• I applied for the cohabitation visa about 2 months ago, and I hopefully will receive it soon. My question is does anybody know if this allows you the right to work?

  • Hi Kenny,

    Yes, this is a visa of type D, and it will allow you to work with no restrictions

  • No you need to have your annulment as the requirment for cohabitation is two UNmarried people.

  • Can anyone please tell me how long do I need to wait to get a cohabitation visa? I applied in June and I still have no answer. Shall I keep waiting or go to the town hall to ask for an update of my application?

  • We are on the same dilemma. I just got my fiancee visa approved and now im confused on what plane ticket to get, a one-way or round trip. The Embassy of Belgium in my country said that it is up to me if I will get a one-way or round trip ticket but I am not sure if a one-way ticket will create any problem at the immigration upon arrival. Please help. Your inputs are highly appreciated. Thanks

  • Hello,
    I have a Belgian boyfriend for two years and we have plans to settle down in Belgium. Fiancee visa has a lot of paperworks to do compared to cohabitation visa application. I want to know the difference between the two, and is it possible for me to apply with that kind of visa. I am single. Thanks a lot.

  • Hello,
    My boyfriend from Nigeria, just applied for a cohabitation visa. No the site of the Belgium Embassy says that the visa is only valid for Belgium and not for schengen. Now there is no direct flying route from Nigeria to Belgium. Does my boyfriend need a transit visa ?
    thank you for your help

  • Hello everyone,

    I am getting ready to go meet my partner in Belgium and from there we will register our partnership and apply for a cohabitation visa.
    Can someone tell me how long it usually takes to get the visa approved from someone from the US and a Belgian? If I have 3 months on a tourist visa, what are the chances that I will have to leave?

    And at what point can you work with the visa? I've had a few job interviews, but keep hearing the same thing -- you're qualified and we like you but you have to be a EU or EFTA member. It's difficult. Any advice recommended as I, like most of us probably, am not rich and must work.

    Dank je wel!

  • Hi Jetlee

    If you are already leaving in Belgium, it can take between 3 to 9 months. Mine took 7.
