(2024): Calendar days abroad

Enter the number of days you spent in the foreign country (including days on which you did not work). A brief visit counts as a full day.

The time spent abroad does not have to consist of an uninterrupted stay with consecutive days; multiple visits can be added together. If the visit covers several calendar years, specify the entire period of the stay abroad.

Days that are spent exclusively outside the country of occupation, are not counted. Please add an explanatory list if necessary (e.g. travel expenses).

For professional drivers, a list with an hourly list of work abroad is always required.

If you work in Belgium or Denmark, only the days on which you actually stayed to work in the other country are counted. However, in relation to Belgium, usual breaks in work (Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays) must be counted, even if you have not spent them in the country in which you work.

Exception: If you perform your job on board a ship or aircraft operated in international traffic, information about residency days is not required. This exception applies only to the countries for which the double taxation agreement (DBA) contains a special scheme for the taxation of personnel on board ships or aircraft operated in international traffic.
