good luck everyone !

My single permit is rejected, and annex 48 is issued. In the annex no reason for rejection is provided. How can I know more about the reason?

@jfaroald

May I ask how many months or days you are waiting before receiving rejection, since you submitted application date for your single permit. Thank you!

Hello, after Annex 46 is issued, is it possible to apply for a D visa as a family? If so, could you please provide information on how the process works? We are currently in Turkey, but the procedures are being handled in Belgium. The work permit was approved on February 12, 2026.

Hi Everyone,


I missed my job in Flanders, now I got another new job.


The new employer is going to apply for my work permit and residence permit.


My question is that, since I have already resided in Belgium, Can I start my new job after issuing  the work pemit? Before issuing single permit.



Thanks in advance
