New Single Work Permit Procedure - Belgium

Yes, here is the data from a trusted source

Date of Application: 4th June 2019
Work Permit Approved on:  4th July 2019
Single Permit Approved on: 22nd July 2019, valid for 3 years
Region: Flanders

I believe Flanders region is being processed faster. Brussels and Wallonia are lagging behind. Isn't it?

Good job mate!

Hi red.dust,

Thanks for the latest info...

Is the following info then not relevant anymore?
Date of Application: 19th April 2019
Application Acceptance: 2nd May 2019
Region Work Permit Approval: 10th May 2019
Residence Permit Approval from Foreign Office: Pending
Consular for Visa D: Canberra, Australia

Regards
Eben

I applied for Flanders on 22Feb, Got Employment approval on 22nd Mar. Single permit still not received.
5 months from application filed date and 4 months from employment approval date.

This is relevant as well. I have provided info for two people.

Noted thanks

3 years single permit -- is it possible in Brussels region ?

Does it mean that you have a working permit and also residence permit valid for 3 years with the same employer ?

Hi red.dust

I had to look twice at the info you sent yesterday...wow that approval went unbelievably quick.

Flanders region seems to be faster than the other regions with issuing of single permit.

Cheers and good luck
Eben

Hi Everyone,
Another attempt with more information. Apologies for the format, I am not a graphics designer and battle with spacing etc.
Columns are: area, application date, admissible date, Work permit date, Single permit date, Days between Admissible date and SP, Days between WP and SP.
I hope this makes sense, the information is what I extracted from each and every post on the this thread and the data that is left out is because I just couldn't find it in the posts.
Good luck with deciphering/decryption of the post    

Eben
P.S There are a lot more data in the posts but my thoughts were to analyse the posts with at least a combination of App date, Adm date, WP date and/or SP date.

If anyone would like to have the raw data to better the format I would gladly share.

Tested format - excuse me

Hi everyone,

Hi everybody.

I had an appointment to apply for Visa D with the Belgium embassy in Paris yesterday (26/07/2019) and I got my Visa D immediately. However, I faced some problems for my wife. So for all who apply for Visa from a country different than their home country, be aware that you need to have all of your documents translated and legalized by the Belgium embassy in your home country. I pleaded that I have not been living in my home country for about four years and I have no access there but they embassy officials said there is nothing they can do. Also, you need to have travel insurance worth 30000 Euros for at least three months to apply for a dependent Visa D. They told us though that when we prepare these documents, my wife will get her Visa right away too. So I booked another appointment for my wife and now try to prepare these documents. Overall the Visa experience was quite fast and positive.

Wish everybody good luck.

I observed that majority of applicants here are Indians. Indians really travel a lot.

Secondly, majority of the applications are for jobs located in the Flemish/Flanders region. Maybe more jobs are located in this region.

My question is to those who has submitted police clearance certificate. Did you legalize this police document at the Belgium embassy only or at both the ministry of foreign affairs and Belgian embassy in your home country?

I have read this topic from the beginning, and I discovered that only the medical certificate legalisation was discussed. For the medical certificate, it was mentioned that only embassy legalisation is required because the doctor is already recognised by the Belgian embassy.

What about the police clearance certificate? What sort of legalisation is required?

@Kostadorn, are you still waiting for your Annex 47?

I contacted DVZ office and the medical certificate has not to be legalized if and only if it's published from a doctor recognized by the embassy, otherwise you have to legalize it from MoFA and the Belgium Embassy, regarding the Police Record Certificate, about my self I legalized it from both MoFA and the Belgium Embassy, also in the Embassy they treated the Certificate Translation Paper as a 2nd document to be legalized so in the embassy I paid twice for legalizing the Police Certificate with its Translation Paper (You have to legalize both, the certificate itself and its translation)

The police certificate has to be translated to English/or french/or dutch/or german, authorized by a notar, then legalized via the apostil (at the Ministry of Affairs).  This is all i did for mine, no legalization from the embassy.

Okay. Maybe the embassy legalisation is not compulsory. But it is worth doing.
