Arrival centre

After registering your asylum application in Belgium, you can receive a reception place at the Fedasil Arrival Centre. 

The Arrival Centre is located in the 'Petit-Château' in Brussels and is managed by Fedasil, a Belgian government body. 

In the Arrival Centre, you will receive a brochure with information on the steps you will follow in the centre. The brochure is available in several languages. 

Fedasil staff members will ask you some questions about your situation. You will also receive a medical examination to check your health status. We will take an X-ray of your lungs to see if you have tuberculosis.

Reception place

In the Arrival Centre, Fedasil staff members will check whether you are entitled to reception  during the examination of your application for protection. If this is the case, Fedasil will offer you first reception in the Arrival Centre or in another reception centre. You will stay there temporarily.

During your stay, we will find you a place at another reception location in Belgium that is suited to your situation.

How to go to the Arrival Centre?

The Arrival Centre is located in the centre of Brussels: Rue de Passchendaele 2 – 1000 Brussels

Questions about your situation in Belgium?

At the Fedasil Info Point you can ask questions about legal matters, your asylum procedure, work, education and training, administrative procedures, return assistance, medical and psychological assistance and material support.

You cannot ask for a reception place there, for this you have to register on the waiting list for reception.
