      If renting and assuming that you don't have kids of school age, where Tervuren and Waterloo are your best bets, I am a big big fan of Genval (30 mins into town), as close as you can get to the lake. Sept Fontaines is great - if you need a palace.

      Living in Brussels center - well I guess if you eat out a lot, but it is hideously expensive to eat out, also your solcial life will mostly involve Eurocrats.

      Buy this place and you can watch my dad in his underpants in the morning

        His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

            Permanent residency in a Schengen state is automatically valid in all other Schengen states, so effectively your residency will apply to virtually all countries in the EU, including Norway and Switzerland.


            Congratulations.

                    Been offered a permie job in Brussels with all the benefits and a nice relocation package so will take that while I figure out how the Belgies work with contracting.
                    Missus working out her notice and we move next month.
                    Looking forward to a new adventure - probably the last one before retirement in Portugal, yay
                    that's nice.
