Seeking info about Family reunification in Belgium

Hi everybody,

I am non eu citizen, I just moved to Belgium beginning of October and I just got my A card. My wife is Ukrainian which is non eu as well but she can travel in eu without any visa. I just learned that if she will come here in Belgium we can apply our family reunification through municipality but so far the infos i found didn't give me enough confidence that we can do it. Some say we can, some say we can't.

So is there anyone who holds A card applied their family reunification in Belgium?
Is it possible?
What is the process?
What are the documents we need if we can apply?

Thank you in advance :)

Hello,

as she has a visa-free passport to the Schengen Area, she can do the process from the commune.
But, right now, Ukrainian passport are covid19-ban... meaning that she can't travel freely to Belgium "like before".
She will probably need to contact the embassy to request a "laisser-passer" in order to be allowed to cross the border + PCR test + ...

Hi Alex, thank you for your answer. After your answer, I tried to find more info about it (mostly about the documents we need) and I came across this website;

and it looks like we need the same documents with an application through consulate on this situation as well.

Yes, she'll need to bring the exact same documents as if she would do a family reunion visa D request.


As you've a temporary resident card (A) and she's non-eu, you'll depend on the Article 10bis from the law of the 15/12/1980.

So basically, she'll need her certificate of birth (to proof she's more than 21 years old), her marriage certificate, criminal record.
All of them must be translated in the language of your commune + apostile from the foreign minister in Ukraine.


And you'll need to proof that you've a correct accommodation, enough money per month + stable job, insurance for her (mutualité/ziekenfonds agreement).
It's also possible that they do request your certificate of birth too from Turkey (translation + legalized/apostile).

Okay, thank you so much, Alex.
