@Aneesh Hi ! I had recently my Annex 46, and now i'm applying for Visa D.

Once i get my Visa D, i m willing to stay only 1 week on a hotel in brussels, and register in a commune to have my annex 49.

After that, i want to go to Paris and stay there, till i start working- after 2 months- .

Did that cause a problem to my annex 49/ residence in brussels ?

Please i need a help. Thank youu !

It is better to stay in Brussels and do your residence permit formalities before you start travelling around :)

@Meriem O when you first move to Belgium, you need to report to a Belgian city hall within 8 days after arrival.  Because the waiting times at Belgian city halls are very long. After registration at the city hall a local police officer will visit your flat to verify that you are really living there. Once the police officer gives a positive approval to the city hall you will need to go a 2nd time to the city hall to complete the administration process. So you need to be in Belgium to complete whole process.
