Persons who have acquired long-term resident status [1] in Belgium are treated like Belgian workers, i.e. they do not need a work permit. Persons who have acquired long-term resident status in another EU country can profit from a fast-track procedure for work permits for professions for which it is officially recognised that labour is short.
Foreigners resident in Belgium are issued with a Belgian resident card (Dutch: Verblijfstitel, French: Titre de séjour, German: Aufenthaltstitel), which appears similar, but is legally distinct. Nevertheless, the term "identity card" is often used to refer to both the identity cards issued to citizens and the resident cards issued to foreigners.
The residence card should clearly state that the holder is a family member of an EU national. People who aren't EEA citizen family members but have a residence permit in the EEA for other reasons will get a similar residence permit card. Holders of an EU family member's residence card don't need to obtain a visa in the entire EU.
Permanent residency itself is distinct from right of abode, which waives immigration control for such persons. Persons having permanent residency still require immigration control if they do not have right of abode. However, a right of abode automatically grants people permanent residency. This status also gives work permit in most cases. [1]

The blue card proposal presented by the European Commission offers a one-track procedure for non-EU citizens to apply for a work permit, which would be valid for up to three years, but can be renewed thereafter. Blue card status also carries other rights, such as favourable family reunification rules.
