What exactly is a flexi-job?

A flexi-job is a form of employment that lets you earn extra income tax-free and with social benefits on top of a main activity. It often involves people who are already retired or who work at least 4/5 for another employer. Students can also do a flexi-job under certain conditions.

What are the conditions for doing a flexi-job?

Not everyone is automatically eligible. In short:

You must already have a main activity (such as being retired or having a permanent job of at least 4/5).
You may not work for your own employer where you are already permanently employed.
There are also sectoral collective labour agreements (CLAs) that may impose extra conditions.

Can you do a flexi-job as a student?

Yes, but only under certain conditions. For example, you must already have another main activity (e.g. you are a self-employed student or you work as a student worker outside the student contract). So it is more the exception than the rule.
