Dear All,

I moved to Belgium on dependent visa in Oct 2022 and found a job and been working since. My husband’s work permit is expiring on 30th of Nov and hence his company has filed for the extension of the same. They have also suggested him to not be working post 30th Nov while his work permit extension would be under process.

Does anyone know if I can continue working as usual during my husband’s Work permit extension. My visa validity is there till Feb 2023. Also we could only get appointment in Dec for my RP so I do not have the RP yet.

Any insight on this is highly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello,

the only reason you have access to work is based on your husband's work permit.

If for some reason the work permit is over (due to renewal), you're technically not allowed to work.
