Single Permit Processing - 2024

Mirage123 · 2024-02-01T16:32:38+01:00

Hi everyone, I'm yet to submit any official application for my work permit/visa (I blame my employers who are incredibly disorganised...) so will post my information when the time comes. They seem to want me to start at the beginning of April but from the looks of all the posts, it takes about three months in most cases to get the whole thing processed, so I doubt that's going to happen. Is that indeed the case? Are there any other factors that might influence the time it takes? (For context, I'm British but based in France so will be applying from here) Thanks!

@mandymanu1995

what do you mean with with ”no-reply email”? is it the one you get when the application Is filed and that says something about the privacy policy?

Hello! Do you know if when the SP is released I need to be in my country to take it to the embassy or can I already be in Belgium with a tourist visa and complete the visa process in Belgium? I already have the WP, I'm waiting for the SP, and I wanted to move in July so I can start looking at a house to rent.

@Chicks24

WP is the work permit, which is the first step to having the SP, Single Permit. After the WP, the process continues to release the SP, which takes longer.
