Portuguese passport holders enter Belgium freely as EU citizens. No visa, no time limit on stays. Bring your Portuguese passport or Cartao de Cidadao (national ID card). Belgium is in both the EU and the Schengen area, so flights from Portugal are intra-Schengen with no passport control on arrival.
For stays beyond 3 months, register at the local commune (municipality) within 8 working days of arrival. Bring your ID, proof of address, and proof of employment or sufficient resources. The commune issues an Annexe 19 receipt, followed by a registration certificate (Attestation d'enregistrement) after a police visit to verify your address. This costs about EUR 25 and takes 4 to 6 weeks. EU citizens can live and work in Belgium without a work permit. A large Portuguese community lives in Belgium (over 40,000), particularly in Brussels and Luxembourg province.
