Make sure the application for your vehicle is submitted no later than 1 day after you entered the low-emission zone. That way, you will avoid a fine.
Please note: The decision on your application is not final until you receive confirmation. The processing of your application may take up to 14 days. If you enter the low-emission zone in Ghent before receiving confirmation, you do so at your own risk. If your application is subsequently rejected, you may receive a fine. It is therefore best to register in advance.
