Hello everyone,
I am a MBA student pursuing my degree in France. For my end of studies internship (6 months), I am looking to intern in Brussels. I have a French long stay student visa which will be valid through my internship period along with Schengen status that allows to travel and live in any EU country for a maximum of 3 months. My dilemma is that what visa (if any) is required to do my 6 months internship in Brussels?聽 How can one go about it as I am looking to start my internship at the end of March, 2018.

Anybody who was or is in the same situation as me?
I'd appreciate your inputs as I have received a lot of fragmented information from multiple sources but nothing concrete yet. Thank you so much in advance!!

Cheers!

You've left it聽 late, go to Belgian embassy quickly.

In my opinion, you may need a work permit to do the internship in Brussels (and based on work permit you apply a D type visa because the duration of stay is >3months). Do check with your employer, and as said above, also check with the Belgian consulate in France.

Hello,

Like already said a lot of time on this forum, as a third country, you'll need to request a single permit from your place of residence.
Actually it's your future employer that has to do most a job, and then you request your visa D to go in Belgium + work permit.

Please read the thousand existing thread on that topic, you'll find plenty of useful information, and we can always assist if you've specific questions that were not already answered聽
