Belgium in Brief: The long road to citizenship – how many make it?
Quick Glance: Becoming Belgian: Eligibility for Citizenship and Application Process
  • There are various ways to become Belgian, but the requirements and procedures are complex and multifaceted.

  • EU citizens already have many freedoms and protections, making the application for Belgian citizenship more symbolic for them.

  • Applying for citizenship in Belgium requires meeting specific criteria, including a residency period of five or ten years and knowledge of one of the three official languages.

  • The cost to apply for citizenship is €150, and the rejection of the application can occur in some specific cases, such as interruptions in staying in Belgium or lack of social security payments.
