Post new topic

Hi guys, anybody have idea of how long the process for registering yourself in the Geemente (Antwerp) and also  for the connection of  water , internet and others?

Thanks.

Registration for the city hall just takes time to do the paperwork. However, it will be formally approved when a police officer has visited the accommodation you have chosen.

For connections (water, gas, electricity, internet, ...), it's hard to say because it always depends on the circumstances. The accommodation you've chosen, is it OK? Because each company has its own parameters. But on average, it can take by one to several weeks ... Because a technician must always come check before giving permission to commissioning.

hartelijke bedankt! ;-)
