If you want access to the Belgian labor market, social security, reside here or simply move freely about on the Belgian territory, you will need to officially register and thus fulfill a number of formalities. The type of formalities will depend on your civil status, the purpose and the term of your stay, and are taken care of by several Belgian administrations such as the municipality ("commune / gemeente") of your residence in Belgium or the Immigration Office ("Office des Etrangers / Dienst Vreemdelingenzaken"). Take into account that the procedure can be long and complex. Be sure to prepare well in time before arriving in Brussels and … be patient.
Once you arrive in Belgium, contact your municipality's foreign affairs department ("Service étranger / vreemedlingenzaken") to make an appointment for your residence formalities (select your residence commune below).
