The Bulletin Newcomer: Autumn issue on sale now

In our autumn special edition, the Bulletin continues its mission to guide you through every aspect of life in Belgium. In the wake of the Brexit decision, we look into the process of obtaining a Belgian passport. The advantages of dual nationality range from the practical to the emotional, whether it be voting in local elections and cheering on the Red Devils, or considering yourself a European citizen. We also show that it’s never been easier to switch utility provider, offer a few pointers on buying property, suggest fun ideas for kids’ activities and invite you to discover the best of Belgian cinema.

We also return with the second edition of our 20-page Health Guide: a directory of local medical services and an opportunity to meet Belgian doctors at the forefront of their field. At a busy Brussels hospital, we go behind the scenes to witness a surgeon perform an operation and hear how he travels to the Democratic Republic of Congo to treat female victims of conflict. We also talk to a new mobile psychiatric team in the capital about the challenges involved in helping children and young people with mental health concerns.

And last but not least, the Bulletin Newcomer contains a full directory of essential information on navigating life in Belgium: the practicalities of moving and working, how to access family services and choose the right school, a run-down of private and public transport and tips on where to go to immerse yourself in local culture.
