If you want to run your own business or work as a freelancer in Belgium rather than be hired by an employer, this is your route. Like work authorisation generally in Belgium, it's regionalised, so you apply to Flanders, Wallonia or Brussels depending on where your activity is based, and each region weighs your business plan and its usefulness to the local economy. You'll usually pair it with a type-D long-stay visa.
