Living in Belgium
British citizens and those from other EU countries don’t need a work permit or visa to live and work in Belgium. If you live in Belgium in retirement you can receive your UK state pension either in a UK or Belgium bank account.
For residency it is mandatory to register at your local commune (town hall) within 8 days of your arrival. You will initially be issued with a temporary residence card, which is valid for three months. A permanent residents card will be granted once you have joined the Belgian social security system by registering with a mutuelle (French)/ Ziekenfonds (Dutch).
You will find that a lot of the expat families in the Brussels area live in the towns of Overijse and Tervuren, mainly because of the presence of the International schools there. Typically you will find the expats in upscale areas in and round the capital; Ukkel (in dutch) or Uccle (in French) being one community closer to the center of Brussels. There is a quite large international presence in Brussels because of the European Community and many corporate HQ’s. Brussels is a city, but unlike many other capitals it is small scale with hardly any high buildings. It has excellent cultural offerings and many European destinations can be reached within a few hours. Belgians tend to be liberal thinkers. They legalised euthanasia in 2002, and gay marriage in 2003. A 2007 European Report stated Belgium has the lowest salary gap between men and women in the EU after Malta. Belgium has the highest proportion of female ministers in the world (55% in 2000) and was one of the first to have a female parliamentarian, in 1921.
