Is Antwerp the right move? A deep dive into life in Belgium's Diamond City

Antwerp offers expats an appealing mix of affordability, cultural richness, and strong job prospects, particularly through its bustling port. While housing remains reasonably priced and public transport comprehensive, newcomers face challenges like Europe's highest tax rates and potential language barriers with Dutch being predominant. The city shines with its multicultural tolerance, outdoor lifestyle, and vibrant entertainment scene, though winter months bring limited daylight and frequent rain. Despite infrastructure quirks and housing complexities, Antwerp's ranking among the world's fastest-growing cities reflects its rising appeal for international residents. Pros en cons of living in Antwerp.

Can I view the apartment before confirming it?

Whenever practically possible, we are happy to make a viewing appointment for you. However, if the landlord is not available or if the current tenant of the apartment does not consent to a viewing, then it is unfortunately not possible. But not to worry, because most apartments on our platform are verified by a Globexs staff member.

What documents do I need to book a Globexs apartment?

We verify the identity and solvency of all tenants. We need the following information / documentation:

  • Your current address
  • A valid government-issued identity document for each person moving in. 
  • If you are an employee: a copy of your employment contract or current payslips 
  • If your company pays the rent for you: a confirmation that they cover the monthly rent. 
  • If you are self-employed or a freelancer: financial evidence to confirm that you have enough financial liquidity to cover the monthly rent (e.g. a current bank account statement)
  • If you are a student / intern: proof of enrollment or internship and financial evidence (e.g. a current bank account statement) or security by a third party including an income statement and a copy of the guarantor's ID or passport
