Depends who you use to process your application and your circumstances.
It can take a week to 2 months

Thank you dear for your reply.
Indeed, the processing time is not really clear or accurate in all cases. There is no exact time frame for that unlike in other countries.
Anyway, we need to wait then.
Hope it is gonna be worth it when we finally move there, feeling really concerned with life there....

ABDEL2511: I hope that you are aware that the Special Pass is a short term (3 months, renewable for a further 3 months) permit. Not a work permit that is usually valid for 2 years.

Just I wanted to know how much time it would take to be issued. Is it a month or more?
