five top tips

  • 01Learn French or Dutch, especially if you are coming long-term. If you have children this is even more important and will assist them to integrate.
  • 02Learn the Belgian rules of the road as they are a little different to other places and can be complicated.
  • 03Join expat groups by all means but remember that Belgians do exist too, and many expats make the mistake of never getting to know them properly.
  • 04Make the most of summer. Winters are wet, cold and gloomy and involve largely indoor activities.
  • 05Bring as many personal documents as possible (birth, driving, examination certificates), they will help in many different bureaucratic situations.
