Request : Permanent residence application & Passport period

phanijana

Respected reader,


I need certain information regarding residence status and procedure.


Background:

I moved to Belgium in 2021 after staying in Germany for 7 years. I would complete in February 5 years time on blue card Visa in Belgium. As a next step, I would like to upgrade my citizenship.


Conversations with iBZ office. :

When I have requested to check my case and is there any requirement of documents to submit? what should I do, they have just said that they are aware of it, system has made the alert. They are processing it and everything will be automatic.


My issue:

When will I get the permanent residence card?

When may I apply for Passport?

May I apply for European residence permit - permanent ? since i have lived for 11- 12 years in Europe?


What are the next step ?
