So my life here in USA did not work out so well as i hoped it would !! So i'd like to move back to my country!!
But .... Now that i have a 5 year old thats born here in the US, i dont know what tho do for her to come with me.
We've already gotten the passport's and i am citizen of both country's, both belgium and US.
People been telling me that she can just come with me and she be accepted over there, but i dont think thats true.
Is there any belgium embassy here in the US that i can call that is related to this Topic ??
Or do any of you know what i would need tho do for my baby to apply for an app or can she just come and sign her in a townhall over there.

Thanks in advance !!

Is the father OK with the move, if so get it in writing.

 

Not sure I understand, does the Baby have a Belgium passport?

If she is a citizen of both countries and has passports of both countries then yes, your daughter has exactly the same privileges as you when it comes to either returning to the US or returning to Belgium :)

Okey i should of wrote better in detail.
I'm the father and the mom and other kids will move later whenever i have a house ready for them to come.
The 5 y/o has a US passport.

Presumably the child is a dual citizen?

Contact the embassy of Belgium in DC. They may be able to answer some questions you have.

Don't forget you will have to pay taxes for the rest of your life in the U.S. if you still hold U.S. citizenship.

Hi,

So i've read that if you hold a U.S. citizenship or green-card and u work outside of the USA that u pay expat taxes ...
I went to the tax office here in Belgium and they said i would pay 183 day's of that i worked of taxes to the US ... and also ofc to the belgium country
Also when working for a american company in belgium that then i would be paying ddouble taxation for ever untill i leave or retire from that company....
But who can actually tell me that lives outside the U.S. and is a citizen on how this taxation works  ... can you also get tax return from the U.S. ?

I know that some a lot of jobs in the U.S. pay's more than the same jobs in belgium ... 
Just that healthcare is better here in belgium would make me wanne stay
But these 2x taxes would not do it for me, get paid lesser than in usa for the same jobs performed {most jobs do get  paid more in USA} 
And be taxed twice ... hmmm , i know they've told me they would never tax you fully twice but i'd like more info since those people in the belgium tax office din't even know about expat taxation for working abroad ...

~Thanks in Advance

That is correct. But you have to pay taxes on your Belgian income too in the U.S. if you hold a green card or U.S. citizenship. Or at least when the threshold passes 100k USD annual income.

I did not declare my U.S. income in Belgium. I would be surprised if they found out about it. Honestly It's unrealistic to survive with a 40-50% tax rate in the U.S..

All USCs and LPRs (green card holders) are taxed on worldwide income. So yes, if you are working abroad then you must file US federal taxes.

You may be able to claim the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE), which can exclude up to ~$100,000/year of foreign earned income from being taxed.

You may also be able to claim the Foreign Tax Credit to avoid paying taxes on the same income twice.

Consult a CPA/tax specialist if needed.

It is complicated, and details matter, something to discuss with your CPA, many will not be familiar so find one that does this sort of thing.
