You are in a relationship with a Belgian citizen but your residence remains uncertain?

Even when in a relationship or family with a Belgian, the residence procedure can be complex:

  • Strict requirements regarding income, housing, and insurance.
  • Difficulty proving the reality of the relationship or family tie.
  • Delicate administrative situations (irregular residence, refused visa…).
  • Misunderstanding of rules: marriage, legal cohabitation, lasting relationship… what must be proven?

Each situation is unique. We are here to help you gather the right documents, present a coherent file, and avoid errors that block the procedure.

Conditions for family reunification with a Belgian

For the application to be accepted, the Belgian citizen must prove:

  • A valid family tie: marriage or legal cohabitation with an adult partner.
  • Regular income: at least €2,131.28 net/month (indicative amount 2025, excluding social assistance).
  • Sufficient housing: to accommodate the family member.
  • Health insurance: covering both household members.

If you are in irregular residence or residing abroad, the application can still be submitted, but it must be done in the prescribed forms.

We support you at every step

Our goal: to transform your personal project into a solid and admissible application to the administration.

Verification of conditions

We evaluate the compliance of income, housing, health insurance, and necessary supporting documents.

Building and submitting your file

We prepare a solid file to be submitted to the municipality or consulate, with all evidence required by law.

Follow-up of your application

We ensure follow-up with the administration and intervene in case of complication, refusal, or need for appeal.

    I am glad to get a positive decision from the immigration office for my parents due to Avocats Halabi & Associés. I thank you so much for your efforts. I strongly recommend Avocats Halabi & Associés specially Mrs A-S PALSTERMAN for immigration process.

  • SK

    Maître Halabi was a gem with us. She took my short-stay visa application to heart. Her intervention with the Immigration Office clearly made the difference. Within 10 days, my visa application was granted. I'm so happy to have found her. The distance between us (Africa) made no difference. I recommend her without hesitation!

  • PM

    We used Maître Halabi's services for a family case (family reunification) and, despite a stricter context, the result was positive. She knows this subject inside and out and the file was very well prepared. Thank you.

    I used Cabinet Halabi twice: first for my family reunification visa, and more recently for my Belgian nationality file with Maître Bodart. Everything always went smoothly with great professionalism, excellent responsiveness in email exchanges, and serious support from start to finish. I highly recommend this firm!

    Great law firm and team. Professional and friendly!

    A friend recommended this firm because he had experienced the same situation as me: a D visa refusal for family reunification. So I made contact, and everything went very well. Mrs. Palsterman handled my file very seriously: she was very clear in her explanations from start to finish and always responds quickly to emails. I am really very satisfied and I recommend this firm 100%. A big thank you also to the entire team for their professionalism and support.

    Super bureau d'avocat. Nous avons effectué un regroupement familial D (5ans). Les avocats sont présents avec nous jusqu'à l'obtention du visa. Visa obtenu. Je les recommande fortement car sans leurs aides je n'y serais pas parvenue. Un grand merci à Maître Lombaert.

  • LM

    After an initial refusal, I was fortunate to benefit from the expertise of Cabinet Avocats Halabi & Associés. Thanks to your rigorous support and valuable advice, we were able to prepare a solid file. Thanks to the firm, we received a favorable response just four days after submitting our file, which allowed me to quickly obtain my D visa. I am extremely grateful for the dedication and professionalism you demonstrated.

  • PD

    After an initial family reunification refusal, we contacted Cabinet Halabi. The appointment was scheduled very quickly; we were listened to and immediately reassured. We were accompanied step by step. Each of our questions received a detailed response the same day or the next. A few months later, thanks to their advice, our new application was accepted! We are incredibly happy to have had the chance to work with Maître Palsterman and the rest of the team.
