The Belgian government introduced changes to work permit regulations in the Brussels Capital Region.
Key Points:
Additional Information: As part of the changes, the government is changing the name of “work permit B” to either a “short-term work authorization” or a “long-term work authorization.” In addition, employers will no longer be required to send documents for an annual compliance notification if a work authorization is granted for more than one year. Unlimited work authorization will be granted for employees residing in Belgium for at least 30 months without interruption who can also provide proof of 30-month employment through a single permit or work authorization obtained in the Brussels Capital Region.
BAL Analysis: The work permit regulations will change on Oct. 1 and apply to non-European nationals working for an employer located in the Brussels Capital Region. Employers should be aware of and consider the increased thresholds in their business planning for calendar year 2025.
