🇬🇧 €2,745/month… or No Reunification

🇧🇪 URGENT: Belgium tightens family reunification rules. Act NOW or risk being too late.

🧩 Context

Belgium is about to significantly tighten the rules for family reunification.

✅ A new reform has just been approved by the Parliamentary Commission.

📅 It will come into force right after the summer recess.

💥 For many families, this summer is their last chance.

📉 What’s about to change:

• 💶 Minimum income required = 110% of social integration income + 10% per additional family member

  👉 Example: To bring a spouse + 2 children, you must prove €2,745 net/month.

• ⏳ Waiting period removed for people with subsidiary protection status (but not for full refugees).

• 🎂 Minimum age for family reunification: 21 years.

⚠️ Why this is URGENT:

📅 Applications submitted before the new law takes effect will still be judged under the old rules.

👉 That means you must act before the end of the summer.

⏰ Every week of delay could make the difference between a reunited family and an impossible future.

💬 What you should do NOW:

✅ If you’re affected or know someone who is, speak to a lawyer, NGO or advisor immediately.

✅ File your application before September — it may be the only chance.
