Hello All,
I am quiete fresh on this website.
Last year i got job offer from company which based in Nivelles (Wallonia). Company lawyer advise me to apply to Eu blue card. After two months waiting, i recieved a permission of Eu Blue Card.
With this decision immediately, i applied for D Visa from General Consulate of Belgium in Istanbul. Second weeks almost past away and did not still get any result. When i talked to person who is responsible in Consulate told me that my case is rare (Probably indicate about blue card) and must check by dofi (home affairs foreign office). I have to wait at least 6-8 weeks more to get visa.
Could you share you experiences when you getting visa for blue card? Is this process normal or not? I tought Blue Card programme aimed for easy access to work permit for high skilled professions but it seems it takes almost the some for national work permit (Nearly it will take 4-5 months)
It may effecet contract and conditions becasue of plan was start at possition at the begening of this year.
Thanks in advance
Huseyin
