Limits of the record
  • This is the Flemish category index, which gives two summary lines per category and states that separate conditions and procedures apply to each category.
  • Flemish Region page only; it does not speak for the Brussels-Capital Region, Wallonia or the German-speaking Community, which issue their own work authorisations.
  • The Belgian sources captured do not treat researcher long-term mobility as a separate category: the federal Immigration Office page on researchers describes only the authorisation for researcher and says nothing about mobility from another Member State.

Limits of the record
