Single Permit Processing in 2022

Hi all,
I live in Belgium. But when my employer applied for my SP, I didn't have RP. My WP is accepted on 27th April and I'm still waiting for my RP. I'm scared that my RP will be rejected. What do you think about this?
Thank you.

@firat44 If they do not have a reason to reject the RP and you are legally in Belgium then it should be fine. But if you do not have RP, I assume you are in Belgium as a tourist? In this case, if the RP (annex 46) is issued you still need to go back to your country and apply for a valid long-term visa.

@Husi123 Thank you for the answer. I actually applied for a professional card while I had the RP. It was rejected after 5 months. Meanwhile, the RP has expired. Then my prospective employer immediately applied to SP without RP. And despite all that, WP was approved.

Is there anybody received the RP recently? Please share.
June 6 seems a holiday in Belgium.
11
@burak karaomer yes your RP comes after your WP. So once the WP is approved they send it for RP and once that is approved they send you a Annex 46 and that allows you to work in Belgium.
11
Has anyone in the past week or 2 received a Annex 46? It's week 7 since I got my WP and I need to get back to Belgium as I am starting to work on 1 July 😓. Any advice?

@dk101 Thanks for your timeline. Is it fresh or renewal application?

I asked my employer today about the update. They said the government contacted with me and asked for my resident card. But I never received any mail. God!
Just send them the copy. I am not sure how long still need to wait.

Hello Everyone, I have a question a bit complicated, so anyone who can answer will be a huge help.
I need to renew my Passport that I applied for the single permit
So In the Application documents there will be my old passport, while I need to apply for the single permit visa with my new passport.
What Should I do ? Would it create a problem to renew my passport ?
Only ID of my passport will change, my photo, birth date and place will be there so could they stamp the visa on the new passport ?
