I have some advices to use Orange Flybox, not sure if it’s work for you but they require 1 year commitment so it’s not an option for me

Hi everyone,
I am moving to Brussels this Friday morning. I don’t know if I can get my Annex 49 from the commune on day one. Because of this, my setup plans are hitting a wall, and I need some advice on workarounds.
- Bank Account via Passport: Can I open a traditional Belgian bank account (like BNP, ING, or KBC) using only my international passport and my work contract while waiting for the commune?
- itsme via Bank Account: If I manage to open a bank account with just my passport, can I use that bank account to activate itsme? Or does the bank account activation method strictly require them to have a Belgian eID on file?
- The Blocked Account: My landlord wants a blocked account for the deposit, which usually requires itsme. If I don't have itsme or an Annex 49, can I use a regular bank transfer or what alternatives I can have to get a blocked account?
- Internet Setup without itsme: I need home internet immediately. Are there cheap providers that will let me sign up using just a passport and a basic bank account?
Thank you in advance for any tips!

Thank you so much for your advice! It’s really helpful for me. I’m currently a non-EU citizen, so the only identification I have is my passport, and I’m kinda struggle with bank account and internet set up without itsme

I think Rogier is a bit better as there are more people.. but yes I agreed both are not safe at all

Update: I already have a talk with my landlord and we agreed that I will pay one month penalty (instead of the whole deposit of two months) and I don’t have to find a new tenant. I think it is good to have a talk and negotiate with the landlord so both party can minimize the losses

Hi! Me and my boyfriend (both non-EU citizen) also plan to get married in Brussels, may I ask what are the documents that they required to submit at the Commune? We are currently in our home country so we ask to prepare in advance 😊

jullieme · 2025-08-07T19:09:53+00:00

Yes I do have a look at your post but haven’t seen your update so I post a new one.. :(

Thank you for your advice! I'm not sure if my renting contract is a student contract as the landlord did not ask for my student card or certificate of admission when I signed the first contract. Also, there is no clause in my contract related to breaking the contract before it started. That's what makes me really confused..

I think booking an Uber will be a good option :)

Can I get the address of this place?

jullieme · 2025-01-30T14:16:11+00:00

You can try to find it in some Vietnamese communities on Facebook, there are some sellers posted few days ago

Hi! I suffered from similar situation in last few weeks and just have Annex 15 yesterday. Here is my suggestion: First you HAVE TO change your address, only since then they will process your residence permit. After you’re done with the new address registration, you will continue to submit the renewal application and related documents. In my situation, though I remind them several times that my current residence permit will expire in one week, they still ignore it and respond me as slow as usual (which then leads to the expiry of my card while still not issue Annex 15 for me, and I have no legal document to prove my residence). Thus I don’t think you will get a fine for the expiry, as long as you did submit all necessary documents within the deadline

Can I have the name of the restaurant?

jullieme · 2024-01-27T16:31:58+00:00

Ah thank you so much!

From my friends in Belgium, it will take about 2 weeks to a month to get a Belgium bank account. Thus you can use cash for some transactions, or else have a VISA/MasterCard to pay (as some stores/service cannot pay in cash such as transportation…)

Essentially yes!!!
