Bienvenue enBelgique!
Did you know that Belgium’s secret weapons for attracting visitors are beer, fries, and chocolate?
Belgium has a current population of 11.6 million people.
It is linguistically diverse and has three official languages; Dutch, French, and German. The national anthem, the Brabançonne, is even written in all three languages.
Nonetheless, it is simple to live in Belgium without speaking one of the three official languages, as English is widely spoken.
Belgium is a popular destination for expats due to its central location and is home to many international organizations, including the European Union institutions.
Our BeLux Office
Expat Management Group’s Brussels office opened in 2019 and is located in the old city center, just next to Brussels Central Station.

The team focuses on offering quality immigration and relocation services with special attention to the complex bureaucracy, tense housing market, and the many different routes of immigration policies.

Let’s talk immigration
In Belgium, there are different categories of permits, such as permits for highly qualified employees, intra-corporate transferees, bottleneck professions, and specialized technicians each with their own set of rules and conditions.
To make matters more complex, rules can differ depending on the region, like Walloon, Brussels-Capital, or Flemish regions.
Need help with work permits, document authorizations, visa applications, posted workers or other advice, audit or compliance services?

Belgium?
Finding a rental place in Belgium is less competitive than in other European countries, but we initially recommend staying in temporary accommodation upon arrival so we can find a perfect new home together.
Belgium has a culturally diverse population and is home to many international governmental organizations, especially in Brussels, which is the seat of many European and global institutions.
More than 10% of the population is non-Belgian. As a result, there are a lot of international schools that focus on culturally diverse education, and expats in particular.
Do you have one or more employees moving to Belgium? We understand how much planning goes into this and we're here to support you from start to finish.
