If you visit city hall, your appointment will be at the Ondernemersplein. With an appointment by phone, we will call you on the date and time of your choosing. Please fill in your phone number and write clearly what the subject of your appointment is when scheduling your meeting.

On Wednesdays, from 8:30 to 11:30 hours, there is an open house at the VTH desk.

Make an appointment at the Ondernemersloket (Business Desk)

You can only make an appointment with the Ondernemersloket for business-related questions. Do you have questions about licences or applying for a passport? Then please make an appointment with VTH or Burgerzaken (Civil Affairs).
