My single permit is rejected, and annex 48 is issued. In the annex no reason for rejection is provided. How can I know more about the reason?

@jfaroald

May I ask how many months or days you are waiting before receiving rejection, since you submitted application date for your single permit. Thank you!

@jaaloukjoseph

Hello, after Annex 46 is issued, is it possible to apply for a D visa as a family? If so, could you please provide information on how the process works? We are currently in Turkey, but the procedures are being handled in Belgium. The work permit was approved on February 12, 2026.

Hi Everyone,


I missed my job in Flanders, now I got another new job.


The new employer is going to apply for my work permit and residence permit.


My question is that, since I have already resided in Belgium, Can I start my new job after issuing  the work pemit? Before issuing single permit.



Thanks in advance

​"Hello everyone, has anyone recently received their Annex 46? Could you please share your timeline? Our work and residence permit was approved on February 12th, but we still haven’t received our Annex 46. We would greatly appreciate it if anyone with a similar timeline could share their experience."

@ozlemrahbari

Same to me..it is the first time that it takes more than 3 months for me.. Is it renew or first time?

first application .

@Mehrdad_AS

First application, but already living in belgium under student permit. what are your dates?

Hiya everyone,


Application date: 13/01/2026

Work Permit: 18/02/2026

Residence Permit: Waiting


I have been waiting 13 weeks for my RP and I emailed the immigration office last week and they said to expect a wait of 13-17 weeks for the RP. The Flanders website says that for May, RP waiting times are between 14-15 weeks so fingers crossed that February applicants like myself hear back soon.


Good luck to everybody!
