Late Residence Card Renewal - Type A

@Peterjohn123 Hi peter, thank you for your response, i actually finally received my card today.

Hello everyone

I have applied for my residence card in July,through Commune,they send me Anexure 15 in August,since then I m waiting for their invitation...Recently in October 13 I called IBZ office and they said they have sent my file to Deurne Commune...since then I m waiting for invitation from Commune, mean while I tried to contact Commune, they didn't respond well..They only told me you will be informed wia email...Its already 3 .5 months I m waiting...Can anyone can sugest how low it takes to get invitation from Commune after the file is passed by Ibz office...thank you

I got mine after 2 months of waiting. Have the police visited you yet? If they haven't the commune can't do your final registration

@Kendy Makere yea Police verification done...The file is for residence card renewal

Hello All,

I have applied for my husband's extension in the commune after his expiry card. We have submitted all the required documents in our Turnhout commune and waiting for the IBZ decision. My husband is working here.

we didn't even receive Annexure 15. what would be our situation now? Apart from submitting the required documents anything else should take place.MY commune keeps saying that they applied for extension and we need to wait for their decision.I applied for the extension on Nov 19th Commune filed on Nov 20th,his card expired on the 14th.we stressed out with this.what could happen at this situation?

Same situation happened for me, i actually applied for extension 1 month ahead of expiry but i missed an email from them asking for documents and saw that email on the day of card expiry and replied and then it took 2 months to get the approval from ministry and process the rest in another 1 month, luckily my work permit was indefinitely valid and the commune failed to check that and asked me to get the approval from ministry and the ministry after 2 months sent a letter that my old WP is valid and residence can be granted. but if WP is not valid then ideally we should not work, this happend during my 3 renewal, when i applied 2 months in advance but WP approval took 3 months and untill the WP was approved (1 month inbetween) i did not get the normal salary but was provided as a loan and couldn't work for about 20 days in that period.  thats according to the rules and employer should be made aware of this.

Ideally should be about 1month

@AshwinInBelgium did you manage to get permanent residence (B or L card), even with that "gap"?

@AshwinInBelgium

Thanks for your quick reply. Are you a dependent? If so how do we get a work permit my husband's work is now based on the RP card. we are still waiting for DVZ's decision. can you please give us any suggestions on how we can proceed without RP card. so we can share this option with our employer? We are afraid that they say no as an employee.

@residencecuriousity I got B card, 5 years validity, to be noted there is no gap in my work permit and i applied before mt residence card expired, which means i have not violated any rules.

@Karnampavithra1995 Legally you should not work without a Workpermit, but you can without a residence permit. if you work without WP it is a problem for both employee and employer. I'm not a dependent, I'm the main WP holder. It is better to consult this matter with a lawyer and get their legal opinion and I would suggest don't risk by working without complete knowledge on this.
