Obtaining a single permit for working in Belgium (which may be required for specific personnel, such as those working in specialized shipping or bunkering roles) generally takes about 3-4 months on average. The procedure for a single permit requires a maximum of 90 to 120 days for a final decision.
Bunkering Regulations: As of January 1, 2026, the Port of Antwerp-Bruges is implementing mandatory use of a bunker measurement system, and strict compliance with ISO 13739 for sampling is required for licensed operators.
