Before moving to Belgium, use this handy checklist to make sure nothing is missed:
Here is a list of the necessary documents to have “on hand” for your move:
Look into healthcare. Similar to the UK and other parts of Europe, healthcare in Belgium is publicly funded. To have access to it you need to be filing taxes in Belgium. You will receive a healthcare card to use each time you visit the doctor, hospital, or require other healthcare services.
Within 8 days of your arrival to Belgium, you need to register your residency at the local town hall. If you are moving to Belgium from Europe, you have 3 months to complete it. This is a standard procedure once moving to a new country, which will also help you in opening a bank account and accessing many other services.
If you are moving to Belgium, you might also need to consider job opportunities. Depending on what your profession is, you might find many interesting positions available.
Language is not a barrier for some of the jobs available. Belgium has a high percentage of individuals speaking and working in English.
Belgium has several widely spoken languages: French and Flemish are primary languages, while many also speak German and English. Although you can likely get around in the major cities using English, it’s generally a good idea to learn some basics in the local language. It will make life a bit easier at times.
The major cities in Belgium can be quite expensive in terms of housing and rental prices. Affordability often depends on your city of origin and destination.
If you’re moving from London, you might not find the pricing so high. If you’re moving from a less expensive city in Europe, it could be quite expensive.
Brussels is the most expensive city in the country, with monthly rents as high as £1,000 to £3,000 depending on the size of apartment and location. It’s always good to do a bit of research before deciding to move so you know what to expect!
