Dear Julien,

Thank you for your message. It is around 3 weeks that I arrived in Belgium.
I applied for the visa in December 2013 and around 6 weeks later received my visa. I am in University of Gent and have started my PhD. I reside in the units offered by university.
The point is that I am in the situation of self-payment and need to find a financial resource for my studies. I am looking for a way to finance my studies and this is crucial to me. Other than this concern, everything is fine and I like Belgium and also Gent.
If anyone needs more information from my side, I will be happy to help it and I will be grateful if anyone can help me about finding a kind of fund or financial resource for my PhD project.

Kind Regards,
Pedy

Thanks for the update Pedy !

Maybe you should try to find a part time job to finance your studies ?
