Application date  13/11

Annex 46 waiting

Region Brussels

Application date (renewal): 6 Nov 2024

Admissible: no news

WP/PR: still waiting

A question to all: did anyone experience such a long review of documents for a SP renewal?  In 2023, it was my first application for a SP and with all additional requests, altogether it took 2 (two) months: October 18, 2023 - December 21, 2023! 

This year, it is already the first week of January, and my employer has not even heard about the admissibility - and this is still on the Region level!  I've heard the renewal is now treated identically to the first application.   

@ruslan.galkanov

Yes this year it is mess in Brussels.. in my case I got L card faster then renewal, at the moment my L card was approved my SP renewal even did not start to process the application and both I applied same time...

@ievgenfeldmann

Wow, interesting... I was also told about the mess in BRU which apparently had started in September 2024.

@ruslan.galkanov

Po Pizde vse poshlo 🤣

@ievgenfeldmann

HI

congrats!

When did you apply for the L card, when was it approved 

How did they inform you?

Did you check Mon Dossier?

Because I am waiting for the approvment

Thank you

@Mai Rose

Commune will send u an email , but u should keep asking them as they tend to delay. U will not see in Mon Dossier only after u activate  the card. Applied October 1 received December 8

Question, in my A card it states that the expiry date is 8/Feb/2025. At this moment I'm still waiting for the residence permit (annex 46). My question is, what happens if it reaches 8/Feb/2025 and there's still no decision for my residence permit?

Also, once I get my residence permit, then it's straightforward that I just go to my town hall to collect my new residence card?

@glassofsoda

U have to stop working or get annex

I called IBZ today to check on the status of my application and they just said that my file is still being processed and it could take up to 4 months. They said it could be quicker than the 4 months but they wouldn't give me an estimate... Anybody here received their RP already from WPs approved in October?

SP: waiting

Question: will I be able to see the status of my SP when it's approved on the website? I could follow the status until the work permit but since then there has been no changes.

@julia.shew

Wow it takes so long!! Do they take into account the starting date of the job ? I need to start in February and my WP was approved in December

@Yasaman Hedayat

I did not know one could follow anything online.  Supposedly, it is only your employer who can do that.   

@Unknown fan

I don't think so... The work contract that my employer submitted gave a start date of November 1, 2024.
