Employer-led work and residence route for people with an offer.
Route overview
Employer work + residence
Typical timeline / duration: 3-9 months
Important notes
A Belgian employer must submit the single application through the one-stop counter to the competent Region for work lasting more than 90 days.
A genuine job offer or employment relationship meeting the applicable regional work-authorisation conditions.
Passport, proof of fee payment, proof of means and employment duration, criminal-record extract if over 18, medical certificate, and Belgian health insurance coverage.
If applying from abroad, obtain the national long-stay visa after the work and residence authorisations are approved.
The Region assesses work authorisation and the Immigration Office assesses residence; both decisions are combined into the single permit.
The permit is employer and region dependent; it is not an open job-search or remote-work route.
