One of my players has been with his feeder club for 3 years in Belgium. I've recently offered him a new contract but it wasnt accepted because he didnt get a work permit, so he's gone back to Belgium.

How will I know when he's passed the time needed to gain nationality? Does the game tell me?

I think it's 5 years normally.

As a moderator, you shouldn't be guessing answers. People will take your comments seriously.

I know that Belgium and Poland is 3 years. Spain is 5.

I just need to know how I can tell when that time is up. FM2008 has a "Days to Go till Dual nationality" section but I can't find it on 2007.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

Well if you already know the answer, why ask the question?

It'll show up on the players profile when he has that nationality added.

If it's 3 years for Belgium then that'll be 3 years you need to wait for it to happen.

Actually its 4 years in Spain unless you are from a spanish speaking South American Nation then its only 2 years. Remember though that teams that are not in the top division are not allowed to sign any foreign players.

This 2 year rule also applies to some other nations as well although I cant actually remember them though so you'll have to check.

God, you're a grumpy moderator!

My question, if you care to re-read my question, was "How do I know when the 3 years is up?".

I was hoping the game would send me a message or they would be an equivilent of the 2008 "Days until Nationality" section.
