Hi
I am currently trying to complete the first stage of what appears to be quite a lengthy process of applying for residency as a UK citizen to work in Belgium for about a year or whatever.

There is a requirement to provide a VOW reference in one of the forms. Please can anyone explain what that is and where I get it from in order to complete the form.

Best wishes
Cecilia

Hello,

it's the number of your file on https://visaonweb.diplomatie.be
Once you submit it, you'll get a reference, something like VOWxxxxx if I remember correctly.
