Hi,

I'm Egyptian living in France, and I have an offer from a Belgian employer and we signed a contract. My employer filed for my work permit on October 28th, and we still have no updates. Does anyone know (hopefully through experience) how long the process usually takes?

Thank you very much in advance.

3 weeks is normal wait time. It may extend one week or two depending on the workload of the ministry.
