Renewal of single permit

Post new topic

Aycan Gunal

Hello,


My single permit is valid until 26.11.2026.


I want to do a secondary side job that is why I will apply for a professional card.


I want my stay should be based on single permit and not based on professional card.


They say my company has to apply for a single permit again.


While waiting the decision of DVZ, can I continue to work and stay in Belgium?


Thanks.
