Admission to Belgium

Residence permit

Citizens of EU countries can enter Belgium without a visa or residence permit.  For a stay of three months or less EU members only need a valid passport or identity card.  All our international students are expected to register at the Town Hall within 8 working days after arrival.  You will have to inform the Town Hall administration of your temporary address in Belgium.  Therefore you should inform with the international officer, who will help you with all registrations.
