Exemption from work permit requirement for family members of foreign nationals who obtained a long term resident status in another Member State and reside in Belgium (if the latter are themselves exempted).
As of 2 November 2017, family members of foreign nationals who obtained a long term resident status in another Member State and reside in Belgium will not have to obtain a work permit if the long term residents themselves do not require such a permit.
The Royal Decree of 8 October 2017 - which modifies the Royal Decree of 9 June 1999 regarding the employment of foreign nationals - introduces certain changes regarding the requirement to obtain a work permit for family members of foreign nationals who obtained a long term resident status in another Member State and currently reside in Belgium: family members of the above mentioned category of migrant will be exempted from the requirement to obtain a work permit when the long term resident is himself/herself exempted from this requirement.
However, family members will still need to obtain a work permit (type B) as long as the long term resident also requires one.
