Timelines Card A and card L renewal

DaryaSh

Hey expats ,


Wanted to share my current timelines - applied simultaneously for renewal of A card (UNlimited access to labour market ) and card L ( 5 years work) on 12th Feb.


A card renewal is taking a long time - anyone experiencing something similar ?

The processing of A card should not take much time. 4 weeks are enough to get a decision on it. Check with your commune on the status update.

Every case is different, and remember they have other cases to deal with not just yours.

Thanks ! I was surprised by how quick it was too! Maybe because my case is simple - 5 years work for a Belgian employer
