Lay off - Single Permit

Post new topic

Tsovinar

Hello everyone,

I was laid off from my current job and my company told me I will have 3 months to either find another job or leave the country.

Considering the situation in job market now I am afraid 3 months won't be enough to find another job. Do you know if there are any ways to extend that period ? And in case I find a job do you know how long the new permit will it take to be approved and if I will be allowed to stay in Belgium and wait for my new single permit here ?

Looking forward to some information !

If you find a new job, under recent changes in regulation, your employer can transfer the current permit to their name. Recently in 2020, one of my friends have done the same.

Thanks for the reply :) do you know how much time it took to get the permit transferred ?

I was checking with my previous employer, they had no clue about this procedure.

Do you know how this procedure is called ? or do you have any link where I can read more about it ?

It will be really really helpful :)  Looking forward to your reply.
