An approved research organisation can sign a hosting agreement with a researcher only if the following conditions are met:
The hosting agreement form, duly filled out and signed by the two parties, must be attached to the application submitted to a Belgian diplomatic post or consulate for a stay permit of over three months in the Kingdom.
Please note that the Hosting Agreement implies rights and duties,
for the researcher as well as for the agreed research organisation.
Therefore, only a person empowered to legally bind the research organisation is authorised to sign the Hosting Agreement.
