seems like it took very long time. Was it fresh application or renewal ?

Guest12645

Hey, guys!

Does anyone know which dates are currently being processed in Flanders? My application was made in the first week of January this year, but I'm sure they haven't reached January applications yet.

Thanks!

How is it possible that you got the social security email (27 Jan) AFTER the work permit approval (21st Jan)?

when did you submit the application ? Are you looking for WP or RP ? WP will take nearly 3 months and RP will take another 5-6 weeks.

As I wrote above, my application was submitted by the company in the first week of January 2022. Received the social security email on January 7th, 2022.

I'm fully versatile on how the entire process (and the wait time) of the single permit application works. My question remains if anyone knows or has any information on which dates/blocks of dates that are being currently processed, especially for applications made in Flanders.

Last block of dates I saw on this forum mentioned applications from the 16th of November 2021 being processed. That was in February. I just want to guage where the authorities currently are in their processing.

Thanks!

I have an update.

Region: Flanders

Application: 10th Feb 2022
WP: 28th Feb 2022
SP: Waiting

I had a special situation, my employer actually started my process on 10th Oct 2021 but something went wrong along the way so reapplied on 10th Feb 2022. It is faster in my case because of this, there is no evidence to that but there is no explanation I can think of.

Single permit office also said they will decide on SP until the end of the month.
The annoying thing is there are no visa application appointment slots available at my local handler (VFS in Turkey).

For Flanders, they are processing files dated 07/02/2022
