Temporary seasonal work permit for non-EU workers in agriculture, renewable up to 150 days within any 365-day period.
Belgium's Seasonal Worker Visa is a temporary work authorization under EU Directive 2014/36/EU for non-EU nationals seeking short-term agricultural employment while maintaining residence outside the EU. This visa fills labor gaps without offering permanent residence pathways.
The permit allows up to 150 days within any 365-day period and is renewable within that cap. The contribution fee is EUR 152. Processing takes 60 to 90 days. Dependents cannot accompany the worker and family reunification is unavailable. No educational requirements apply.
This visa is ideal for agricultural workers from third countries seeking temporary seasonal employment in Belgium while maintaining their primary residence abroad.
