UK citizen in Brussels? How to apply for Belgian nationality

Each year, many UK citizens become eligible for Belgian nationality and then start the process of applying. This opportunity is all the more relevant after Brexit, since becoming Belgian not only offers a route to unconditional residence and democratic rights in Belgium, but also restores your rights as an EU citizen — including freedom of movement within the rest of the EU.

Join Fragomen Senior Associates, Wout Van Doren and Jana Schellemans on this webinar hosted by Commissioner Brussels where they will enter into the practical details of preparing and submitting an application for Belgian nationality. The aim is to help potential applicants understand the process to follow and the documents they would need to gather for their dossier.

Topics which will be discussed include:

• Which documents will I need and where can I find them?
• How and where do I submit my application for Belgian nationality?
• How long will the process take?
• What are my options if I get a negative response?

After the presentation, there will be a Q+A and address questions from participants.

Speakers:

• Chair: Amélie Bovy, Legal Adviser Welcome Desk, commissioner.brussels
• Wout Van Doren, Senior Associate, Fragomen Brussels
• Jana Schellemans, Senior Associate, Fragomen Brussels
