Hi everyone,
If anyone could shed some light on this:
As an Australian, do i have to become a Permanent Resident of Belgium before being naturalised to become a Belgian citizen?
According to The Belgian embassy's official website, one of the main criteria is to have lived in Belgium for 3 consecutive years prior to applying to become naturalised.
But now I am wondering whether the process will be longer (than just three years) because I have to become a 'permanent resident' first, and I can't find any resources that detail this process.
Your help will be much appreciated!
