Hello all,

Me and my husband are working in Bangalore. I recently received a job offer from ING Belgium. They are initiating my work permit. I had below questions:
1. What is the procedure for applying for mine and my family's visa?
2. Which is the visa category for my spouse and my 2 children?
3. Since we hope to travel together, we will not have the necessary documents for a D visa ie resident card etc. Is it still possible to apply together?

Hello,

And again, it's gone for a ride. Your question has been asked and answered dozens of times on this website. And the answer is always the same. If you have managed to find this site, you are equally able to read the various articles already published as well as the files made available to everyone.
Have a nice day

Would you be kind enough to point me to the thread as I could only find the ones where the spouses are not traveling together, the first time.
