Belgium permanent residence

• Aliens Office issues an exemption for eligibility for permanent residence;
• Alien must document his income sufficient for him and his family, if any. The law does not stipulate the exact amount, but implies that the alien should not consider the social benefits from the State;
• Alien must confirm his legal and continuous residence in the country;
• Alien must have the full medical insurance;
• Alien must have a clean criminal record both in Belgium and his home country.

Belgium law does not stipulate the distinct stages for permanent residence obtaining. Each case is considered individually and requires the certain documents, and that is the key challenge to overcome in the process of permanent residence obtaining.
