Hi,

I am a non Eu national, who already has a business visa for 5 years (multiple entry) for Schengen area which allows me to stays 90 days at once.

Meanwhile, i have been accepted at a university in Belgium as a student for a course of 1 year.

I want to ask whether i can enter Belgium using my current business visa and change it with Belgium authorities to a student visa?

[Meanwhile, since i have a business visa, i will be working for one of my home country institutes as their representative in Belgium, where my home country will pay me, while studying as student]

I believe you should not have a problem having your visa changed from business visa to student visa. Obtaining work visa is more complicated, I do not see any reason why the authorities would not want to give you "easier-to-get" visa once you already are an "approved" individual.
