Offices for residence permit applications and renewals in Belgium

Bring national identification, the previous card if held and a recent compliant photo. For collection, bring the PIN/PUK letter and the temporary document given at application or after a police loss/theft report. Report a lost or stolen card to police. Ask for the current fee and collection date; the two-to-three-week card-production estimate is not a residence-decision deadline.

The city’s D-visa arrival checklist requests your valid national passport with the D visa and two recent passport photographs. Keep your approval and family/address information available and ask whether your individual file needs additional originals or translated records. Bring documents required for the residence check. Confirm current fees and later card-ordering or collection arrangements; card-production time is not the decision time for family reunification.
