Partner contribution: Visit Europe's first virtual Expat fair 19/03/2008 00:00
On 24 April 2008, the "First Virtual Expat Fair" is going to take place.
Where? Well, in your own home! With “virtual”, we mean live on the internet, so attending a fair was never easier! Still, it looks like you are attending a “real life” fair with the possibility to visit booths, chat with stand representatives and other attendants, have a live job interview, get relevant information and documentation, and visit live seminars!
The goal of the First Virtual Expat Fair is to bring together expats (or those planning on) living in the Netherlands and organisations that are active in the expat business. You will be able to apply for your perfect multilingual job (Dutch not required!), handle all your banking matters, subscribe for a Dutch Virtual Classroom, become a member of the expat community, find yourself a nice apartment, and much more!
Among the companies present at the fair are:
• Expatica
• Undutchables Recruitment Agency
Visiting the First Virtual Expat Fair is free: all you have to do is sign up beforehand. If you bring along five friends you have the chance of winning an Amazon voucher!
Join us during this exciting new event and sign up now!

- Eileen, Thanks for the information it will be of great help. I have a couple of additional questions, like the cost of a nice 2 or 3 bedroom apartment or home and the cost of a new car as I will be leaving my vehicles behind. Can you lease cars in Belgium? Do most of the apartments and home's come with the full range of appliances like in the US? Are their any web sites you could recommend for shopping for cars, homes or appliances? Thanks again for all your help. Best Regards, Gary Dear Gary, There is a great variation on price of property, depending on area, size, state of renovation etc. , so it is difficult to give you an accurate range, but as a guideline, as 2 bed apartment would be between 1100 and 1900 Eur. You could have a look at www.immoweb.be which will give you a good idea of what is available in different price ranges. Regarding your cars - yes you can lease cars in Belgium, but you will need to be careful of the lease period, if you are unsure how long you will be here. It can be very expensive to break the lease. Regarding the electrical equipment provided, you will not usually find the complete range of appliances in an apartment. It depends whether you are looking for furnished or unfurnished. In an unfurnished you will usually get the cooker and fridge, although the fridge may be a lot smaller than what you are used to. A lot of the kitchens in apartments are quite small. In a furnished apartment you may also get a microwave and sometimes a washing machine/drier. But it really depends on the individual apartment. There is quite a good second hand market for appliances and cars (see Expatica web-site and also www.xpats.com). Hope this helps, Best Regards Eileen Money General Manager eileen.money@map-relocations.com www.map-relocations.com Asked by : Gary Answered by : Relocation Expert Eileen Money
