International secondment

Two employers in different countries

You are insured in the country where you live

If you have two employers - one in the country where you live and one in another country of the EU (European Union) or EEA (European Economic Area) - you will be covered under the social insurance system of the country where you live.

You pay contributions in the country where you live

In both countries, your employers must deduct social insurance contributions from your salary and pay them in the country where you live.

  • More information about the procedures in Belgium is given below under Bureau for Belgian Affairs (Bureau voor Belgische Zaken).
  • For information about other countries, you can call us on (020) 656 52 77.

Having a secondary job in the country where you live

If you only have a small job in the country where you live, we can sometimes arrange for you to be insured for that job in the country where you mainly work. You will then pay social insurance contributions in that country. Fill in the application form and send it to us. We will then try to arrange for you to pay contributions exclusively in the country where you mainly work.
