Hi,

Can being on temporary leave due to economic unemployment 37 days during a 5 years career (ch么mage 茅conomique) affect the requirement of 5 years of uninterrupted work for Belgian citizenship eligibility?

Thanks in advance for your advice,

@Liwane

5 year of interrupted work covers the language requirement, so you鈥檒l have to prove/show the language requirement by another means. But always best to check with your commune as they can assess your case and better advise you before submission.

@Liwane

if you obtained your diplomas within the 5 years聽 prior the citizenship application, you can justify the language social and economic integration requirement with your degrees.
