Looking for German Expats in Belgium?

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our German members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

Of course, expat living in Belgium is not just about shipping your belongings and filing in some bureaucratic papers. Regular socializing with fellow Germans is an essential part of expat life and helps getting accustomed to the Belgian way of life and mentality. InterNations helps you connect and meet up with other Germans in Belgium, residing in Brussels, Antwerp, Leuven and many other places throughout the country. Just take a look at our group of Germans in Brussels or Germans in Antwerp.

If you ever wish to have a chat in your native language, discover where to shop for German food or discuss your favorite sports team's latest match, become a member of the Belgian InterNations Community:

• Look up our top quality network to get to know open-minded expats from Germany in Belgium.
• Obtain and share insider tips in our Belgium Expat Forums – e.g. how to hire a babysitter fluent in your native tongue for your children or where to get roast pork with Knödel in Antwerp.
• Search the InterNations Places database for Belgium to get information on institutions from your home country, including the German embassy.

From the French-influenced provinces of the Walloon Region to the Flemish North, we’ll help you connect with supportive and friendly German expats in Belgium.

Moreover, please feel free to attend our regular expat events and activities in Belgium. Our get-togethers are very diverse and range from a cozy gathering to enjoy the traditional Belgian pommes frites, to big expat celebrations with hundreds of participants in Brussels’s best locations.
