Update on my husband's situation

- September 3, 2023 : Card L application

- March 27, 2024 : He received an email from the commune to come and pay for the card itself.

- March 28, 2024 : He went to the commune. He paid 24 euros and is waiting for the code to be sent via post.

I will inform you guys when he picks up the card itself.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Is it true that card L is valid for 10 years now? He seem to have seen that at the commune.

My timeline:

Commune: Mechelen

Applied on: 11/12/2023

Appointment with commune: 13/05/2024

I applied for permanent residency and Mechelen commune gave me an appointment 5 months later directly and mentioned that they cannot share any information/decision before 13th May 2024. I am still waiting for it...

@fabowuapp

He had the physical card this week. It is valid for 10 years. It took about 8 months from application to obtaining the physical card.

I received approval exactly on completion of 5 months.

Here is my timeline for the L card:

• Applied at Ixelles commune: 07 February 2024
• Received 16bis immediately at time of application
• Received notice to pay for new card just under 4 months later: 05 June 2024
• I will pay extra for urgent issuance of the L card, so I should receive it on: 07 June 2024

Total time will be four months.

I received the following email after five months of applying for the L card-

We acknowledge receipt of your email.

I invite you to contact the department in question at the following address for the order of the L card:
