Hi Everyone! I am a very interested in transferring to antwerp for family reasons. My filipino husband is here in holland with schengen visa. I was advised by a lawyer and confirmed it by the immigration police in our area to transfer to belgium with him and our child so that he can stay under EU family law with no problems since I and my child are dutch citizens. That is my main reason why I really need to transfer to antwerp as soon as I can. Pls. excuse me for sharing my life :-). I just don't know where to start and kinda desperated to find any job and place to stay in Antwerp as soon as possible. Any help pls :-( I am really willing to sacrifice my life here in holland just to keep my family whole.  :sosad:

You get in a car or a train and move and then go to the gemeentehuis, it is so simple.
