1- References ( Host or accommodation )
Ìý Ìý We should indicate a person or Hotel .
Ìý Q:Ìý If a person , shall i write down the employer manager or CEO/HRÌý or what ?
--> As you are moving here for employment, you can mention your hiring manager's name here.
Ìý Q:Ìý If Hotel , Is it mandatory to have dummy hotel reservation for 1 yr ? ( the duration of Work Permit ) ?? or it is possible to reserve 2 weeks in an hotel , till I rent somethingÌý ?
--> Some employers provide initial 1 month stay for new employees (allowing them time to find a suitable long term accom) If your employer will provide 1 month initial stay, you can show the booking reference of that. Else, you can show 2 weeks or a month of hotel booking and as an additional supporting document a letter from your employer stating that they will assist you in finding a suitable long-term accommodation (my employer provided this letter - not sure if all of them do).
2- I was advised to file for wife and kids in same time using ( Reunion , article 10 bis 2) . (
-> Yes. It is better to apply together.
Ìý Ìý Financing of stay => Other/Person/Organization .
Ìý Ìý For kids/wife , I should choose Person ( Myself - Husband) as finance of stay .
Q: Which address i should use for myself , my address in homeland or the hotel of dummy reservation ?
--> The reservation will do.
--> When you move with your wife and kid(s), I am pretty sure you wlll book a service apartment or hotel for at least 1 month of initial stay. This booking reference will hold as accommodation proof.
3- It is written in article 10 bis for reunion ( kids/spouse )
Sufficient accommodation
Proof that the party being joined has sufficient accommodation.
This evidence can be done either, by a copy of the property’s title assigned to his principal residence housing, or by a copy of a registered lease contract concerning housing assigned to his principal residence. (Preferably, this document should be accompanied by an inventory of fixture (between landlord and tenant) of the leased property)
Q : is the dummy hotel reservation is enough or not ? I feel this is not enough as we are planning to travel together and forsure, I will not rent a home before I go ! or it doesn't apply because the family will travel at once together ?
-> The clause of lease contract etc are applicable when you are already here and your spouse applies for a visa to join you.
--> When you apply together, the initial stay booking reference is sufficient.
You may also consider including a cover letter stating that you booked the initial stay and will find a suitable accommodation once you are in Belgium.
Hope this helps.
