Hi everyone,

My name is Felipe, and I am from Brazil. I have recently signed a contract to work in Belgium as a Data Manager, and I am currently waiting for the Single Permit to be issued by the Office des Etrangers so I can request a visa and schedule a date to move.

My fiancée (British) will be moving along, and we hope to sort out her documentation before the Brexit transition period finishes. So will our dog, which is apparently more complicated than we anticipated, with all flight regulations for pets...

I have already found really useful information in this forum, so I'm really glad to have found it. Thanks everyone.

Hello
I am Ally, originally from Scotland but moved here from the UAE. I arrived in Brussels just before the lockdown.

I have been looking for a website that provides me with a range of information about living and working in Brussels, and I hope this is it!
Any advice on which area to live and best websites for jobs would be appreciated.

Hi my name is Mathew, and I've been living here for six and a half years. Due to a relationship break up, I need to get out there and make friends. Male/ female/ for a coffee or a beer. I have only ever worked and gone home. So I've never made any friends.  All my work colleagues live in Antwerp, and are Spanish. Would be nice to meet people. Thanks.

HI I run a coliving business in Brussels but have also been an expat here for over 20 years. I found it very lonely in the beginning which is why I started my company, Morton Place. Hopefully I can share some of my knowledge about Brussels and being an expat.

Hey everyone, I'm Portuguese, and soon I expect to move to Antwerp!

Hi,
I'm an expat living in Belgium.
What brings me to this forum is trying to find answers to a problem I had receiving a gift from a family member.

I'd probably be interested in socializing more in the future with people I meet here.  I'd also be happy to share advice on my experiences if they're of help to anyone.

Hi,
I'm Desm0ond0 (there is already a Desmondo it seems).
I've been living in Belgium since 2001, working for a global company.
With the constantly changing and increasing Covid rules I feel more need from the expat community to know what is possible.
