Hello EveryOne,

I was seeking help for the following case: I have been working in Belgium since April 2021 and its uninterrupted but at one stage my address in the commune was removed , but after 2.5 months i restored my address in the same apartment, my card was not cancelled or expired.

does it mean that my residence is interrupted ?

This can be problematic for Nationality as it can be seen is interruption in main residence. Not sure about PR.

You can have interuption of upto 6 months if annouced. Best to take an extract of your residence history, check with the commune, if that gets too complicated have a review with a lawyer.

would be a pity - if you only found out when you apply for pr and nationality that you need to wait further.
