Backpacking or traveling in Belgium?

  • Alee! You want to travel to Belgium, the country of beer, chocolate and a far too complicated state structure that makes even the smartest politician dizzy. However, the country has much more to offer than these culinary highlights, such as beautiful walks, beautiful old cities and friendly people (in the pub at least).
  • Spotting activities: shop in Antwerp; walk, cycle or climb in the Ardennes; visit the picturesque Dinant; climb the Sint Rumboutstoren in Mechelen; relax in the thermal baths of Spa; visit the Atomium in Brussels and visit the beautiful Bruges.
  • Spotting animals: wild boars, foxes, beavers, Flemish Giants, storks.
  • Spotting food: Flemish fries of course, chocolate, waffles, mussels, stew, shrimp croquettes, speculoos, orval cheese, cuberdons.

Studying in Belgium?

  • Belgium is known for its top universities and excellent chocolate shops. If you are having a hard time studying, you can at least fight your sadness with chocolate. There are many possibilities, but popular study programs are law, economics and Burgundian enjoyment. And student life is very pleasant if you like pubs.
  • Study cities: Leuven, Ghent, Brussels, Antwerp.
  • Language: Dutch, French and German.
Back to top

Internships in Belgium?

  • There are all kinds of internships possible in Belgium. Interesting possibilities can be with EU institutions, multinationals, the cultural sector, NGOs or in technology.

Volunteering in Belgium?

  • If you want to do volunteer work in Belgium, you can mainly rely on part-time volunteer work. However, private individuals sometimes offer room and board via volunteer websites for some help.

Working in Belgium?

  • There is a lot of work to be found in Belgium, but for temporary work you can think of the catering industry and tourism in the winter and summer seasons. Work at a campsite, in a hotel, guide tours and activities or try to get a much-coveted spot with a festival crew. Working as a digital nomad in Belgium?
  • Belgium is a comfortable country for digital nomads - not only because of the good internet and the many facilities, but also because of the delicious food and lots of beer (if you like it). It is also quite affordable compared to neighboring countries.
  • Favorite locations: Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Leuven.
Back to top

Living in Belgium?

  • Living in Belgium means enjoying the best fries, chocolate and beer, combined with a rich culture, many outdoor activities and history.
  • Why, why not? Well, the reason is already mentioned above and on top of that it is also well connected to the rest of Europe. So you can easily go somewhere else if you are tired of Belgium. However, it can be rainy, in the cities you sometimes have to be careful in certain neighborhoods and the complex government structure can be confusing.
  • Education: Belgium has excellent schools.
  • Expat community: There is a large and diverse expat community, especially in Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent.
  • Safety: Quite safe (if you can resist your appetite). Health insurance: healthcare is excellent, but make sure you have good health insurance.

What to take to Belgium: brief

To pack and check
  • Documents and money: a valid identity card or passport is sufficient for travelers from the EU, but for most other nationalities, a visa might be required. Belgium uses the euro, and you can pay by debit card or contactless payment almost everywhere. A small amount of cash can be handy for markets, chip shops, or a local café.
  • Clothing: layers! Belgium is known for changeable weather, with sun, rain, and wind all on the same day. A good raincoat or folding umbrella is almost always a good idea, regardless of the season. Furthermore, clothing depends on the season you are going in.
  • Shoes: comfortable sneakers are ideal for cities like Bruges, Ghent, and Brussels, where you will be walking on cobblestones a lot. When you are visiting the Ardennes, bring comfortable hiking boots with good grip.
  • Personal care and hygiene: sunscreen.
  • Packing and protection: a rain cover for your backpack and possibly a dry bag if you intend to do a lot of hiking or cycling.
  • Insects and animals: mosquito repellent when camping near rivers or lakes during the summer months. Medicines and travel first aid kit: a small first aid kit with plasters, painkillers, and blister plasters is usually sufficient.
  • Outdoors and practicalities: a reusable water bottle, sunglasses, and a reusable bag. Plastic bags are prohibited in shops.
  • Technology and equipment: a travel adapter for type C and E sockets.
To consider
  • Rain trousers for hikes in the Ardennes.
  • Cycling gloves if you plan to explore the many cycling routes.
  • Swimwear for the Belgian coast or wellness centers.
  • An insulated mug for hot chocolate or coffee during winter city walks.
  • A little space in your suitcase for Belgian chocolate, beer glasses, and speculaas.

Insurance for working abroad

Back to top

What is insurance for working abroad?

