It wouldn't have been fair and it wasn't fair when I was faced with this attitude in Belgium and they did extra checks on me, just because I wanted to get a phone subscription plan and it took them a lot of time to run those checks before approving the contract. They were very wary of taking debit or credit cards issued in Romania. The situation was different, though, because Romania is in the EU and legally we did have the right to move freely within the boundaries of the EU and seek jobs, or travel.

But even if it was unfair to me, that doesn't mean I had any right to have a say in Belgium's policies on immigration or expat work. It would have totally been their right to limit my stay there if they considered so and if their policy would have been in agreement with EU laws.

On the other hand, I was working for an EU institution, so I didn't have to apply for a work permit in Belgium, like most Romanians who wanted to work there. My employer was basically a transnational institution, I was never employed by a Belgian entity. So their labour laws didn't really apply to me.

I personally would want to go back home to a place where I was familiar with if I was in that situation.


Syrians had always wanted to leave the country. They were just too poor and unmotivated to do it. But then the war qualified them for instant refugee status. They certainly aren't going back. Just read a survey about how 80% of Germany's refugees want to stay permanently. Consider investing in pepperspray stocks!
