Well, this seems to be a common scenario. I wish there is a clear procedure, but every time I call the local commune I get different responses.I hope the order of applying L and renewing A doesn't matter in this case then. In theory, it is possible ... Read More

@ashiseverywhere Thanks for your response.As far as I know, annex is for 45 days, and can be extended twice. What if L-card is not published even after extensions? Read More

Change of employer with Single Permit - Onbepaalde Duur?
Hi,I have a single permit with unlimited duration (onbepaalde duur) from Flanders, so it is not tied to a specific company. As far as I know, I should be able to change jobs like a Belgium citizen: resign, and after notice period, start to your new ... Read More

Why that option of unlimited single permit after 4 years of work聽is needed at all if the one can apply for card D after 5 years.I think most people use this option for two reasons:if they renew A card, then it is another 3 years to apply D card ... Read More

TLDR: You do NOT need to resign now, as far as I know.This is an interesting question, which apparently no one (including Flemish employment authorities) has a clear answer.It happened to me recently. We set the start date with new employer 9 weeks ... Read More

Thanks so much for your response Saad! So, as far as I keep my right of residence, my previous work period of almost two years will still count. Do you know how I can keep my right of residence? I mean, my current residence card still has 1 year ... Read More

Hi Thriloks, Thanks for your message. I don't understand this part: "you have to stop working within a week after your new SP application is submitted" I was told that new SP is valid from the start date, so I can continue working ... Read More

Okay here is the situation: We picked a start date of September 13, and I signed a document that I will resign according to my notice period (3 weeks before it). They confirmed that this is enough for new SP application, and I do not need to inform ... Read More
