BELGIUM
Replacement of the information published in OJ C 247 of 13.10.2006
It is stipulated in Belgian law that the availability of adequate means of subsistence should be demonstrated.
The administrative practice is as follows:
|
(a) |
Aliens staying with a private individual Proof of means of subsistence may be furnished by means of a letter of guarantee signed by the person accommodating the alien in Belgium and authenticated by the municipal administration of his place of residence. The declaration of liability covers the costs of the alien’s stay, health care, accommodation and repatriation in the event that the alien is unable to pay, so as to ensure that the public authorities do not have to bear them. The declaration must be signed by a person who is solvent and, if this person is an alien, is in possession of a residence permit or establishment permit. If necessary, the alien may also be required to furnish proof of personal resources. If he is without any financial credit at all, he must have access to approximately EUR 45 for each day of the planned stay. |
|
(b) |
Aliens staying at a hotel If the alien is unable to furnish proof of any credit at all, he must have access to approximately EUR 95 for each day of the planned stay. In most cases, the person concerned must in addition produce a travel ticket (airline ticket) enabling him to return to his country of origin or residence. |
