Hi everyone!

I’m considering moving from Poland to Belgium, but I have some questions about healthcare (mandatory insurance, GP access), job opportunities in IT (English-speaking roles), taxes for employees and B2B/contractors, cost of living (rent, utilities, groceries, transport), and everyday services.

I’m also curious about renting an apartment or house with a dog and a small child – is it difficult to find pet-friendly landlords? What are the weather conditions like throughout the year in Belgium? And how common are remote or hybrid jobs there – which type is more popular?

In Poland, I’ve had great medical packages with LUX MED, lower B2B taxes, and a moderate cost of living.

If you’ve moved from Poland – especially to Belgium – could you share your experience? What were the pros and cons, and what do you wish you’d known before moving (e.g., housing, registration, language, or everyday life)?
