Belgium is a monarchy headed by a king. The King has limited political power, but he is a strong symbol of the country.

As an applicant for international protection, you may work as a volunteer. This is a good way to meet new people, learn the language and gain new experiences.

Asylum seekers must respect the rules of the reception centre. 

Are you a victim of human trafficking or human smuggling? Are you exploited by an employer, forced to beg, work as a prostitute or commit a crime? Then you can get protection in Belgium under certain conditions.

Most shops in Belgium are open from 10am until 6pm, Monday to Saturday. Shops are closed on Sundays.

If, as an asylum seeker, you are not staying in a reception centre, you can still get medical assistance.
