AWDC Café: “Xpatriate: Immigration to Belgium - overview & case studies"

In recent years we have received a lot of queries regarding immigration, social security, visas, etc...
For these matters, we’ve contacted experts such as Xpatriate.
Given that they now have a large group of clients from within our diamond community and have experience with concerns that affect us all, we thought it best for you to get a chance to meet with this company directly.

INTRODUCTION TO THE AGENDA 
Antwerp's Diamond district is the home to a multinational business community. Immigration challenges are never far from those non-EU nationals seeking to travel to Belgium for short trips or those who desire a more permanent stay in pursuit of establishing a new business. 

During the presentation, Xpatriate will highlight the primary immigration routes for employees and self-employed professionals coming to Belgium for short or long-term commitments. In addition, they will zoom in on a few specific topics that brought challenges in files managed on behalf of clients active in Antwerp's Diamond district - such as common refusal grounds for Schengen Visa, challenging family reunification applications & nationality declarations.
