Belgium Immigrant Entrepreneur Program
Belgium is a great country to live and work in Europe. The country has 2 parts: a French-speaking part in the south, where Brussels is located, and a Flemish part in the north. Belgium doesn’t offer a residence by investment program. Its Entrepreneur program is actually under its Self-Employed stream and requires applicants to apply for a business license for the region in which they want to relocate.
