WE CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT!


Wondering how? Stay with us until the end of the article and we will show you the magic!


According to Sudinfo, 65% of Belgian employers are in an ongoing struggle to attract workers, making Belgium the European country that is the most affected by the war for talents. A bit worrying, isn't it?


And now you're probably thinking what this has to do with our firm?


Well, this crisis can be an advantage for you, especially if your business is related to a profession that is currently in shortage in Belgium.


If you want, as an employer, to increase your workforce with foreign workers, you probably know that they need…

THE SINGLE PERMIT! 🤩


👉🏻 Step 1: Who needs it?

The single permit is a MUST HAVE for a non-EU national to come and work in Belgium.


However, this obligation only concerns certain categories of persons. What do we mean by that? Easy…

  • Employers located in Belgium who wish to employ a non-EU national in their company;

  • Employers located abroad who ask one of their employees to work in Belgium;

  • Foreign nationals (from outside the EU) who want to work in Belgium as an employee.

If you think you belong to at least one of these categories, stay until the end to see what we have prepared for you and how you can make an appointment with us to achieve your goal.


So far so simple? Then let's move on!


👉🏻 Step 2: Who needs to apply for it?

The employer is obliged to apply for a single permit to the competent Region.


👉🏻 Step 3: Where to apply?

The place of application depends on where the worker is going to work!


The application is made by the employer in Belgium to the competent Region.


Remember that there are three regions in Belgium: Brussels-Capital, Wallonia and Flanders.
