Hello all,

Can you share your waiting times after you registered to commune until the police visit? It will be a first time registration with a visa D (single permit). I want to know how long should i wait for police as it blocks many things as i won鈥檛 have a carte A without it. Especially in Namur area, i wonder. Thank you.

Therefore, after almost 3 weeks, I sent an email to the local police and asked, if possible, to do the check as soon as possible because I couldn't do many administrative tasks because of the national register number that i needed. As like dutch lessons, mutualiteit, work,...
