Hello.. I live in Italy and have a contract offer as a highly skilled worker in Belgium. My employer applied for single permit and recently I received a work permit; but, in order to apply for a visa D, it is indicated that I must have a full songle permit and a valid Italian residence permit. My Italian residence permit is still valid, but it will expire in a month. Can I apply for a visa D with the work permit only before receiving my Belgian annex 4..?


Has anyone had a similar experience with Belgian visa D policies?

Thanks

EUROPEAN Connection

You don't necessarily have to apply a you country of citizenship, you can apply at country of residence, which is, in your case, an Italy. You already have the positive decision about work authorization, so you can apply for D visa in Belgian consulate in Italy.

Alternatively, considering tat you are already in Schengen zone, and don't need access to the territory, you can travel to Belgium, rent an apartment, and ask local municipality (commune) to proceed your application.

hello everyone. I have a 1-year work and residence permit (annex46). In which category will I make an appointment with the consular agency? because a new single permission category has been opened. I used to take a work permit appointment before, now I don't know which one to get. because the list of documents in both categories is different. What documents did those who receive annex 46 submit to the consulate?

I applied for my visa type D for PhD on 13th March from Belgium Embassy Islamabad, Pakistan. On 15th the embassy informed me that my file has been forwarded to immigration office in Belgium. No news of visa as of yet, I am not even able to track my application status on ibz. However, the usual time it took for PhDs recently to have their visa is within 20 days. I am confused why is my case taking so much time.

It takes almost around 2.5 weeks, you will soon get your passport in the upcoming week.

Hello,

We applied for Type D visa for me and family reunification visa for my wife and child together on 4th Sep 2023. As per embassy they have given me the Visa but for my wife and child the file is sent to FPS and will take 4-5 months.. My understanding was you get visa together if you apply at the same time. Does anyone had similar situation?

Thanks in advance for the response.

hibbasaleem18

@divsviet

They gave you a visa within a week?

Where did you apply from?

In the past, they used to process both appliactions (WP holder and dependents) at the same time in the consulate itself. Nowadays the trend is to send dependents file to Belgium. It is unfortunate. You will have to wait for FPS decision, no other go.

divsviet

@AKA Ayu hello, Yes we applied at VFS Delhi and dependents were also covered by employer.

divsviet

@AKA Ayu

i an still waiting for my dependent’s visa so not sure yet.

divsviet

@AKA Ayu

good for you then it

means dependent file was not sent to FPS…right?

also did you apply for u and dependent together?

divsviet

@AKA Ayu

Congratulations :)

divsviet

@Aneesh
