Hi Everyone, Here is my process of single permit:

Application submitted: 26th Oct
WP approval : 18th Jan

Good luck for everyone.

That's great news, it looks like Immigration Office process is shortened - less than 3 weeks.

Good for you! My WP approval date is exactly the same, but still no news. Hopefully soon!

There is new update in Economic Migration Department website that the processing time is nine weeks, earlier it was 10 weeks. Hope the the backlogs are getting reduced and processing time may reduce.

What was the issue with the Medical Certificate

Medical Certificate given to me by my HR was a colored Printout form both in English and French however the medical form required by authorities was only a normal French one so they didn't accepted it even though all the contents in both forms are similar.

Annex 46 - Waiting

Hello everyone,

Region: Flanders
Application: 7th Oct 2021- no mail from social security

My employer had difficulties with the web portal of Federal Public Services, so I assume my WP approval as 10th Feb.

Any idea how much time it will take until Annex 46?
And is there a mail address I can ask this?

Thanks

Maybe ask the HR of your company to contact the responsible department in Flanders.
Good Luck 🤞

Hello guys just a question, and it may seem a bit stupid. Is there any difference to the work permit being admissible and approved or are they the same thing? I got an email from my future Belgian employer (Flanders) a PDF file (Ontvankelijkheidsmelding_aan_aanvrager-SP) and I'm not sure if this then indicates that my work permit is already approved or admissible or if there's any difference between those two.

Right now the lead time for Residence Permit is 4 to 6 weeks, I got my WP 5 weeks ago.

Still you were lucky I applied on 27 Oct and got WP on 26 Jan. Still waiting for the RP. Probably your company had a kind of prioritization agreement

Once WP IS APPROVED did your employer receive they work permit copy

yes they shared with me

What does positive decision work mean which is mentioned as status in the portal

which portal?
can you please send steps and links you used to check

And is the shared file of your approved work permit a PDF file with a file name (Ontvankelijkheidsmelding_aan_aanvrager-SP) ?

Only the employer has the access to the portal.

So basically the PDF file that employer sent me is different to the official work permit approval?

My update:
Flanders region
submitted 30 Sep 2021
WP 13 Dec 2021
Annex 46 21 Feb 2022

Just a reminder: if you are already in Belgium, with WP+annex 49, you are allowed to work.

a long wait for me but finally got it! good luck guys.

congrats
