In April 2024, a new Cooperation Agreement came into force in Belgium impacting certain third-country nationals, including individuals covered under specific European Directives (e.g., EU Blue Card holders, seasonal workers, intra-corporate transferees, researchers, trainees and European Voluntary Service members).
