  1. Best way is to move to Belgium and gain citizenship as a Belgium citizen. Your nationality will be Belgium, however your ethnicity will always be British if indeed your parents are of British descent.


  2. You better be quick, otherwise you will have to choose between either a Walloon or Flemish one!

  4. And wy on earth would you do that

    and most importantly

    HOW ?


  5. i suggest you take a flight to portugal and then to canada and then to helsinki.

  6. you will always be British dont lie to yourself

  7. As a foreigner, you can adopt Belgian citizenship by going through a naturalisation process.

    The main requirements are that you're at least 18 years of age, have had your principal residence in Belgium for the last three years, and have ‘genuine attachments’ to the country, such as a job, friends and family, investments and (probably most ‘attaching’ of all) debts. You must complete the relevant forms and produce translated and verified copies of your birth certificate, proof of residence in Belgium and any other documents supporting your case, and submit them to the administration of the commune where you live.

    Your dossier is processed by the Service des Naturalisations and your case is assessed by the national House of Representatives ( Chambre des Représentants), who conduct further investigations if necessary. Eventually, your request for naturalisation becomes part of a legislative act which is sanctioned by the King (or more likely by one of his staff) and published in the Moniteur belge, the official journal of the national legislature. From the date of publication, you’re officially Belgian and entitled to the same rights (and subject to the same obligations) as other Belgian citizens. Your children under the age of 18 automatically also become citizens, provided they live with you (or, as the statute reads, ‘are under your authority’, which may be a different matter altogether!).

    If you marry a Belgian citizen or your spouse becomes naturalised while you’re married, you can apply for naturalisation after you’ve been living together in Belgium for three years. The procedure is a simplified version of the full naturalisation process, and if you were married in Belgium you can use the same birth certificate you provided for the registration of your marriage, which saves you translation and verification fees.


  8. Do it then?

    Tell your parents, and then follow the culture of Germans

  9. Um.. you can gain Belgian citizenship but nationality is what decent your family is from, that cannot change.
