Case-specific residence application for stays over 90 days
Route overview
Typical timeline / duration: Long-stay visa entry followed by residence authorization/permit depending on case.
Important notes
Belgian foreign affairs pages state a long-stay D visa is required for stays over 90 days and may be obtained for purposes including retirement.
Immigration materials require stable, sufficient means of subsistence and health insurance covering the stay. Income, assets, accommodation, and family circumstances should be submitted together so the authority can assess whether the applicant would rely on public assistance.
Retirement/non-working stay should not be treated as employment.
