Post new topic

mj22manish

I am working in belgium for 2.5 years. My work permit and residence permit expired on 16th jan. Although i received my work permit document, but still waiting for residence permit authorization. Recently got married, so had to apply for dependent visa. Can my wife apply for the Belgium dependent visa with the renewed work authorization, or she has to wait until the time i receive my renewed residence authorization?
