The BBCA covers Brussels plus the provinces of Brabant , Hainaut, Liege, Namur and Luxembourg. The Antwerp British Community Association covers the northern part of the Belgium  http://www.abca-antwerp.be/

 UK nationals resident in Belgium before 31 December 2020 need to apply for a new residence card (M-card) under the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement.

You must apply for the new card by 31 December 2021.

There have been technical difficulties in the initial deployment of the M-card, but these appear to have been resolved.

See our new information article on residency under Brexit, the M-card and the application process.
