Application for a short-term authorisation to work
Performing artist - maximum 90 days in Belgium
(Art. 20, §1, 6 DBCR 16 May 2024)
If the duration of the employment in Belgium is maximum 90 days (in case of successive jobs without any interruption, the previous periods are taken into account to calculate the 90 days), you need to submit the following documents:
- Employment contract for a performing artist in French (.pdf) or in Dutch (.pdf)
- Other required documents
If that is not the case, see the page "Other cases".
Renewal
Please note, if the renewal of an authorisation entails employment of more than 90 days in total, you must apply via the single permit procedure - and not a work autorisation.
