Is HotelESIM easier than buying a local SIM card at Brussels (BRU) Airport, and does it require ID?

Updated April 22, 2026

HotelESIM offers a significantly more streamlined experience compared to purchasing a physical prepaid SIM card at Brussels Airport (BRU). Buying a local SIM typically involves finding a kiosk in the arrivals hall, waiting in line, and completing a mandatory passport registration process as per EU law. HotelESIM is 100% digital, eliminating the need for physical queues, paperwork, or ID checks at the airport. You can activate your eSIM conveniently from your hotel room or even before your flight, ensuring immediate and hassle-free connectivity upon arrival in Belgium.
