Do you own a real estate agency in Brussels?
What do you need to buy a house in Belgium?
A work position, an attraction for the city on its own, a love story... all reasons are good for coming to Brussels. When you are planning to stay for a long period of time, several options are available renting or buying a property. In the end, the questions stay the same: what area would be the best to live? What are the details you need to focus on when choosing an apartment or a house? In this case, real estate agents will be there to help you. You give them all the information (relaxing or vibrant neighbourhood, access to public transport or car park, and so on) and they will find a suitable home.
Prior to any rent or buy, you will have to accomplish some administrative procedures beforehand. The process is the same whether you come from another European country or not. You shall visit the Brussels local authorities within 3 days in order to make a declaration of arrival. Of course, you will need some documents so that you can fulfil all the requirements:
- a passport or an ID card;
- your medical record, including your vaccines (for you and all the members of your family and even your pets);
- a visa and a residence status issued by the FPS Home Affairs (mandatory for every stay lasting more than 3 months).
The procedure consists in applying for a registration in an office of the City of Brussels or in your local town hall – there are 19 municipalities in Brussels, each having at least one population office. While European citizens are immediately added on the waiting list due to the freedom of movement and establishment inside the Schengen area, non-EU residents have to provide their temporary residence permit (known as visa D) in order to be registered.
Of course, if you are staying for a long time, there are high chances you will have to work (maybe that was the reason for your arrival) and you may also need to drive. In this case, do not forget to bring these other certificates (and have them translated by a sworn translator so that it is legal):
- your school certificates and university degrees;
- a driving licence issued by a country where you have lived at least 6 months as well as a statement of your ex-insurers if you have had any car accident or not;
- a declaration of commitment for all salaried workers or a registration of the BCE for independent workers is a plus.
