Dear all ,


I have an A card which is valid till 01.06.2025 and i am working and living  officially in BE since 10.02.2020.

When we consider that my 5 years for L card request will be completed at 11.02.2025 and 01.03.2025 i should apply for replacement of A card.

In this case should i go for A card ?

Or should i apply for L in February 2025.

Or should i apply for both in different times?


Thanks for your inquires.

If I were you i would apply for L-card on 11.02.2025, and 2 months before expiry of my A card i would also renew A card as L-card might take 5 months+, just to be on safe side so that i always have a valid residence permit.
