BELGIUM: Medical Certificate Abolished for Purposes of Residency

Effective December 1, 2008, the Belgian Minister of Migration implemented a new rule stating that employees with work permits no longer need to provide a medical certificate when applying for a Type D visa application. The same exception pertains to work-permit holders entering Belgium that do not apply for a visa with consular authorities abroad.

Certain foreign employees, however, who enter Belgium for a maximum 6-month stay are exempt from this new regulation and include, but are not limited to, specialized technicians, such as assemblers or installers of foreign-built machines; nor is it relevant to foreign employees who are exempt from holding work permits.
