Hi everyone,

I am a 27-year-old Belgian citizen with a valid Belgian passport. However, I currently live and am registered in Germany and do not have a residential address in Belgium, although I still have close family living there.

The IEC requirements for Belgium state that applicants must prove they are residents of Belgium and provide a residential or mailing address in Belgium.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or knows whether Belgian citizens living in another EU country are still eligible for the Belgian IEC Working Holiday category?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Your question includes the answer. You must be a resident of Belgium.
