I received letter from commune regarding approval of citizenship and they wrote we will invite you later. What are the next steps? Do I get ID first and then passport? Does anyone have experience how long would it take for them to invite me?

@Aliceweber

So for your nationality they did not ask for language/integration?

@Srizzy

He mentioned, He submitted "5 years individual accounts", it means he did continuously 5 year work, so language not needed.

@Aliceweber

Now you have to wait for nationality certificate either in mondosier or call from commune. then you can take an appointment for your id and passport.

@Srizzy

They evaluated 5 years uninterrupted work as proof of integration & language.

@Aliceweber

Heyyy , congrats , I also got my approval recently. They invited me to order my ID and when I went to the appointment  they asked me if I wanted to order the passport as well , so of course I said yes . They said it's 1 week for the passport and 2 weeks for the ID. I just took a photo and my current L Card

@Naouel cherif

How long did it take??

@Gvad45

4 months

Did anyone get his/her Birth certificate from the Embassy, or a valid document can only be issued by inside the country of origin?

@Mehrdad_AS

Hi Mehrdad, for iranians, you need to obtain birth certificate(shenasname) translated and legalised in iran by the belgium embassy. but to be 100% sure, you can ask your commune.

Hi everyone, i wanted to ask if a gap in my two jobs during the transfer of single permit, count towards the five year required for permanent residence or not. I know it should count for five year of legal residence. But do they count for five year of continuous work? The gap is expected to be 2-3 weeks.

For L card not a problem. Since the requirements are 5 years of continuous legal residency(assuming your residency was legally covered by some annex or residence card itself). However for citizenship if there’s a gap in 5 years of continuous working you’d need inburgering attest(integration test + A 2 level speaking /reading /writing )

@musmans

465 days of work are required. It can be continuous or discontinuous.

@Mehrdad_AS

That is not true according to SPF Justice , for social integration :

"et prouver son intégration sociale soit :

-par un diplôme ou un certificat qui est au moins du niveau de l’enseignement secondaire supérieur, délivré par un établissement d’enseignement organisé, reconnu ou subventionné par une Communauté ou par l’Ecole Royale Militaire ;

-en ayant suivi une formation professionnelle d’au moins 400 heures reconnue par une autorité compétente ;

-en ayant suivi avec succès un trajet d’intégration, un parcours d’accueil ou un parcours d’intégration prévu par l’autorité compétente de sa résidence principale au moment où le demandeur entame celui-ci ;

-en ayant travaillé de manière ininterrompue au cours des cinq dernières années comme travailleur salarié et/ou comme agent statutaire nommé dans la fonction publique et/ou comme travailleur indépendant à titre principal ;"
