Hi, I am an Irish citizen looking to relocate to Belgium. Is it as simple as just landing and settling or do I still need certain residency papers to be submitted/ approved?
Thanks!

Hello

You will need to make an appointment with the town hall once you sign a lease/buy a house. You will need to satisfy certain things - a job, sufficient means etc.

Check the municipality website of where you intend to reside. One to satisfy all their requirements and apply it could take up to 6 months.

Thanks
