Single Permit Processing time in 2021
amangoalie wrote:Did anyone receive work permit this week?
I guess this week between Christmas and New Year they shut down most of their operation. And it will probably back to normal after January 3.
They are humans and they need a break like every other people on holidays.
amangoalie wrote:Did anyone receive work permit this week?
I have said must be at least 5 times, it's the holiday season, the offices will be closed and you will see nothing happen until the new Year. Please be patient!!!!
amangoalie wrote:Did anyone receive work permit this week?
They are on holidays, just relax and enjoy your holidays season too and do not expect any documents issue this week, it’s the best thing to do.

App Date Nov 9
WP Waiting
RP Waiting
I received an email from social security confirming the application date. Would I also receive an email once Work Permit or Residence Permit gets approved? Or will my employer only receive the email regarding approval of Work Permit or Reisdence Permit?

I think only employer will get the status of WP and Single Permit.
I got some information that we will receive updates by next week. Some Officials are on leave this week.

Hi ibraham2121
I have nothing to lie. I got a mail from my employer on 3rd Dec that my work permit got approved.
as you know, we can't track the status. we fully relay on what our Belgium HR says.
The Department for economic migration has issued positive advice and transferred the request to the Immigration office.
We are now waiting for the approval of the Immigration office regarding your single permit.

3.Language selection
4.Work and stay authorization - Annex 46

5.PCC
6.Medical
7.Health insurance declaration by employer
8.Job Contract

I think contribution payment has already been done while processing of single permit.
That’s true. So are PCC and Medical. I have the proof of payment from the employer, so I’m just keeping it in hand. God knows what they expect.

I emailed them on jan 11th about my file and i received reply saying that they were processing 25/10/21 applications for work permit. i dont know which one believe now
I believe the officials are not processing the request in chronological orders that's why there is a confusion maybe there is no defined policy regarding the same since my WP was approved after people who had applied after me. However, my region is Brussles not Flanders

I think so as well. It is their ideal response to not open our file and check. There is no chronological order that they claim they follow.
I think this was w.r.t Single permit processing and the ans for 11th jan email was regarding wp processing! Anyways I applied on 7th Oct to if i get something I will update you guys!
