Hello everyone,


I applied for Belgian nationality one month ago (23/06/2025) and paid the fee of €150, which was the amount required at that time. However, one document was missing from my file, and I plan to submit it on 04/08/2025 due to appointment gap.


Now I see that the nationality application fee has increased to €1,000.


My question is:

Since I already submitted the application and paid €150 before the fee change, do I need to pay the additional amount when I submit the missing document, or will the original payment still be valid?


Thank you in advance for your help!

Here is the law program where discussed at 18.07.2025



There may be bad news those already paid before 29.07.25 €150 and not applied as 29.07.25.


Uw procureur des Konings kan hierover een andere mening hebben. Artikel 15 van het Wetboek Belgische nationaliteit stelt dat het registratierecht voldaan moet zijn op het moment van de nationaliteitsverklaring. Dat betekent dat voor elke nationaliteitsverklaring die wordt afgelegd vanaf vandaag 2025 het registratierecht 1000 euro bedraagt, ook al heeft de betrokken persoon voorheen reeds 150 euro betaald.


Myminfin.be is aangepast naar de 1000 EUR, een mogelijkheid om 850 euro bij te betalen is (vooralsnog) niet ter beschikking. Burgers kunnen contact nemen met  myminfin.be via:

I contacted Mymin Fin yesterday to explain my situation. I made the payment on July 9, but I have another appointment in August because my file was not initiated on that date. I was reassured that we are not required to pay the €850 fee, as it only applies to those who had not made a payment before July 28.


“Met dit bewijs dient u naar uw gemeente te gaan. Betaling uitgevoerd tot en met 28/07/2025 van 150 euro zijn in orde.

Vous devez présenter cette preuve de paiement à votre commune. Les paiements de 150 euros effectuès jusqu'au 28/07/2025 sont valables.”

@Smlg

That makes sens because you made your application. We may see in the future additional payment request form in Mijn fin for those paid €150 but not applied yet.

@maharaji1984

It’s What I have been told and It’s on the official website as well:


”The registration duty for a nationality application is now set at 1,000 euros On 29 july 2025, new legislation was published modifying the registration duty for nationality applications. The registration duty is 1,000 euros for payments made from 29 july onwards.”

@maharaji1984

my application was not started in the system.

its not about when your file was started but the payment.

I was referring this sentence :

Artikel 15 van het Wetboek Belgische nationaliteit stelt dat het registratierecht voldaan moet zijn op het moment van de nationaliteitsverklaring.

You can read entire article from the link that I shared above.


Thata why I was thinking people who has not applied yet but paid €150 may face additional payments in the future.

@maharaji1984

i will send this to Myminfin and will update you.

@maharaji1984

I just called: they confirmed that if the payment have been made before July 28 no need to pay the remaining 850.
