Congratulations


I have a question by the way.


How did you know that your WP has been approved. Did you get notify via email or were you informed via HR?

bhagwanbsr

@Moazzam Tahir

authorities does not connect with employees.

Email for both WP and SP approvals are sent to employer only.

@bhagwanbsr that's not exactly correct. If the single permit applicant put down a foreign address on their application, the single permit response (annex 46/47) will be sent to both the employer and the applicant's address abroad. It really depends on the case.

Hello everyone,

My timeline is as follows:

Brussels

Application: 5.10

WP: 10.11

RP: waiting

I have two questions. 1) I have an appointment in the TLS centre in December/January; is it okay to apply with WP and without annexe 46? 2) Due to my start date in WP being 1.12, can the employer extend the start date with Bruxelles Economie et Emploi?

Warmly

Alok1988

@AA21  AFAIK, The employer can always extend joining date depending on issue of annex 46.

To all those people whose destination is Wallonia. Could you, please, share your timelines? Here is mine (first-time application)...

I can see that Flanders and Brussels are already issuing RPs to applicants who got their WPs in October, and this leaves me wondering about the order of priority at the Immigration Office (I have applied as a highly qualified worked)

Update!

I 'm sending mails and nothing. Thank you

@amansoalie Hello, when did you receive your WP and RP?

Thank you

Newbie mom

Hello guys , any update on bruxels region ? 

it’s becoming stressful !!

VICTOR chosg

@Newbie mom

Not just you. I check my mail every hour. I don't even know what to do again.

I am just curious if there is anything else they are looking for again, especially for some of us who live here and have details of our previous years with them, or is it just a norm that they must wait for 3 to 4 months? Several questions just crossed my mind without an answer.

Please let me know if you have any responses.

DGB_

@VICTOR chosg I have a question please, even if you already live in Belgium and wanted to change employer you still need to wait for the new single permit to start working with the new employer? You can't just start with the WP?
