general moving info. from the u.s.a. to Antwerp

Get off the plane.
Go to your parents' house.
Go within 8 days to the gemeentehuis with a letter from parents saying where you live.
Present your Dutch passport and wife's US passport.
Demand 3 months provisional EU treaty rights for yourself.
Demand EU treaty rights for your wife - she'll be on a 6 month probation.
In the first 3 months, hopefully you'll get a job and you can return to the gemeentehuis toget a 5 years residence. Best to ask for an E card.
Then in 6 months, return to the gemeentehuis to get your wife an F card which is obligatory.
Once you've found somewhere to live, if you change gemeente, go to new gemeentehuis and any remaining parts to registration will continue there. If you stay in the same gemeente, just inform the gemeentehuis of your new address.
You can open a bank account immediately and once you have initial registration papers from the gemeentehuis, you'll be able to make withdrawals and have a bank card.

thanks for the response