  • Insuring yourself for working abroad means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid work abroad.
Back to top

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for paid work abroad.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.
  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work.
  • During specific work abroad, additional requirements may apply as soon as you start performing work that involves additional risks. Only special insurance policies offer coverage during this type of work.
  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally do not provide sufficient coverage to apply for a work visa or working holiday visa.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only cover stays abroad for a limited number of days. If your trip or stay abroad exceeds the maximum number of days, this generally means that there will be no coverage for the entire travel period.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only provide coverage for recreational travel without study, internship, or work. If you engage in activities other than recreational activities, this generally means that you will no longer be covered for the entire travel period.
Back to top

  • Insuring yourself for working abroad with animals means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid, unpaid, or internship work abroad, where minor or major risks are involved.
Back to top

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work. All over the world, there are reserves, rescue centers, and zoos where you can roll up your sleeves as a veterinarian, intern, or volunteer. Working with animals or wildlife is not without danger. No matter how cute they may look, or how tame they may behave. All animals can suddenly bite viciously or lash out with a claw or beak. Not only can this result in nasty injuries, but it can also transmit diseases that you would rather not have, and certainly not abroad.
  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.

Why should you take out specialized insurance for emigration or working as an expat abroad?

  • Emigration or expat insurance not only provides coverage for acute assistance in the event of illness or accident abroad, such as travel insurance, but can also provide coverage for existing conditions and ailments or non-urgent care.
  • Emigration or expat insurance does not require you to maintain valid health insurance in your home country.
  • Emigration or expat insurance provides coverage for preventive care or costs related to pregnancy and childbirth.
  • Emigration or expat insurance also provides coverage for long-term treatments and chronic conditions without you having to return to your home country.
  • Emigration or expat insurance often has no restrictions on the duration of the insurance, unlike travel insurance.
  • Emigration or expat insurance usually maintains coverage in cases such as negative travel advice or acts of war.
  • Emigration or expat insurance offers various solutions in the areas of disability, home and household insurance, goods transport, and liability.

What is important to insure when you are going to move abroad?

  • That you have insurance that is valid in the country or countries where you are going to live and/or work.
  • That you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you are going to participate in during your period abroad
  • That you are insured for emergency assistance and early return if something happens to you or your immediate family.
  • That your medical expenses are insured up to the actual cost and not just for the standard costs. The costs per medical treatment vary greatly between countries.
  • That you are well insured against personal liability.
  • That you are well insured in case of accidents.
  • That you pay close attention to choosing the right coverage when performing work with additional health risks
Back to top

When can you also live abroad for a longer period of time with travel insurance?

  • There are also special expiring travel insurance policies that provide coverage without you having valid health insurance in your home country, however, these travel insurance policies are not intended for emigration or expats, but for stays outside your home country of up to a few years, for study, temporary work, volunteer work, and longer trips.

Travel in Belgium?

  • Belgium has a lot to offer: from outdoor activities in the beautiful Belgian Ardennes to great city trips in medieval towns such as Ghent and Bruges. The world port city of Antwerp and Brussels as the ‘Capital of Europe’ also have interesting museums, cozy cafes, terraces, restaurants and beautiful historic buildings. A road trip through the countryside is also worthwhile, with an overnight stay in one of the many castles. Liège waffle, Belgian fries and Belgian specialty beer complete the picture.
  • You never get enough to enjoy outdoor activities such as mountain biking and canoeing in the beautiful Belgian Ardennes!
  • Admire (with many other tourists) Manneke Pis in the center of Brussels.
  • Sail through the medieval canals in Ghent
  • Visit the ‘Musee de la Bataille des Ardennes’ in La Roche-en-Ardennes, where the Ardennes offensive in the Second World War is depicted in an impressive way. Wander through the medieval streets and alleys of Bruges (like an open-air museum).
  • Bruges is famous for its historic centre and is also a good shopping and walking city, because cars are prohibited in most of the centre.
  • A long weekend of relaxation in Ghent is definitely recommended. This Flemish city in the northwest of Belgium exudes a medieval atmosphere and has a lively student life.
  • Antwerp is a diamond city, so a visit to the diamond museum is a must. Antwerp is also one of the largest port cities in Europe with a large harbour on the Scheldt. The Jewish quarter is also nice, where you can eat delicious kosher food.
  • La Roche-en-Ardennes: Very pleasant place in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes. Good base for outdoor activities in the area and famous for its smoked ham.
  • Brussels: This bilingual city (half French, half Flemish) has a number of world-famous sights with the Atomium and Manneke Pis. But also the Grote Markt with its many terraces and impressive buildings is absolutely worth it. Brussels is also seen as the ‘Capital of Europe’ because the European Parliament and the European Commission (worth a visit!) are located here.
  • Be prepared: in every (large) city you have to watch out for pickpockets. Especially in busy tourist places.

Activities abroad

    Back to top

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.
    Back to top

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.
    Back to top

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
