Who We Are
The Association of Belgian Relocation Agents (ABRA) is a non-profit organization established in 2001 to uphold the highest standards of quality and professionalism in the Belgian relocation industry. Read about the history of ABRA here.
Our relocation members have been thoroughly screened by EuRA and must adhere to the EuRA Rules of Conduct. Many of our members have also obtained the EuRA Quality Seal, which means that they have been audited for excellence in service provision and process management.
What We Do
Our association has made great strides in raising the profile of ABRA and its members both in Belgium and internationally. In addition, we actively work to support our members by identifying problems and providing solutions to issues that confront those in the relocation industry.
Past and present initiatives include representing members regarding legal formalities at City Halls, highlighting problems relating to health insurance for expats, promoting better relations between our members and the BIV/IPI, seeking solutions to insurance for relocation companies, and providing professional advice on VAT issues.
