Single Permit Processing in 2022
@sunlengfei1020 hi. For which region have you seen that? Can you please share the full link of the article? As no way to open it. Thank you
@krosh I think it is possible to just overstay your current residence permit until the new one is granted. However, you cannot leave the Belgian territory. For more accurate information, it is better to contact the city hall where you live.

@sunlengfei1020 thank you. Will definitely have a look. I believe the most stressing and waiting part is the residence permit followed but the visa application in the embassy depending from where you apply. Let’s all hope for the best.
@ChandlerBing we have pretty much the same timeline, I also applied for Brussels from abroad and waiting for work permit. Once you receive your work permit as per my understanding you will receive 3 files, work permit, residence permit and single permit copy. Your employer is supposed to send it to the embassy of your country of residence. You make appointment for your visa and you submit documents and you wait for them to stamp your passport with a D long stay visa. Once you arrive to Brussels you will have to go to your commune of residence where you will stay to receive the real work permit
@patiltush my application have been applied and submitted on the 13th May and same day received the privacy mail. My work permit have been granted on the 24th May and now waiting for resident permit which I do not know how long it would take. This is for a fresh application for Brussels from abroad
@Kristani1989 So this process for Work Permit approval right ? nothing to do with the residence.
@dk101 What is the reason that the annex 46 takes more than a month, I thought it make take maximum one month to be issued?
@burak karaomer But the explanation for Single Permit visa states that it is if you are moving to join family members. The Work Permit visa application describes itself as if you are going to belgium for work over 90 days?
