- A bank account before the card, real SIM prices, the mutuality and the €4 GP visit
- Your Indian licence: 185 days, then the Belgian exams — India is not on the exchange list
- The integration course, region by region — and why Brussels has no work exemption
- School enrolment windows, transport passes, the deposit rule, the bins, the tax return
