    In case of mobility, Belgium is the so-called second Member State. Only in case of long-term mobility an application is required for a permit for long-term mobility “ICT”. Holders of a valid intra-corporate transferee permit issued by another Member State can travel to Belgium in the framework of short-term mobility on the basis of the general rules applicable to short stays. No prior notification is required.

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

The applicant must be a third-country national who has obtained intra-corporate transferee status in another Member State and may come to work in Belgium only for an entity of the same undertaking or of the same group as the employer established abroad to which they are already bound by a work contract.
