belgium will u live? The parts in Belgium where they don’t speak french but vlaams/dutch, will be easier for you because a lot of ppl who speak french whether they’re from Belgium or France, don’t speak (or don’t like to) speak English 😅 I get a lot of customers in our shop who only speak french and they can’t or just resist to speak English so I always have to get someone to translate. (I moved to Belgium from the Netherlands)
@@MA-yc7pz congratulations on your new job! I hope you are able to settle in quickly and find your feet. Don’t worry about speaking only English. I speak only English and know a few words here and there in Dutch 😅🙆🏾♀️ and I get by. I live in the Antwerp region which is great. We have Amazon and other online and offline stores. You’ll be okay 🤗
@@EGRS20 you’re right! The French don’t like to speak anything other than French and it can be quite stressful 🥴 but I’m glad you have found a way to get by 😅
Thank you! Remain blessed.
@@Dee10294 thank you too! Remain blessed!
65 old belgian gal here. I used to go to school in Antwerp... I worked several jobs there... I left in 1989 because renting is way too expensive. Still have friends there, so I visit a lot.

Awesome experience. I wish you fruitful time in Belgium
@@reginaokonkwo4541 thank you so much for watching Mummy! I appreciate you very much ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Not sure where you live, but in Brussels, there are so many expat communities, that there is really no need to 'integrate' into Belgian society. The people I hang out with are Spanish, German, Italian, French, Slovak, etc. etc. with the occasional Belgian national thrown in. If you take a course that is taught in English, I'd think that the situation is similar, more foreigners, than Belgians.
@@karlnapp2740 my course was taught in English and we had 50% Belgian natives there. The point of integrating and learning the language is to be able to navigate the system better, have a better local experience and get access to more opportunities but that’s up to the individual to decide if these things are important enough to want to integrate.
How to do fitness training can you please explain this to me ? Thanks
@@_usamaali I’m sorry I don’t understand what you mean.
Can they refund the money in your block account incase you don't go or visa rejected
@@anomamotunrayogeorge5972 yes they will refund it if you show evidence that you didn’t go or the visa wasn’t successful.
Enjoy Antwerp!
@@hvhvgitaar thanks!
Great! I am also interested in Masters in Belgium. Can I be assisted? I just found your channel and subscribed But still Ghana jollof is better than Nigeria jollof😅

Please can you mention the transport apps and bank apps to download? Thanks
@@EmmanuellaTeach hi Emmanuella, transport apps = SNCB & De Lijn. Bank apps = Wise & Revolut.
Also adding TEC (for Wallonia) and STIB (for Brussels - yeah talk about a country that likes overcomplicating stuff lmao), for Bank I would also recommend Belfius!
Would you recommend Belgium to Nigerians now

Thanks for the information I am interested in Belgium How can you help me move to over there Thank you
@@fakiyafemi4101 thanks for watching! Re: how I can help you… i can give advice and suggestions depending on what you want to move to Belgium for.
This is a very rosy description. Things in Belgium and other EU countries are extremely difficulty for their own citizens. Be careful cause finding a room is super expensive and tricky even in coliving spaces. Let alone a studio whuch6is never under 900-1000 per month excluding minthly expenses that are mandatory ranging 150-200Eyr per month. Btw health insurance us also mandatory. Basically you pay for everything. So inform well not to end up in the streets under cartoons in the freezing winter. 😢
@@mr6sg thanks for your contribution. In this vlog, I speak from my own experiences and people I know so pardon me if my own perspective doesn’t match yours. I don’t know anyone who pays that amount for studio or electricity. I have a friend who has a two bed flat in Antwerp province and pays 500 rent. My current studio is not up to 600 all in. Again, thanks!
What a negative thing to say.
That is a very uninformed comment. Things in Belgium and in most EU countries are actually extremely good compared to any other place on the planet. Housing is not cheap but is much more expensive in neighbouring countries and in places like the U.K. it is basically three or four times the cost in Belgium. The quality of the health services , public transport, education, cultural life in Belgium is among the best in the EU although - as everywhere - people complain.
Heh, poverty does exist but I'd say, especially given our social security system, we really don't have it that bad compared to many other countries in the world. Even if it's not perfect, I'm still grateful I got to grow up with the (overall) comfort and safety we have in Belgium. And I'm from Luik-Liège, which isn't the richest area. There are a lot of taxes but they're an investment for social security, healthcare, and all the citizen infrastructures, so it's a necessary community investment to give the best possibilities of equal chances (at least as much as possible without going into extremes) to everyone. So as I said I'm definitely grateful, and I love my country. Could rain a bit less though, but it is what it is. 🤣
I got job in belgium but its not my field of study so it will be ok to take this job
