Permits & rules

Rules, simply explained

Flanders

In Flanders, every tourist accommodation must be registered with Toerisme Vlaanderen before the first guest arrives, and the registration number has to appear in every listing, as EU rules also require from 2026. We prepare the registration, check fire safety and your building's rules, and handle the local tourist tax.

We prepare the paperwork. You sign.
