Settling down in the Brussels-Capital Region entails tackling some immediate practical questions such as opening a bank account, choosing an energy supplier for your home, taking a health insurance, finding a baby-sitter….
On a daily basis, it is more convenient to use a Belgian bank account for the various banking operations. Formalities to open a bank account may vary from one bank to another.
As in the other major cities, sorting waste is compulsory in the Brussels-Capital Region. It is therefore necessary to be familiar with the Belgian colour code of the different bin bags and the practical details.
Finally, language is a vector of culture. That is why, in order to help you integrate in the Brussels-Capital Region, different language courses and conversation tables are available. This is an opportunity for you to meet and interact with different people.
