Hi everyone,

I am planning to apply for Belgian citizenship once I receive my L card in the middle of this month.

Has anyone in this forum applied recently, perhaps toward the end of last year, and is expecting feedback early this month or within the next few months? If so, I would appreciate it if you could share your timeline.

Hello All ,

I have an appointment next week for my Nationality application. I already made the payment of 1000 euro through MyMinFin after I booked the appointment. Today, I noticed that that it has been increased to 1030 (indexed) and this is also confirmed on MyMinFin.

Will my 1000 payment receipt be sufficent and accepted? Of course, I'm willing to pay the  additonal 30 if required, but i want to avoid any delays because of this small difference. I checked and it doesnt seems possible to pay the extra 30 trough MyMinFin before my appoinment,

If the 1000 is accepable, then thats great I'ill save 30 

Any one applied or going to apply for nationality this or next week? please let me know.

Thank you in advance.

@dakbak

I suggest you to Call the Myminfin service to have confirmation

@Tanvirul Hoque

Is the language requirement and social integration now mandatory even if one has 5 years of continuous work?

@Srizzy

Normally No, I gave all documents to be safe side.

@dakbak

Better to pay. Otherwise it will delay your process if they say you need to pay.

@Tanvirul Hoque

yes, I already looked to pay. No option to pay 30 other than paying entire 1030.

As @smlg suggested, I contacted Myminfin and waiting for their response.

@callonafo

I see that your L card will be available middle of this month. I also applied and I’m waiting for the reply of OE. May i ask when did you apply and when did OE checked your national register ? You can see it in Mydossier if you have a card reader.

I applied on 5th December 2025, and I’ve seen that OE checked my national register on 17th December, so I thought I would get an answer not too long after they checked my register.
