What income and insurance do I need for Belgian long-term resident status?

Beyond the residence period, the application tests your ability to support yourself. The Immigration Office requires stable, regular and sufficient means of subsistence, with reference amounts increased for dependants.

You must also hold sickness/medical insurance that covers the relevant risks in Belgium, and present valid identity and residence documents. As with all such conditions, applicants must not pose a danger to public order or national security. Gathering proof of steady income and continuous insurance coverage in advance makes the application smoother.
