    Hi All,

    I have just discovered this web site and have enjoyed reading the discussions. I was wondering: Resty did you move to Gent? And if Camille and her family moved to France? My husband Jon, 9 yr. old daughter Aerial, and I are here from California. We would really like to stay the summer traveling around Brussels, with a home base in Gent. Jon is from London, but has lived in California for more than 20 years. We are thinking of moving to Europe.

    This question is for anyone who would be so kind to answer. How might we find an apt. to sublet or find a good roommate to share expenses just for the summer? I don't think we would be there more than half the time. We are looking around Gent and our price range if sharing is somewhere around 300-350 Euros per month. Can anyone offer any ideas or know of something? Thanks so much. Looking forward to the Gent music festival. How about you?

    Laura

    Thanks for the information you had shared with Mr.Angostino.
    I am married and planning to relocate to brussels. Is it sufficient if my net take home is 3000 euros per month?

    Thanks

    There's a UN report on the cost of living in Belgium available online. It's from 2006, but I guess the cost of living in Belgium haven't change much since then. You can find it here: http://icsc.un.org/resources/pdfs/2006/pp/Belgium-06.pdf

    Hi Véronique,

    sorry, of course I'll give you more details. The thing is, that I'm going to study in Belgium for either 6 or 12 months, no problem so far. Now my girlfriend (who already finished her education) wants to come with me and work there. We're both Italian. To be honest, I don't even know if she first has to apply for a residence permit or something...it's quite complicated...

    Regards
    Angostino

    Hi Veronique, thanks for that information!
    Do you know if foreigners (from the EU) have to pay income tax in Belgium??

    Hi Camille! Thanks for this information!
    Does anyone have an idea what the average income in Belgium is?
