Applied for Visa D at UK Embassy, there was a long wait (3 months) for appointments but I called the helpline and they managed to fast track my slot really easily
Embassy appointment: 07/02/2022
VISA returned to me: 14/02/2022
The process is very long, all I can say is just have patience, now just starting to pack and prepare for the move

Hello everybody! I'm a bit confused with the process of the single permit as is my first time requesting it, maybe someonecan help me clear some doubts. Once I got my RP I'll get the Annex 46 to apply for the visa and travel to Belgium, right? After that I need to register to the commune and get the ID to star working? So maybe one more month of wait? I understood from my employer that once I'm in Belgium I can start working.
Thanks!

what do you mean by Receptive?
@Annie2005 from my experience once you receive Annex 46 you will need to allow another month for embassy appointment/returning passport, when this is done you can move and start working
@Al_brx no idea also. my employer told me that the status of my single permit is "receptive"
-@djpalace2000
you should have received your WP in the end of December or in January. I would advice you to call or send an e-mail to Vlaanderen DEPARTEMENT WERK & SOCIALE ECONOMIE and ask them the status of your WP

My Timeline :

Application date: 03/02/2023
Annex 46: 21/02/2023
I got annex 46, 18 days after the date of submission.
However, I require Annex 46 for my traineeship at the European Commission. So perhaps the European Commission's "factor" accelerated the process.
