Hi there!!!

I would like to ask some recommendations and guidance regarding to my current situation.
I am Peruvian and study in Ireland for over 4 years, I have a long distance relationship with my belgian boyfriend and we would like to live together. The detail is, the cohabitation visa requires that we have been living together for 1 year and know each other for 2. We met a 1 year ago and have been together for 9 months. We try to visit and meet up as much as we can but we have never lived together for more than 3 weeks. What other option do we have?

For marriage, though they do not require a 1 year of cohabitation, they ask for 12 past payslips in order to prove economic solvency, we do not have this requirement, unfortunately he works for 6 months (under contract) and then he has spaces up to 6 months from job to job. Would it be possible for him and his parents to be my guarantors?

Regarding the work visa, as I've understood It's needed find an employer first and they will take care of the whole process in order to process the work permit, but how feasible is to get an employer when i would have to compete with all EU citizens in the country?

I wouldn't like to apply for a student visa, I'm 30 years old and don't want to continue studying. There is another option i could take?

thanks in advance
