Does the Belgian ban on anonymous SIM-cards apply to foreign SIMs?

Upvote:3

It's illegal to sell a SIM-card anonymously (this applies to stores) and it's illegal to have non-registered SIM-cards (this applies to providers).

It's up to the providers to make sure that no-one can use a SIM-card of them without being registered. Some let the stores register the SIM-card and the users info. Others made an app where the users can register themselves.

So only the Belgian providers and the SIM-cards they distributed have to be bound to a verified person.

This link provides some additional info (it is in Dutch).

No! You'll be able to use your UK SIM card just fine. As an example, I've been using my prepaid T-Mobile SIM (US) in Belgium with no problems.
