From your US home to Brussels, Antwerp or Ghent, GRC handles every detail of your move to Belgium.
Belgium has three official languages depending on the region — French in the south (Wallonia), Dutch in the north (Flanders), and German in a small eastern region. Brussels is officially bilingual (French/Dutch). Choose your neighborhood with language in mind.
Belgium is the heart of Europe — home to the EU and NATO, with world-class food, excellent healthcare, and a central location that puts all of Europe within easy reach.
Belgium has excellent healthcare with a mandatory insurance system. You'll need to register with a mutuelle/mutualiteit. Costs are moderate and largely reimbursed. Choose your own doctor.
More affordable than neighboring France or the Netherlands. Brussels is moderately priced for a capital. Beer, chocolate, and waffles are cheap — dining out is reasonable.
Excellent train network (SNCB/NMBS) connecting all major cities in under 2 hours. Brussels has metro, trams, and buses. Belgium's central location means Paris, Amsterdam, and London are all a short train ride away.
Belgians are warm, understated, and food-obsessed. Each city has its own character. Beer culture is a UNESCO-recognized tradition — with 1,500+ varieties to explore.
Good public schools following Belgian curriculum. International schools abundant in Brussels (European School, BSB, ISB). Universities are affordable and well-regarded.
Register at your local commune within 8 days of arrival. Get your residence card. Open a bank account (BNP Paribas Fortis, ING, KBC). Apply for a mutuelle for healthcare coverage.
Belgium has a temperate maritime climate — mild but overcast. Rain is frequent year-round. Similar to the UK but slightly more continental.
Belgium's cities are compact and charming. Here are the neighborhoods where American expats feel most at home.
Vibrant, diverse neighborhood near the EU quarter. Great restaurants, cafés, and nightlife. Many expats and EU workers live here.
Green, residential commune popular with families. Near international schools and the Bois de la Cambre park. Quieter, suburban feel.
Beautiful Art Nouveau architecture and a bohemian vibe. Antwerp is Belgium's fashion and diamond capital — trendy, creative, and Dutch-speaking.
Medieval charm meets university energy. Ghent is walkable, affordable, and one of Europe's most underrated cities. Excellent food scene.
Fairytale medieval city with canals and cobblestones. Smaller and quieter — perfect for those who prefer a peaceful, picture-perfect setting.
University town with a young, international population. Just 25 minutes from Brussels by train. Great beer scene (home of AB InBev).
Whether you're moving for work, family or a fresh start, GRC manages the logistics so you can focus on your new life in Belgium.
Full-service packing, crating, and shipping of your personal belongings and furniture by ocean or air freight — door to door from the U.S. to Belgium.
