Change of residence address when single permit was in process

Hello,


I recently moved from one commune in Flanders to another after my single permit extension was filed. I have already updated my address with the new commune and the verification process is complete.


However, I received my annexure 46 for my new employer change at my old commune.


Since I need to start working for my new employer next week, I'm unsure whether I should apply for my new residence card at my old commune or the new one.


Considering that the residence authorization was sent to my old commune, should I go there? Or should I request a new authorization from my new commune? I'm a bit concerned about the time constraint.


If anyone has any insights, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thank you.

Edigj

Ask this to your new commune, they will align with your old one.
