Hello,

I am non-eu citizen and I have lived and worked in Belgium since 2019 (3.5 years). Before that I was living in Italy where I had phd scholarship for 3 years. I was wondering since social security has been deducted from my scholarship in italy, could those years be counted as for d type pr card?

In other words can I apply now for d card or should I wait until I reached 5 years of living in Belgium?

All the best,

You can ask Commune.

@chancetar06 well I don't see how a PhD scholarship in Italy relates to application for PR in Belgium in terms of social security deduction.

You can ask at your commune though

No, it will not count. You'll have to wait 1 year and a half. (Knowing that in 6 months you'll have unlimited work permit)

It would have if you had a permanent resident permit in Italy, but you couldn't get that with 3 years of PhD (or if you had the European Blue Card but that's not your case as well).

@Adeyola what I heard is that card D is a pr procedure for EU (not only in Belgium). Therefore living and working in eu countries can be counted. I don鈥檛 have enough info to judge if it鈥檚 true or not. I know the best is to ask commune but I was wondering if anybody else has some experience.

@AlexFromBelgium thanks for your answer. I actually lived more than 7 years in italy but I was under student permit for the whole time.

If what you said is true, I can鈥檛 understand the logic behind this

The Logic is 7 yrs of residence as a student counts as 3.5 yrs for PR.

No, permanent resident permit in another Schengen State only remove the visa request to settle in another state. That's basically all. You won't get permanent resident permit until you respect the national law on that topic in your new country, you'll start from 0 (temporary resident - 1 year card - blablabla).

There's one useful additional info, is for the D card owner (now the "L" card) (permanent resident that have worked for 5 years+ straight & higher salary), those one will have way less administration than all other resident permit. They're nearly like the EU moving in another Schengen state.

And depending on the country, you'll lose your permanent resident status (most likely after 2 years out of the country)
