F card to nationality or F+

Hello,

basically, what (really) matter is if you can reach 3 years of legal cohabitation until you both go to the commune to "officially" break up and end up the legal cohabitation.

That would allow you to renew your F card once it expires. (new F card are valid for 10 years now)

Asking permanent resident ship (F+) if more difficult and tricky: A2 level, official diploma, .... not impossible at all in your case, it's just more administration and as far as I understand, you want to secure your stay without depending on the will of your partner.

If you can't reach a compromise together to reach the 3 years, then, as you're working.... no problem...

Immigration won't give you issue as you're working. They'll wait for the renewal of your resident permit to have a look at your case.

You'll request a B card (permanent resident) to make the process easy and then you're fine.

No big deal, but you've a bit of administration to do~

All the card (B, F, F+) will allow you to request belgian's nationality once your respect the conditions.

As Alex stated, the most ideal is to keep the legal cohabitation until the end of 3 year period. During this time, even if you move out or something, you could keep your domicilation with your partner and wait the 3 years for cohibation. In that case, it'll be ok as you're working. Normally, you can't ask for an F+ card as normally the conidtion is to be still with your partner when you ask for a F+ card. But thats not a big issue really. Renewing F card or applying for a  B card will do the job for you and with those cards, you can apply for nationality or just keep living and working here. Hope it helps. All the best luck

Hi all, thanks so much for the apply..

eventually I applied for nationality end of July.. applied on the f card, and my master diplome in French (which covered social integration, language, and economy attribution)

now it’s been three months and I still have one month to go…

only thing I worried about is the orange card between A card (student) and F card will be counted as interrupted.. but I thought in that case they wouldn’t take my dossier…

for now, no refusal whatsoever

still living same adresse with my Belgian partner ,, for the moment to sort this out
