HOW DO I APPLY FOR BELGIAN NATIONALITY?

PUBLISHED ON 30/10/2023

WEBINAR | TUESDAY 14 NOVEMBER 2023, 12:00 - 13:30

Each year, many UK citizens become eligible for Belgian nationality and then start the process of applying. This opportunity is all the more relevant after Brexit, since becoming Belgian not only offers a route to unconditional residence and democratic rights in Belgium, but also restores your rights as an EU citizen — including freedom of movement within the rest of the EU.

Earlier this year we held a webinar presenting the rules around Belgian nationality, and published a newsletter exploring the consesquences of becoming Belgian. We are now pleased to offer a follow-up session with a more practical approach, which will help potential applicants understand the process to follow and the documents/evidence they would need for their dossiers. After the presentation, we will open a Q+A and address questions from participants.

UK CITIZENS IN BRUSSELS NEWSLETTER

Alongside these webinars, commissioner.brussels is also launching a monthly newsletter for 2023. This new mailing will explore in detail some of the most complex aspects of post-Brexit life for UK citizens living in Belgium or planning to move here. Each edition will focus on a specific case study, starting from one tricky question and then exploring the detail that UK citizens should be aware of.
