Please go through https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=675768

If you may still have more specific questions, please post here.

bb. Because in Belgian visa rules, only spouse and kids are counted as dependants for non-EU nationals.

Dear Aneeshks,

Pleased to see your reply,

I have read those posts before,

There must be some provision for my widow mother, who is dependent on me, she has no income, also medical condition is such that we cannot leave her alone,

I will be in highest tax slab and surely can afford her stay and medical insurance,

I have read other forums, but there are no reply to this questions, also some of the links in earlier posts are no longer available.

I would also like to get in touch with other members with this issue.

Regards,

Vikas
