❓ Ask Belgium Do Belgian citizens require a "No objection certificate" from the government to marry foreign nationals?
Nepali 32 M marrying my Belgian Girlfriend 30 F and We are moving to Nepal
So we just got an email from the Belgian embassy in New Delhi (since Kathmandu has no Belgian embassy) that we need to be there for a "No objection Certificate" (NOC) to go forward with the wedding.
I am just confused, do all Belgian citizens require no objection from the government to marry foreign national?
I understand going to the embassy to register our marriage and of course there is an interview and all that but the embassy asked us for an interview before hand to grant us the NOC.
If anyone has married a foreign national , please help me out?
