Working abroad via Amplo

Working Abroad While Staying Affiliated in Belgium

 

Are you temporarily based abroad while carrying out creative work for one or more clients?

Thanks to the detachment scheme, you can remain under the Belgian social security system — even while living abroad.

 

Here’s what it means:

 

·        You stay affiliated with Belgian social security

·        You continue building your pension and social rights

·        You retain your possible artist status

·        You are covered by a valid international insurance

·        You work under a Belgian contract

 

Amplo handles all administrative steps, including the A1 form request, so you can focus fully on your work.

 

Working with Foreign Clients from Belgium

 

 

You don’t need to move to work internationally.
If you're based in Belgium, you can sign contracts with clients around the world: Europe, the UK, the US, Canada, Switzerland... and many more.

 

With Amplo:

 

·        You work under a legally valid Belgian contract

·        You receive full administrative support

·        You stay covered by Belgian social protection

·        You don’t need to start your own business or register abroad

 

International projects are exciting — but they also come with risks. We ensure a clear, safe framework for you and your clients.

 

Working with Swiss clients?

 

Did you know Amplo is also active in Switzerland?
Our Amplo Swiss team offers local support tailored to your contracts and admin — with the same service quality you know from Amplo.

 

Being on the ground allows us to bridge your international ambitions with local realities — practical and personal.

Creativity knows no borders

 

The creative sector is, by nature, international.
Artists, technicians, and makers increasingly collaborate across borders.
In this context, it’s not nationality that counts — it’s your passion and your vision.

 

More and more countries are looking closely at how Belgium supports its creatives — through the artist certificate, a tailored social system, and a balance between flexibility and protection.
Unlike the French intermittent model, which is showing its limits, Belgium offers a more efficient, cost-effective and sustainable alternative.

 

 

Invoicing international copyrights

 

Are your works distributed abroad? Then your copyrights apply internationally too.
Amplo allows you to invoice international clients for copyright royalties, fully compliant with the Belgian tax system.
That way, you continue to enjoy tax benefits — even when working with foreign clients.

 

The Amplo approach works – even internationally

 

Our approach — personal, knowledgeable and engaged — resonates beyond Belgium too.
Our local teams are industry insiders who build bridges between national regulations and your international ambitions.

 

Our platform Crewbooking, for booking and recruitment in the creative sector, is also growing beyond Belgium.
We collaborate with strong organizations and talented freelancers across various countries — even beyond the cultural field.
