Working as a Certified Surveyor on a Temporary and Occasional Basis

You can work as a certified surveyor on a temporary and occasional basis if you are a citizen of a Member State of the European Union, the European Economic Area or Switzerland. In such cases, you must meet the following conditions:

• you are legally established in another Member State and working as a certified surveyor, and
• if the profession of certified surveyor is not regulated in the original Member State, you have worked as a certified surveyor in one or more Member State(s) for at least one year during the ten years prior to your provision of services in Belgium.

The Order of Certified Surveyors assesses the temporary and occasional nature of service provision on a case-by-case basis, particularly in terms of duration, frequency, periodicity and continuity.

Are you working as a certified surveyor on a temporary and occasional basis in Belgium for the first time? You must inform the  Order of Certified Surveyors in advance by means of a written declaration. You must provide information on your insurance cover or other means of personal or group protection that give you professional liability.

You must renew this declaration once a year if you intend to provide temporary and occasional services in Belgium during the year in question. You can provide the declaration by any means.

When providing services for the first time or in the event of a material change in the situation set out in the documents, you must also provide the following documents:

• proof of nationality;
• a declaration certifying that:
  • you are legally established in a Member State,
  • you are working there as a certified surveyor,
  • when the declaration was issued, you were not subject to any ban on practising, even temporarily;
• proof of your professional qualifications;
• if the profession is not regulated in your original Member State, any kind of proof that you have practised the activities in question for at least one year during the last ten years.
