Organize your move to Belgium from southern Europe

Preparing for a move requires organization and anticipation to avoid being taken aback, but also to be able to deal with the unexpected more effectively. These two qualities are even more necessary for a move across Europe, from France or Spain, to Belgium. Maison Genné shares some valuable tips for a successful move across Europe.

Administrative formalities for moving to Belgium from southern Europe

In a trans-European move to Belgium, it is not just about moving furniture and boxes. The road is long and administrative formalities related to a change of country can be just as long. Thus, to settle in Belgium from Spain, it is necessary to register with the consulate of the host country. This process is essential to obtain a residence permit or open a bank account. The vehicle must also pass a technical inspection and benefit from a new registration.

Even if you come to Belgium from France with just the border to cross, you are also subject to regulatory and tax constraints, such as, for example, obtaining your European health card. Requesting an global mobility service from a moving company is not superfluous.

Protecting your objects during a move from France or Spain

In the context of such an intra-European move, it is also necessary to ensure the protection of your furniture and your personal effects during transport. With an often very long journey, goods and objects risk being damaged if they are poorly protected by inappropriate packaging and moving boxes.

The help of an experienced company for a move to Belgium

Another piece of legislation that is often overlooked is the days allowed on highways for trucks, which vary from country to country and even from moment to moment.

When you move from France or Spain to Belgium, it’s not just about moving furniture and boxes. These administrative and motorway regulations and the hazards of traveling across Europe from south to north add stress to stress. It is, therefore, wiser, safer and more restful to seek help from a professional moving company. It accompanies you in administrative procedures. And, after a preliminary inventory, the professional firm draws up a list of the appropriate moving equipment.
