In plain language

  • A clear legal framework is established for how the Immigration Office collects, stores, and shares your personal data under European privacy rules.
  • Foreign nationals applying for a visa or residence permit in Belgium, their family members or sponsors, and the relevant public authorities.
  • You have a clearer understanding of what details the authorities may process about you — such as ID data, financial information, or health records — and how your privacy is protected.
