Explanation
The Expat Welcome Desk (EWD) offers tailored administrative support to anyone coming to Brussels to work in or around the European and international institutions. https://www.commissioner.brussels/en/i-am-an-expat/
It also serves as a portal with information on the various topics which concern newcomers and which should help them with their orientation, such as housing, social security, residence, etc….
In addition, a “settle down guide” was created which explains, step by step, all the actions one needs to take to settle in the Brussels Region.
