I don't know what is taking so long for them to give an answer. It has been 4 month already.


My HR got in contact with person who has been handling my case. He sent an email on 22nd November that it still requires little bit of time.


It has been really frustrating1f623.svg

Still no WP approval??


They also told me the same. It seems that there are still some people waiting, who have the same timeline with us. So, let’s try not to worry although it is difficult…

@Expat11111 did you receive your wp?

Hello everyone!


My hosting organization is applying now for a Single Permit in Brussels, since I’m a citizen of third world country and currently I live in Czech Republic, I will need apply for a VISA D. But I have a question, can I apply for a Visa D with Work Permit approval or I should also wait for Annexe?


“Once you will get the visa D, you go to Belgium and within 8 working day you need to register at the local Belgian municipality and apply for the Belgian residency card.” that’s what the embassy said. Is the Annexe and residency card the same thing?

Thank you in advance.

@2ticketstoGhent


I have recently checked my emails and my file was sent to Immigration for processing around 7th September.


So I hope now they will be giving me answer regarding my work permit status and soon hopefully.

To all those people whose destination is Wallonia. Could you, please, share your timelines? Here is mine (first-time application)...
No reply: 16 Sept. 2022
WP: 21 Sept. 2022
RP: Waiting

I can see that Flanders and Brussels are already issuing RPs to applicants who got their WPs in October, and this leaves me wondering about the order of priority at the Immigration Office (I have applied as a highly qualified worked)
-@Raga91


Still haven't heard from those in charge of processing the permit, and it doesn't make sense as my employers haven't been told anything is wrong with my application. One thing I can see is that there's no clear pattern for Wallonia but for the fact that work permits are granted within days.

The only choice I have is to keep waiting ^_^

@sch19

applied on 25/08 for Brussels,

waiting for annex 46…..

immigration authorities have timeline of 15 week from date of issuance of WP. So we should get it in next week.

2ticketstoGhent

@bhagwanbsr


It was 8-10 weeks after the WP approval. Who informed you that it takes 15 weeks? Is it immigration office?

GuestPoster2101

@bhagwanbsr

I was told 8-10 weeks after WP approval as well (for Brussels, to be precise).


When was your WP approved? Can you please share the date?

bhagwanbsr

@Rucha Vaishampayan

For Brussels it is 8-10 weeks. Even if you send an email you’ll get the same standard timeline. But our immigration agency spoke to them and they informed that they are having serious delays currently. The processing time is 15 weeks for files from Brussels. Few files go for additional checks( public safety etc, which delays the process further by 3-4 weeks)

my WP was approved on 05th Sept.

MS10_07

@bhagwanbsr Yes, it seems like the whole of the Brussels zone migrations is sleeping. I haven't seen any of annexure 46 getting approved so far in the previous month. I applied for mine on 6 October and got the WP in 10 days but since then there is no update. I am waiting for annexure 46 to start my job, I am already in Belgium since I was a student here. It's demoralizing now.


Please update if you receive anything. Thanks for the information about the current delays in the Migrations office in Brussels zone

@hypatiaa Today i have tried to get in contact with townhall for Anex15 . Auto record said that "Due to cyber attack they cant access to database"

Also contacted with  MIGRATION ECONOMIQUE they said that "everything is ok with file and  they are processing."


With this hard working determination i guess soon they will split the atom in Brussel.
