Unlimited Single Permit Flanders

Post new topic

Nov Rain87

Hello,

In december I will complete 4 years residing in Flander Region with card A, but during this period I didn't work all the time, (I worked more than 3.6 years).

Am I eligible to apply for unlimited single permit, or I must complete 4 years of working in Belgium?

Someone had the same situation??

Thank you in advance...

Hello,

Thank you for your reply and your time.

I already read this info but still not sure about the process.

Hello,

Process is

  1. You will apply for unlimited single permit with requested documents.
  2. Your request will be evaluated by region.
  3. If needed, additional documents will be asked.
  4. If you are eligible for it single permit  will  be issued.
  5. If issued your filll be transferred to ibz for residence permit
  6. If positive decision taken your file will be transferred to your municipality.
  7. You will be invited for your card  type a by municipality

For 3.6years working you can try your chance by applying single permit.

Good luck.

It can take several months

@SimCityAT

It can be, but has no sense to take several month.

After completing 4 years if the procedure last 4-5 months why do we need the unlimited single permit?? This is ridiculous....

@Nov Rain87

Yes, but there are many factors, it depends on their workload.

In my case it took 4 months . But the problem is , when single permit is approved they are not directly contacting with you.

They sent the decisiton to your municipality. You can learn it either from municipality or directly calling ibz.

In my case i was already know that my SP approved but i cant get the approval.

They only sent first municipality then you (took 2 months after municipality recieved)

But this may vary depend of the officers..

Be patience and good luck.
