Work in Belgium for a company based in Botswana
Can I work remotely for a company in Botswana while being in Belgium?
It is usually doable, but we recommand to check the following key points first:
- Your visa in Belgium is a residence visa (C)
- Your visa in Botswana is a work visa (K)
- You will need to have a local sponsor in Belgium (usually a company)
- You will need to have a local sponsor in Botswana (usually a company)
- You will need to be in the country of your local sponsor (and the country of your local sponsor will need to be in the country of your local sponsor)
- You will need to have a work contract with your local sponsor
- You will need to be able to prove that you have a local sponsor
- You will need to be able to prove that you have a local sponsor in Botswana
If you have all of the above in place, you should be fine.
In addition, you will also need to be able to prove that you have a good reason to leave Belgium, in case your visa expires.
However, I am not sure if your company in Belgium will allow you to work remotely. It is usually not possible, since it is difficult to prove that you are working for them.
