Living in a different region with a single permit

Post new topic

Hello,

Can you change the region you live in if you have a non-eu single permit (or you're currently applying for one)?

Do you need to work and live in the same region? Or for instance, could your job be based in Brussels, but you live in the Flemish region?

You can. I live in Brussels but work in the Flemish region. This is no problem

Edigj

Sure you can. It is same country.

Does that still apply if you work from home/remotely? So if your work permit is granted in one region, but you work from home in a different region?

It doesnt matter.

Edigj

You are overthinking. Region does not matter at all
