I haven't tried this for quite a long time, but you got to do this:
Even after the work permit is denied, you will mostly get the opportunity to sign the player, but not be able to play him until he gets his citizenship. Send him to an affiliate from Belgium (3 years) or Croatia (2 years)..and compile match reports. When your scout tell you he has had a game of the highest quality, try and get him to sign a new contract. Again, the same work permit issue will come up, but this time, it'll be almost certain that it will be accepted because of his good performance.
You might have a big problem with WPs because you don't have a Belgium affiliate. Go ahead and request one. By the way, amazing job in getting Eastleigh to the Premier League and Europe!
