Short Stay in Belgium: Arrival Declaration Now Available Online
4/10/2026
Any person entering Belgium for a short stay (up to 90 days within a 180-day period) must declare their presence within three days of arrival, unless they are staying in a hotel, hospital, or prison.
Since 10 April 2026, this declaration can be completed online using the electronic form “My Address in Belgium” (MAB). You no longer need to register your arrival at the local municipal administration.
