Idk if it's just me or are you all stressing the hell out given the current delays and COVID impact on potential travel ban..

Bans occur generally for touristic purposes.

Does anyone know how much time it takes the consulate to stamp the Visa D after someone gets the single permit??

sure but there isn't a fixed formula now and never was. Sorry to remind you of bad times but last year some countries also had full flight bans regardless of "purpose".

gavish121

If anyone has any update on the final single permit kindly update.

I think it depends on embassy + immigration.
but mine said 1-2 weeks, unless your file has any mistakes/problems, then we take up to a month.

Hello Everyone!
Am I understanding correct that the region where application will be processed depends on address where company is actually registered?
So in other words, if company registered in Brussels- it will be Brussels region?

Thanks!

In this case you may have to wait another month, I guess.

Exacltly, depending where is located your company.

Flander
Brussels
Wallonia

As far as I followed, most of companies are located in Flanders and Brussels area.

vmase

Got it, thanks!

And as far as I can see from previous posts here, generally there is no processing time difference between Flanders and Brussels regions?

Like the first step was in Oct that is submission of application?  It took me 2.3 months just to get WP so I doubt it.
