I got my Residency card today!! It's valid until the end of Uni in July :) so until then I am a resident of Belgium!
I got a kind of temporary paper card as they are just in the process of introducing fancy plastic ID ones... but I'm glad I got in to the Foreigners Registration Office early as 2 days after I went they bumped up the fees from 7 euro to 28! (that's $50 NZ). This is also excellent news because I was expecting the process to take months, meaning that I could not leave the Schenegen area until I got my permit (as my student visa only grants me one entry into the Schenegen area, so I can't leave until I have my Residency Permit). This now means that I can go to Ireland for the holidays -which happen to include St Patrick's Day! There are some crazy cheaps flights available, about $12 NZ each way so I will be taking advantage of the opportunity to participate in some green-coloured fun!
