Hey! I work for a small company in Belgium and recently we moved from Antwerp to Gent. As I see on Flanders website, it says that I should get my “work authorisation” renewed. However I’m not sure if it’s required since it’s in the same region. Has anybody been through similar situation ? And did you have to renew your “Work authorization”?

Depends on the type of work permit you have. If it is limited, it means you need to apply for a new one every time you change employer. In your case, since employer is the same, I think its okay unless you are moving where you reside then you’d need to register.

If it is unlimited (this takes years to qualify for), then you can change jobs as its not tied to the employer.
