17 PART TIME WORK AS A STUDENT If you are looking for extra work during your stay in Antwerp, you can use an online database a vailable to all students where opportunities during the year and in the holiday period are listed. Please note that most jobs require a sound knowledge of Dutch. Or do you prefer to work on campus? EU & EFTA nationals may work in Belgium on the strength of a national passport or identity card and are employed in the same way as a Belgian student. They are allowed to work up to 38 hours a week. Non-EU/EFTA nationals will receive a residence permit - an electronic foreigner card type ‘A’ - containing the statement stipulating your admission to work. The statement will be automatically included on the residence permit. As student employment has to be compatible with studying, international students from countries outside the EEA may only work up to 20 hours a week. Afroja Khanam, Bangladesh , M.Sc. in Governance and Development Antwerp 'Antwerp is good for everything'. It's good for studying, leisure activities, and it offers a great nightlife too. It's also a good transportation hub which places it at an advantage point for traveling - the airport and train stations are easily accessible. And if you love beer, then you are absolutely in the right place in Belgium, with its more than 600 different varieties of beer! And even if you are like me and don't drink, you can still admire the many colourful varieties of Belgian beers. Something else you must definitely try while here are a good portion of French Fries or rather Frietjes from a local 'Frituur'. Afroja
