Tailor-made legal support

Belgian immigration legislation was recently reformed to deliver a “single permit” that covers the right of employment and the right of stay with one single document. Unfortunately, the single permit does not imply a simple process. We can help you so you can focus on your core business!

Are you here to setup your business and in need of a professional card for self-employed persons allowing you to work in Belgium? We can help to setup your business and assist with your professional card application at the same time.

Immigration also means visa requirements. We provide assistance with visa applications, translation and legalization of documents to liaising with the competent authorities and diplomatic posts until delivery of the visa. We personalize every advice to guarantee a hassle-free immigration process.

After long term settlement in Belgium we also provide support with unlimited residence status and Belgian Citizenship applications.

Not sure which requirement applies to your situation? Call us now.
