Labour migration is no longer just a policy topic discussed in Brussels — it is something many employers are dealing with in practice today. Whether you are already hiring international talent, facing ongoing labour shortages, or simply trying to understand the rules better, the subject is becoming more relevant every year. In 2026, the Advisory Committee on Economic Migration will publish a series of factsheets to make labour migration easier to understand. These short, practical documents offer clear and reliable information on what labour migration is, how the procedures work, and what employers need to take into account.
The goal is simple: to make correct information easier to find and use, and to bring more clarity and nuance into the public debate.
The factsheets explain key questions such as:
- What exactly is labour migration, and who does it apply to?
- What steps are involved when hiring a non-EU worker?
- What are the employer’s responsibilities?
- Which procedures matter most in Belgium and Flanders?
GOOD TO KNOW: the factsheets are available in Dutch. For international companies based in Limburg, we are happy to help if you need an explanation in English or support tailored to your situation. Just reach out through our website contact form, and we will get back to you quickly.
DISCLAIMER: the factsheets are meant to present the situation in a simple and accessible way. They are not legal documents.
