@Brookeharley what do you mean with first time application / new employer? Are you already in Belgium or are applying for your first permit from outside of Belgium?
@moverandshaker I was in Belgium on a working holiday and applied for it from within Belgium as I found an employer to sponsor me for a working Visa
Hey folks
Any update on the permit this week?
My timelines are as folllows
No reply : 30/11/2023
Work Permit: 18/01/2024
Residence permit: still waiting
Any here who received confirmation around these timelines? Thanks
@hegdevinay96 Hey, I received my WP on 22/01/2024 and according to this thread, there is a gap between Jan 5th and Jan 18th, where we have no cases to compare to.
However, I'm optimistic about starting to see some action for us in the next 10 days let's say.
Fingers crossed and best of luck!
I just mean that we don't have any active members with WP between Jan 5th and 18th so we can't know what's happening in the background at the immigration office when they are processing dates in that interval. We can only wait and see
Finally got the annex 46.
First time application - Flanders
Submitted - 01/12/23
Admissible - 17/01/24
Work Permit - 23/01/24

I had asked the HR to enquire at the immigration department this week. That might have expedited my application a bit.
Good luck to everyone who are waiting for theirs!
@xazarmehdizade I am in Belgium.
@murarilal @moverandshaker Good news! Congrats guys and best of luck!
@moverandshaker is your case in Flanders?
Thanks! hopefully yes.
My HR called them today and they said that they are indeed processing application with a WP between 8th and 24th of January and that the processing time is between 11 weeks (which is this week for me) and 14 weeks. Let's see!
