Hi All,
I am Turkish Citizen and got an offer from a company in Belgium. My company applied for work permit for me last month. Once I get the work permit approval, I am going to apply for RP with my family via VFS Global in Turkey. How could I find the required documents list for my dependents' application?
It would be great if you could help me.
Many thanks,

Hello all,
I have heard that those that currently live in Belgium and have a valid stay permit from a previous employer can start their work without obtaining Annex 46 and after obtaining the WP.
Is that correct?
Thanks

@Nimaaaaooo yes, this is correct. Once your new WP is issued, you can already start with your new employer while waiting the RP. But you need first to have respected the notice period and officially resigned from your previous employer.

@ledio82 your employer could help you also with booking an appoitment for visa application, and waiting time could be less than 2 weeks.

@Krishna.Kumar1 we have the same timeline. My WP was approved on 11 May.
I hope we can get the RP by next week. I had an appointment on VFS Global for 20th of July.
If I miss it there seems like no appointment slots open for a while (in our country). I don't know why.

Hi,
what to do after getting Annex 46? I believe I should get the Annex 49 to start working.
In Ixelle, should I email the foreigner's office or directly make an appointment via the website for residency A application? The problem is that the first available time is in September, does this mean I won't be able to work until then? or can I already start working using Annex 46?
37
Hi, you can call your local commune or just take an appointment and drop by. They give you annex 49 on the same day.
With annex 46 normally, you can also start working as I know but call your commune to check.

Once Single Permit received and we go to embassy, consulate or VFS what type of visa we need to apply? There two options which are single permit and work permit on VFS and I am very confused. Does anyone knows the answer? Thank you
2
@Meric Erdeviren Hi!
I think "Single permit" for employees and "Professional card" for self-employed
38
@Meric Erdeviren you can choose work permit visa. It actually doesn't really matters.
Btw, would you be able to find slots to make a reservation? Because last time I check there were no available slots.

@ismtbgy thank you. I haven't received my single permit yet however I am applying from Dubai. I am somehow have the feeling to receive single permit during this month hence wanted to check the first week of august for the visa part

@leonidk thank you

Hi everyone!
Please feel free to delete this if I'm posting in the wrong place, but I have the following question:
My employer is going to apply for my single permit. If I'm coming from a country that doesn't need a visa to enter Belgium, do I still need to apply for a visa after my SP is issued? Or can I enter Belgium with a tourist visa and collect SP from the commune?
Thank.
37
@jacklob Hello, I think you still need to apply for a long-term VISA. You cannot enter Belgium on as a toursit and then ask for a residence permit at the commune.

if you're Latvian you're EU... you don't need a work permit to work in Belgium...
If you're non-EU, then you'll need a worker visa even if you've a visa-free passport to come as a tourist.
