Does the work permit office share information with employees or only with employers?

for residence permit, maybe you call the local commune of the city? I was a student in Belgium and the local commune was responsible for residence permit but usually it's a ticketing system for quires with a username based on your ID & not call-based info. Won't hurt to search for a number.

they call it a bridge day, because Thurs is holiday and then one day in between, so Friday gets considered as a Holiday. This happens only if there's a holiday on Thurs. I asked a Belgian.

I just found out that next monday is a holiday too.

“ Federal public services are also closed on 2 November, 15 November (King’s Feast) and 26 December.”

On Monday it's at a Federal level, so might not apply to regional, but will check.
I am impatient, bec NL already imposed restrictions. Don't want things to get out of control and we see ourselves another Travel Ban. Unlikely but possible.
