Residence part 10th April 2026. is today.

Single Permit - First Time

24th Dec, 2025 — Positive decision Work

8th April 2026 — In treatment by Office

When can i expect to hear back from immigration on the final decision. Anyone can guide?

No one knows frankly. I applied for unlimited single permit. My work part was approved on 9th January 2026. I got my residence part today ie 10 april 2026.

guys, after getting your residency/single permit/annex 46, the next step would be to apply for Visa D right ? How long is it taking ? I applied for Visa D from abroad for me and my family. I already have residency/single permit/annex 46. Now im waiting for the Visa D to be issued from the Immigration Office in Belgium. The status says In Treatment. Any idea how long does this process take ?

Hey everyone,

Is there anyone applying for Brussels, first-time single permit, who got their work permit in January and has already received their residence permit recently?

I got my work permit on January 20 and I’m still waiting, just trying to see if things are moving or if others are in the same situation.

Thanks!

@LavenderTiger hi, my work permit was approved on Feb 2 (first timer in Brussels) and I’m also still waiting. I hope we both hear soon!

Hey everyone,

Is the expected start date on the work permit taken into account during the residence permit approval process, or is it independent?

Thanks!

@BKD_BKD

Hi, it’s independent, they just treat each file by order of priority in the sense whatever comes first gets an answer first unless there’s something blocking.

@zayneb166

thank you!

You need to book an appointment with your commune where you’re resident and do the process for annex 49.

any updates ?

@Naouel cherif

No I didn’t unfortunately, I also contacted them they said we can’t give you a timeline we just process everything by order of priority. And the partners taking care of my process said currently it takes up to 17 weeks I don’t know if anybody did renewal for single permit in January and got a feedback…

@zayneb166

you were end of January , mine is beggining of February so basically once you have it I should expect mine !

Please let me know here once you receive it !

Thanks let's pray together!!

@everyone

Has anyone applying for a first-time single permit received their residence permit? I’d like to know how long it took to be prepared

@Kackarli

If you track the decisions about your application in , you will find it there.

But you need your eID/token or itsme to access it.

@mdaliatbe

How to open this account, I need to pay I register online only?

@JERALDSON AALA

for first time applicants, your employer can track. For renewal cases in Belgium, you must have eid / registered to itsme.

@User_0409

Haven you got any feedback ?

@mdaliatbe

OK thank you!

Any news from anybody doing a renewal ??

Hello,

I am currently holding a valid single permit till 2028 ... My company recently applied for Eu blue card as well for which I got the positive work decision today.

Now the question is .. Can i travel (outside EU) for 2-3 weeks while my application is in process while I hold a valid resident card? And what if a decision is made while I am abroad?

Your Single Permit is valid for re-entry into the EU until the last day mentioned on the card. Applying for a new status does not void your current card.

In some regions, you may request a Fiktionsbescheinigung (temporary certificate) to provide explicit legal proof of your status while waiting for the physical Blue Card.
