Do you dream of working abroad, but don’t want to give up your sense of security? Then the Overseas Social Security (OSS) is exactly where you belong. As federal government institution, we provide Belgians working outside Europe with a strong social safety net. This allows you to seize opportunities worldwide, while still enjoying the benefits you would have at home. What exactly do we do? We ensure that Belgians working outside the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom remain protected through a voluntary social security system. Concretely, they benefit from: • Pension build-up: your years of work abroad count towards your career • Health and disability coverage: similar to Belgian health insurance, but with worldwide protection • Insurance against occupational accidents and diseases The same security you have at home, available worldwide. Why is this relevant for you? Just imagine: • You kick-start your career at an NGO in Asia. • You take your first steps in diplomacy in Africa. • You work in the international business world in the United States. • You build an international network — and your future. And while you conquer the world, your social protection continues seamlessly. Going international without taking risks: that’s OSS. For whom? For anyone dreaming of a career: • in diplomacy • at NGOs or international organisations • in multinationals • in expat or secondment programmes • as a young professional abroad Why OSS? Because you want to grow. To push boundaries. To see the world. And we ensure you can do that with complete peace of mind. Overseas Social Security, your springboard to an international career, with the security of home.
