Formalities
after arriving in Belgium:
The Alien has to register with the
city hall within 8 days of arrival (of the place of residence, not the place of
work) and submit his passport, working permit and household registration if applicable
(translated and certified). After the usual verifications, the ciy hall will issue
a resident permit (Certificat d'inscription au registre des étrangers –C.I.R.E.),
valid from 5 months to 1 year, depending on the case, and extendable. This permit
allows the alien to travel within the Schengen States and to apply for a visa
with the foreign diplomatic representative offices in Belgium. The delay between
registering at the city hall and issuing the residence permit can take 3 to 6
weeks depending on the city.
