Did you apply eventually? I consider doing the same, but probably would consult with a lawyer about risks the unlimited single permit might entail of which I am possibly not aware. Happy to hear if you have any info on the matter. Thanks :)

Hi,

I submitted all the documents and received the no reply today, just to realize that I didn't legalize the criminal record attestation in the foreign affairs ministry properly, can the demand of SP be modified or is it too late !

Hi everyone!


Region: Brussels

Work field: consultant sap


No-reply: 22/08/2024


Work permit: Still waiting update from MOE

SP: Waiting


I am about to finish the 12th week for the work permit, but there is still no update on the employer page. I talked to the employer this week and they said immigrations teams will review and return to me. Is it normal for the work permit to take so long? I would be very grateful if someone who has an idea about the process can help.

@gorkem yildirim

Depends on the field of expertise

gorkem yildirim

@ievgenfeldmann

I don't understand what you mean, how does the expertise affect the duration of the work permit?

ievgenfeldmann

@gorkem yildirim

Easy they dont give permits to somebody who can be found within Belgium easy

gorkem yildirim

@ievgenfeldmann

Thanks for your answer but I am sure that what you are saying is not in my case. One of the biggest consulting firms is running the process and the worker status is high skilled worker.

Is this for renewal or new one?

@gorkem yildirim

Yes, it is possible. Sometimes they reply work permits very quickly and then it takes a lot of time for the residence permit. Sometimes it took a lot of time for the work permit and then residency permit comes really quick.


Normally in Brussels region, I assume it is faster but for flanders it can take up to 16 month in total for both.

Hello :)

I have a question, please. I want to change jobs and I'm hesitating between applying for a classic work permit or a "Personnel Hautement Qualifié" (Highly Qualified Worker) status. Is there a better option? Also, do you know what the processing time is when changing employers in Brussels for both types of requests?

Thank you very much!

Hi guys, 

Any news on your applications? Does anyone know which dates are currently being processed for the RP ?

Hello,

I am in the process of changing my employer and waiting for my WP approval. Meanwhile I am in my notice period, which will last until 10 January. Currently I have a residence card valid until 2026 linked to my current (old) employer. So, I have some questions regarding my travel for Christmas (I leave next week):


-Can I travel if my WP is approved before I leave? Do I need to give my current card to commune and get an annexe? Or I can keep my card and travel?

-What happens if my WP is approved while I am outside Belgium? As I will not be able to go to commune

Thank you in advance.

@Esra gecer

I am in the same situation, I am changing employeur, I would like to know if the medical certificate is mandatory to make the request. Do you have any idea about the processing time for work permit if it is the Brussels region?THANKS

Nizar Turki

Hello

please it is urgent, to change employer and region it is considered as a new request or a renewal ?

Thank you so much

@Nizar Turki

Hello Nizar, I have changed my job recently, and my new company submitted the single permit application with the "Renew request" request type. I got my WP, but I'm still waiting for RP. I hope this helps.

SSKK

@Esra gecer

Hello Esra, you will be summoned to commune once your RP is approved. So, your WP approval does not affect your residency card. You should be able to travel without a problem. I was in the same situation btw.

Nizar Turki

@SSKK

Thank you very much :)
