Hi, Not sure why, the first time I hear this reason.

Do you have a reason why you are applying for a B card and not an L card?

B is faster. and its also ok with B to apply for Citizenship. L card is for those who also want to work in other EU states. For L card there is timeframe of 5 months and for B its 2-3 months ideally

L-card also puts you in the citizen (or something like that) register while with the B-card you are still an Alien. I do not know what the implication is though.

But a B-card is not something you can apply for from what I remember, it can be granted when you renew your A-card but not applied directly.

Why not just go for an L-card? Is this 2-month difference of waiting so important given that you will get a better card (10-year validity and less strict for being outside of Belgium) and you have 99% chance of getting it while the B-card is up to the Ministry? I guess the only reason is that you want to apply for citizenship ASAP.

officially could be B card is 2-3 months, but there is no time limit it on. I am sure many people would agree that it sometimes takes more time on a B card and an L card is faster.

Since you need the immigration to grant the B and you cannot apply it yourself, why not do the L .

On the website its written that b card takes 3 weeks and post that 2 weeks more for puk code so total 1.5 months. that was the reason i wanted to apply b card and immediatly citizenship as this can be faster.
