What is the Immigration Office?

The Immigration Office (Dienst Vreemdelingenzaken / Office des étrangers) of the FPS Home Affairs decides on the residence of foreign nationals in Belgium, for example for family reunification, study or work. You usually submit your application at the municipality or the Belgian embassy; the Immigration Office assesses the file. A missing document, or one without the right translation or legalisation, often causes delays. Because we translate and legalise these documents every day, we also help you get the file itself in order.

You tell us what the application is for and who is coming to Belgium.

You submit the file at the municipality or the embassy, and we follow it up until the decision.

Frequently asked questions

Can you submit the application for me?

You usually submit the application in person at the municipality or the Belgian embassy. We make sure the file is complete and the documents are correctly translated and legalised, and we prepare you for the submission.

Which documents need to be translated?

Foreign certificates such as birth and marriage certificates usually have to be translated into Dutch, French or German, depending on your municipality, and often need an apostille or legalisation. We check what each document needs.

What does support with an application cost?

That depends on the type of application and the number of documents. You always receive a quote in advance; translations are charged at our usual rates.
