L card time frame

Hi everyone,


Has anyone recently received their L card in Belgium? How long did it take from submitting your application to actually receiving the card?


I’d appreciate hearing about your recent timelines. Thanks!

Hey ! I applied almost 2 months ago, and I’m still waiting for the reply.


Looks like the L card processing time by the foreign office is very odd. I’ve one friend who got it 2 months after applying. And another one that got it 3 and half months after applying. But I’ve also read on this forum that for some, they don’t even get a reply before the 5 months and it is automatically approved after the 5 months.


Maybe the processing time depends on the period of the year when you apply or on other things that we don’t know.

Which period did your friends apply in ? An which commune ?
