Expats - Registering in municipality and applying for residence permit

Every person without Belgian Nationality who is coming to Belgium in order to work, must have a residence permit as a migrant worker. EU-nationals, nationals of a country belonging to the European Economic Area and Swiss nationals benefit from more lenient residence regulations.

A contact person of the expat (employer, payroll service or relocation office) can submit a residence application at the Expats counter.
