Ten times more Britons want to become Belgian

The number of Britons wanting to become Belgian has almost increased tenfold since the Brexit referendum.

For the referendum in July 2016, this was on average less than nine per month. Between the plebiscite about the brexit and at the end of last year, 2689 Britons were of Belgian nationality. They can request it if they can prove that they live in Belgium for five years. They also retain their British nationality after naturalization.
