Processing time for a fresh new single permit for Brussels

Post new topic

Hi all
I’m currently living in Korea, planning to move to Brussels as I got to have a new job there.

However my whole schedule has been messed up, since the single permit procedure is turning out to take longer than i expected.

I did read some of the other threads on this, but still want more information to at least have a chance to guess when mine will be done.

My case:
Application submitted:5/10
Work permit:6/24
Residence permit: waiting

Hi Jenna,

How are you doing ? Welcome to Expat.Com!

I hope you will get some feedback soon! Have you been in contact with authorities ?

Regards,
Bhavna

Hello Jenna,
Your annex 46 could be expected by end of August if I would compare to the timelines from other threads.

@Bhavna I did. but the only answer I got from the immigration office was ‘no tracking system available’, and that it takes 8-10 weeks of procedure

Hello Jenna,

@ismtbgy single permit didn’t take longer only two days ?
