Tips and Advice on the Netherlands from Your Fellow Belgian Expats
Obviously, expat life in the Netherlands goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow Belgians is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Dutch mentality and way of life. Belgians in the Netherlands are a part of our community, calling cities such as The Hague, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Belgians in Amsterdam, for example.
