Unemployement benefits.

Post new topic

maharaji1984

Dear all,


I am officially working in Belgium for 3,5 years. due to occured events beyond my control, my contract has been terminated by employer.


Meanwhile i have applied for an Unlimited Work Permit and its status still Admisible.

On the other hand i have already found another job but authorities said that i cant work untill my single permit application approved.


My questions are:


  • As i am a third country citizen, may i get benefit from the Unemployement benefit system?


  • The gap that will occur while i am waiting for single permit and between first job end and  second job start date would be a problem for Unlimited Residence Permit > Citizenship?


  • Having unemployement benefit would have negative effect for future applications such as Unlimited Residence Permit > Citizenship?


I highly appriciete for your inputs and for your time.
