Relocating to a new country requires extensive planning. Customs rules can add complexity to the process — don't let them slow you down. Alongside detailed planning for each step of your move, we can assist and guide you through the customs paperwork, ensuring you are fully covered.
Whether you need storage before your move to Belgium or after returning to the UK, we can offer a secure and dry storage facility.
We can safely and securely transport pianos between the UK and Belgium, whether upright or grand.
Gentlevan Removals originated as a small man-and-van business in 2011. From day one, our focus has been on a problem-solving approach and a hassle-free moving experience. Whether you are moving locally, across the UK, or from the UK to Belgium, you can trust that your cherished belongings will be handled with expertise and care.
After Brexit, UK citizens wishing to move to Belgium no longer enjoy the freedom of movement. The process has become more complex — UK nationals now require a visa for prolonged stays, and it is crucial to research the most appropriate visa type based on your specific needs. Ensure thorough preparation before arriving on Belgian soil.
For long-term residency in Belgium from non-EU countries, the D visa is the most applicable option. This long-stay visa allows holders to reside for three to six months and apply for a residence permit. Requirements may include:
Household goods can be imported duty-free within one year following the official change of residence. Where all documents are unavailable, a guarantee (bond) of 10% customs duties + 21% VAT may apply. Belgium no longer allows duty-free entry for secondary residences.
Belgium is one of the UK's closest European neighbours — and a popular destination for professionals relocating to Brussels for work with the EU institutions, NATO, or the many multinational companies based there. Families moving to Antwerp, Ghent, or Bruges are drawn by the high quality of life, excellent schooling, and easy travel links back to the UK.
Post-Brexit, moving to Belgium requires customs documentation and proof of residence, but the process is well-established. Gentlevan Removals has helped many customers relocate to Belgium and handles all the paperwork, inventory declarations, and customs clearance — so your belongings arrive without delays or unexpected charges.
The cost depends on the volume of your belongings, the origin and destination addresses, and the service type (shared or dedicated load). A shared load is more economical for smaller volumes. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your move.
On a part load, delivery is typically within 7–14 days of collection. For a dedicated load, delivery is much faster — usually within 2–4 days of collection, depending on the route and access.
Yes, we can transport a standard-size vehicle alongside your household items, provided the required paperwork is in order.
Yes. Post-Brexit, customs documentation is required. We assist and guide you through the paperwork, including the inventory, passport copies, proof of residence, and the Belgian customs declaration. We've done this many times and will make sure everything is in order.
We offer secure, dry storage in the UK — ideal if there's a gap between leaving your UK home and moving into your new Belgian property, or vice versa.
