Is there anyone recently applied for an L card in Antwerpen ? How long it took from application to contact back?

According to their website its written that they are now evaluating the applications from 10.12.2024. And last week was 06.12.2024.

It seems like they are evaluating 3-4 applications per week.

I applied at 01.01.2025 . But since then no one contacted me back to ask documents etc.

How you applied ? Which documents you gave them?

In Ixelles, I didn’t need to make an appointment. I first went to ask which card I should apply for, and then I returned with all the required documents to apply directly. They gave me two papers for the appointment to pick up the L card after 5 months + 1 day. If my application is not approved, they will notify me. I did not apply online.

Required documents:

Criminal record

Three recent payslips

Insurance

Passport

I am currently waiting for a response from IBZ.

So in Antwerpen , to make an appointment to giving those required documents you need to wait minimum 2 months.

Probably then , they will give me another date slot to give documents, and after 5 more months waiting for decision.

After a short holiday period congrats you get the card in 2026.

When I applied it was just applying online and submitting payslips and mutuality registration.
