NEWS UPDATE APRIL 25,2024
Belgium: Foreign employees in Walloon region can now
work immediately upon receipt of a single permit
Belgien: Ausländische Arbeitnehmer in der Region
Wallonien können jetzt sofort nach Erhalt einer einzigen
Genehmigung arbeiten
Since April 5, 2024, employees in the Walloon region of Belgium
(largest cities are e.g. Charleroi, Liège, Namur / Capital
of Wallon, Mons) can work immediately after their arrival in the
country (provided they already have a work permit and a residence
permit "Annex 46").
Previously, in order to be able to work, these people first had
to obtain an Annex 49 certificate (a document certifying that the
applicant has initiated the registration procedure with the local
municipal administration). Employees in the other two regions of
the country (Brussels-capital region and Flanders) were able to
work immediately upon arrival if they had a work permit and a
residence permit in accordance with Annex 46.
