Nationality application lead time

Orix

Hi there,

With the D-card (and other conditions met) I'm considering to apply for BE nationality in Brussels.
Any experience on how much time this process will take?
Is there an SLA available from BE authorities? :)
Please share your experiences!

PS: If I'll apply from Vlandria, what it would take then? (I'm considering to move soon, so I have some flexibility to apply from the "best" region)

Kr, Orix

4 months is the average processing time.

Orix

thanks Aneesh.

do you know if there's a difference in Brussels vs Flandria on the processing time?

Aneesh

Dont think so. All applications go to one and the same ministry.
