Don’t you have to be employed for uninterrupted 5 years before qualifying for PR?  Unless married to an EU/Belgian citizen?

I would also like to know if the search year counts towards the PR.

Since this was started just a few years ago, I'm sure a lot of the communes might not know if it should be counted or not

@Plzmm

Would be ideal if you take an appointment with the commune to check your eligibility.

I did the same for my PR.

@ChandlerBing

Student year counts as 1/2 a year for PR

@BMM996210 Maybe I should. Thanks

hi, for long term residence, you can apply (L card) or be granted (B card) after 2 years of working legally in Belgium. that means 2.5 years based on studies + 1 year orientation year + 1.5 or 2 years (to be sure) of working.

Thanks @brla15.

I applied for the L card. Now we wait and see.

oh great to hear. give us an update here about the results - and wishing it will be positive.

@brla15 My L card got approved 5 days ago. I need to go pick up my card in 2 weeks.

@Plzmm thanks for the update, the information is well appreciated.

Hello @Plzmm, Congrats for the PR and thanks a lot for sharing. Could you please clarify if when you applied the search year fully counted? Can you please share a complete timeline?
