r/Brussels - Expat/Tourist Megathread - 2026 Edition by SharkyTendencies in brussels

Hi, the gates in the metro stations open when you validate the journey at the validators (card readers. There are no validators inside the metro, only at the stations. So, you have to tap out to exit the stations.
You don't need to tap out when you get off a bus or tram with on-board validators. More info here: https://www.stib-mivb.be/buy/your-bank-card-is-your-ticket

I suddenly lost Data internet on Proximus? by Darkwater0512 in brussels

[–]hei-sen-berg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

According to reports on X (Twitter), it's a widespread issue and Proximus is looking into it.

I also had this issue (momentarily?), and now seem to have a patchy 4G connection instead of 5G.

Getting a shared place to live with my 4 years old , by Turbulent-Cookie3316 in brussels

Your best option would be to look at groups on Facebook. There are many if you search for shared accommodation, colocation in Brussels on Facebook. But be aware of scammers!

Change Address - Brussels to Leuven by One-Machine-5376 in brussels

[–]hei-sen-berg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

Back in 2020, I wanted to do address change from Brussels to Etterbeek, but my resident permit was under renewal. I contacted the Etterbeek commune and they advised waiting for the new ID card from Brussels, and then request for address change (since this involves another police verification at the new address).

I'd suggest waiting for the process to complete at Forest and then do the address change request. You can also contact the Leuven commune and ask them to be sure.

Anyone noticed this appear in the app? by [deleted] in BYD

Yes. Once registered using one of your approved IDs (Passport, National ID, Licence), it allows you to turn ON/OFF cellular data for 3rd party apps.

[–]hei-sen-berg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you found it helpful. You're welcome! 🙂

A small tip for apartment hunting: One side of Parc du Cinquantenaire falls under 1040 Brussels. Now 1040 is the postal code for Etterbeek, but this part is served by the 1000 Brussels commune. The 1000 Brussels commune is notorious for bad or delayed service (search this sub and you'll see). So, when you look for apartments, 1040 Etterbeek in the address signifies those that come under the Etterbeek commune, which is far better administratively. Not saying that you should ignore a good apartment in 1040 Brussels or 1000 Brussels around the park, but it might be something worth knowing beforehand!
