New Single Work Permit Procedure - Belgium

On which phone number I should call

Hi dear. Would you please say who applied for annex 46/47 for you? Your employer?

Thank you for your response. I hope my file moves faster. I just need the work permit to stay.
I hope it gets done fast, since I am already residing here in Flanders.

@s_d_a
then it should take around 3-4 weeks.

1 to 3.5 months is for the full process of the single permit.

@narcis 5125 I already answered your question. Your employer has to request the single permit and if it's approved you'll received the annexe.

Thank you very much for your response.

I am in India. My employer at Belgium
Has applied my single permit on 16 sept. I got the privacy mail on same day, but no news of approval of single permit. I enquired through my employer they told that there is no provision of tracking the application.

Anybody want to say on this matter. How much time will be taken for approval of single permit.

I called them they told me they were processing the files from 20th Sep.

My application was submitted on 16 sept. So according to this information my application would have been processed. But I did not get the information of my approval yet.

Give it +1 week

who did you call ? and which step of the process are you talking about that is processing applications from 20th September ? The Work Permit or Residence Permit ?

Hey, what was their response to you again?

They replied to me
Dear,
Do you already have a decision from the region? If so, on what date, and can you provide us with a copy?

Unfortunately, i don't have any copy. My employer not sharing all the details with me .

Dear All,

Greetings to you from Ankara!

Relying on your experience, I would like to ask several questions:

1) Upon the single permit application by my future employer, I got an email on "privacy notice" on 17 November. A few weeks laters, my employer told me that they need the complete pages of my passport, with blank pages, I re-submitted my passport copy and on 3 December, I received the very same email on privacy notice. Does it mean that my application was not started to be processed in mid November? And do we receive this email on the day when our employer made the application on our behalf?

2) Nowadays, how long does it take for the issuance of the single permit? As far as I read from here, there are several "emails" that I am supposed to receive before the issuance of my single permit?

3) Do you think if there is a way to track my application? The HR department of my prospective employer is not very responsive and I do not know how I could be informed on the process.

Many thanks in advance!
Nihan

Hi guys,

Here is the update for my process:

Region: Flander
Application submitted: 1 October
Work permit: 14 December
Single Permit: still waiting

guys, do you think there is a timeline difference between blue card application and single permit for highly skilled workers? I mean, does one of them takes less time than the other or is it more or less the same? what do you think?

Hi guys,

My dates for renewal of existing single permit:

Region: Flanders, same employer
Applied: 19/11
Automatic Privacy Notice: 19/11 (not sure why is that)

I suppose the procedure has been changed a bit for last 2 years. Should they send back the confirmation e-mail that all papers are ok and complete?  Can anyone advise please?

Thanks in advance <3

I consulted them recently,  their lead time to answer SP requests was 4 up to 6 weeks due to the holiday week between Christmas and NY.

I'm currently in the 5th week of waiting. I'm also leaving my timeline below.
