Hi,
I am an Indian citizen, currently working in Belgium on long term Work Permit. Currently my RP (single permit i.e. Work Authorization + Residence Permit) is valid till end of 2020.
Right now I have got an offer from another employer in Germany. If I quit my current employer (who had processed my current work authorization) then they will ask me to travel back to India and then they will cancel my Belgian work authorization. In this case, even if my new German employer might have applied for new work authorization but I will not have it before I travel back to India. With respect to this situation, can you please help with the following?
1. Will my Belgian WP be adjusted to have a new employer from Germany? Or will it be fresh German WP application (as if I am applying from India)?
2. If I am not in Europe and my German employer processes my work authorization, then once that new work authorization is approved then do I need to again go through the visa stamping process in India? Or with my existing Belgian RP I will be able to travel back to Belgium and then move to Germany for applying RP in Germany?
3. As I will be in India till the time I start with new employer and also there is a change in country (from Belgium to Germany), hence will my stay period in Belgium be considered during my Permanent Residence processing in Germany at the end of 5 years?
Thanks,
RJ
