Rules change
Work authorisation is decided by the region where you will work (Brussels, Flanders or Wallonia), and residence by the federal Immigration Office. Whatever your nationality, you register with your commune, and a police officer visits to confirm you live at the address. This is a general guide, not legal advice. Confirm each step with the Immigration Office (Office des Étrangers / Dienst Vreemdelingenzaken) before you rely on it.
