Moving from the UK to Belgium

Belgium punches well above its weight as a destination for UK expats. The presence of the EU institutions in Brussels — the European Commission, the Council of the EU and the European Parliament — means a significant number of British civil servants, lobbyists, lawyers and policy professionals make the move each year. Antwerp's diamond trade, port logistics and fashion industry add further draw.

Geographically, Belgium is the closest mainland European country to the UK — Brussels is just over three hours door-to-door via the Eurotunnel. This makes it a uniquely accessible move, often achievable in a single compact day.

Since Brexit, customs paperwork is required. Our team handles both the UK export declaration and the Belgian import documentation, and we'll advise on the duty-free personal effects exemption if you're eligible.

Key Considerations for Moving to Belgium

Our coordinators guide you through every step — but here's what to be aware of before your move.

Commune Registration

Within 8 days of arriving in Belgium, register at your local commune office. You'll be added to the Register of Foreigners and receive a residence card.

Belgian Language Regions

Belgium has three linguistic regions: Flemish (Dutch-speaking), Wallonia (French-speaking) and Brussels (bilingual). This affects which government services you use and which language official correspondence arrives in.

Customs

Belgium uses EU customs rules. Personal effects qualify for duty-free import under the personal effects exemption if owned 6+ months and you're establishing permanent Belgian residency.

Parking in Brussels

Parking large vehicles in Brussels requires a commune permit. We handle this as part of your move — you don't need to organise it yourself.

Belgium Removals — FAQs

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Contact our team.

How long does a removal from the UK to Belgium take?
Belgium is the fastest European destination from the UK. Most moves to Brussels, Antwerp or Ghent are completed in a single day, including loading, the Eurotunnel crossing and delivery. Bruges and Liège may add an hour or two.
Do I need to speak French or Dutch to complete my move?
No. English is widely spoken in Belgium, particularly in Brussels. Our Belgian contacts and the customs agents we work with all communicate in English. Your move coordinator handles all written communications.
Can I import my car with my household goods?
Yes, cars can be transported in our vehicle or via a separate transporter. Importing a car to Belgium post-Brexit requires customs documentation and Belgian registration.
What is the process for registering in Belgium after my move?
Within 8 days of arrival, visit your local commune with your passport and proof of address. You'll receive a temporary certificate and eventually a biometric residence card.
What if my new property isn't ready when my goods arrive?
We offer short-term storage in Belgium, or can hold your goods in the UK until your address is confirmed. Your move coordinator will discuss the most cost-effective option.
