Belgium to increase salary thresholds effective 1 January 2025

Effective 1 January 2025, the minimum salary thresholds for third-country nationals working in Belgium is set to increase. This increase will impact new and pending applications, as well as existing permits. Individuals who apply for certain Belgian work or single permits must meet specific salary thresholds. The authorities review these thresholds periodically. Salary thresholds and policies differ across the three Belgian regions of Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia (e.g., individuals working in Wallonia based on a highly qualified permit type are subject to prorated salary thresholds based on their actual working time).
