My case :

Application Date : 10th dec'21 
WP : 10th fev’22
RP : Waiting 
Region : Flanders

Please is there a risk that the immigration service will give an unfavorable opinion when I had the approval of the regional authorities or they just take a lot of time now ?! do you have any idea how long it takes on this periode of march/april ?!

Hey! 

How do you know the WP is approved, is there any email? I know my status has changed to 'positive decision work' in the system - is that it?

@krosh 
Hi Krosh,
My employer told me and shared with me the approval pdf.
Where did you track your status to see a positive decision? Could you share that link?
Thanks

@gafarvictoir hey!
Thank you for the explanation. The change of status was in the system where the employer has uploaded my documents for the permit. No pdf file was shared.

@krosh
Yes, the positive decision is approval of work permit.
Next stage is approval of residence permit.

Congratulations.  I received an email that they had problems with my salary in the contract. It was less than standard.  But its my "stage" period and the salary is low. I'm waiting about their decision.

@Mike Candel
Hi, average duration range is 4vweeks to 8weeks.
From last two months, a faster conversion rate is observed, so consider 4-6 weeks.
Thanks

Hi everyone
Has anyone received annex 46 recently?

My timeline:
Application: 1st December 2021
Work permit: 22 February
Annex 46: Waiting
Does anyone know still how much time it will take to get Annex46?
If I knew that it is going to take that amount of time I would never search for job in Belgium.

Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding the adminstrative costs for the single permit (366 euros). The HR applied for the work permit and did not ask me for the payment. So, does the company normally pay this fee or should I pay it?
Thank you!

You or the company can pay for it.
In my case, I paid and the company reimbursed me. They told me it helps save time.
