Dear all,
I now live and work in Belgium with F card, since I got married to a Belgian. Before that I also did a PhD through a scholarship from FWO. That was for 4 years. Therefore I have been living in Belgium for about 4.5 years. Four as PhD paying social security but no taxes I think and 6 months now as full time at a company.
My question is, when do I apply for permanent residency?
Me and my wife are also interested in living in Brazil (my country) for a year or two. Can I actually do this now or should I wait after receiving permanent residency?
Also BTW, not sure this changes anything but we have a beautiful baby girl who was born here in Belgium.
