Belgium has six administrative detention centres which are managed by the Immigration Office.
The regime and functioning of the detention centres are laid down in the law of 15/12/1980 and the royal decree of 02/08/2002.
The purpose of detention is to ensure the effective removal of persons who have been refused entry to or residence in the territory.
The law stipulates the reasons for which administrative detention of certain persons in detention centres may be decided and the maximum duration of detention.
