Hi,
Yes according to the new Single Permit, dependents can work full time without special work permit.

The working status is however linked to the work permit / RP of the person he or she is dependent on. If the main single work permit is cancelled, it will also affect the dependents right to work.

All the best.

Cheers,
N

In the case that the dependent spouse gets a job or admission shortly before the expiration of the duration of the visa of the spouse on account of whom they stay in Belgium; should the independent spouse return to his country and apply family reunion if he doesn't get any change of visa status within the 3months extension?
