Hello everyone. I need opinion of people who have personally experienced this situation or have a legal knowledge about it. My question is, the studies done in Belgium(for 5 continuous years) and it did not result yet in form of diploma but passed alot of credits. Study still continuing, Is it sufficient as proof of social integration for Belgian nationality? Or in other words transcript of records which is Putenblad in dutch, is it a legally recognized certificate in Belgium? Thank you all for your opinion on this.

@richeekdey3 Thanks. Just to mention, meanwhile i talked to ADDE, they told 5 years of continuous study is enough to prove as social integration. Another lawyer also said the same. My commune also said its enough in some way and you can submit the declaration but they are not 100% sure on it, it may result in a yes or may be not. Lol, its confusing.

@Peterjohn123 Thanks, i have gone through this link, i have worked yes, more than 468 days comfortably(paying social security). Sorry i did not get, But what did you mean by full time work? Is it uninterrupted work of 5 years?

Peterjohn123

@ABS25 if you worked 468 days with social contribution is fine. Uninterrupted working is for people who do not submit diplomas. But, did you get permanent residence based also on thoes years of study?

@Peterjohn123 Exactly that is the point of discussion, the diploma is not finished yet so its going to be sufficient as social integration or not? And i have card F
