• Hold a valid passport or identity card of the country of origin.

A registration certificate (temporary permit) valid for 5 months is issued by the Commune at the time of registration.
• Provide proof of subsistence means. A form (" Annex 19b " to be completed by your employer) may be obtained for proof of employment. In the case of a one year or longer stay, the commune authorities will also deliver an application for residence. A number of documents have to be produced within a period of 5 months. If a residence permit is granted, the commune will issue a residence card valid for five years and will enter the alien's name in the population register.

Some members of the family living with the resident are also covered by the simplified procedures, irrespective of their nationality. They must produce :

• Passport or identity card
• Documents proving their marital or parental link with the resident, translated by a certified translator (please see " Before you arrive " ).

  The C.I.R.E. is valid for one year and may be extended, unless the A.S.P./V.V.V. stipulates a limit on the length of stay.
  This document gives the holder the right to travel unrestricted through all Schengen countries, for a maximum of three months.

Procedure

telephone to make an appointment a week in advance. You will be asked to give exact details: the full address, exact floor (level, left or right, front or back). Connections are made between the hours of 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Statement of the opening of a meter, provided by the commune.
Photocopy of front and back of your identity card or your passport.
You must be present in person, or give a proxy (a simple sheet of paper signed by you will suffice) to an adult to sign for the opening of the meter.
Bills are issued monthly.

Electricity in Belgium : 220 Volts/50 cycles

Useful to know :

VAT has to be added to all the basic rates: 21% for gas and electricity, 6% for water.
The water, gas and electricity meters are read only once a year, and your bill is readjusted annually in line with your consumption. Your first bills will correspond to estimates based on the consumption of the previous occupant. Be aware that the readjustments may be sizeable if their family profile was very different to yours!
The supply companies listed above do not handle repairs or maintenance: it is up to you to quickly find a plumber and an electrician
If you have problems with your drains, call your commune: an efficient service can help you.
Get your electricity meter set by Electrabel to identify consumption during the night (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.), which is half as expensive as during the day (two-hourly residential rate).
