What happens when my ICT permit reaches its maximum duration in Belgium?

The ICT permit is capped at the maximum total transfer duration and is not intended to be extended indefinitely. Once you reach the ceiling for your category, the ICT route itself can no longer keep you in Belgium.

If you want to continue living in Belgium, you should explore an alternative permit (for example a single permit as a salaried worker) well before your ICT permit ends. Planning the transition early helps you avoid a gap in your right to reside and work, and lets you gather any documents the next permit requires.
