@Edigj thanks, so if I understand correctly - I apply for the B or L card once I've been a resident for 5 years and once I get the B or L card I can then apply for citizenship? How long is the delay to gain citizenship once I have the B or L card? Read More

@mapsofmeaning I'm not sure the part about citizenship is correct. I dont believe you need to hold the B or L card for 5 years before applying for citizenship. Instead I understand that you must have resided in Belgium for 5 years before applying ... Read More

@arjunprasad2143 has the employer already committed to paying the fee?. They do not always. If they did I'd recommend your friend to follow up with them and ask if it was paid. I had to submit proof of payment of the fee with my visa D application ... Read More

@arjunprasad2143 you can find information on the admin fee on the office des etrangers website. Note however that if you are applying for a Visa D from your home country, the embassy or consulate might also charge a separate fee. Read More

@djpalace2000 I can't speak to the other types of Visa, but if one of the applicants received an Annexe 46 and is applying for a Visa D from their home country, it is indeed possible for the spouse to apply for family reunification at the same time. ... Read More

@Karan Verma87 I do, I'll send you a PM Read More

@wejwess you could ask them yes. I know Brussels Economy provides a file number. Not sure about the other regions though Read More

@wejwess Do you have your file number for the WP request? You could try contacting the commune yourself and inquiring. Read More

Anyone else wishing they had been able to apply through the Flanders region? I'm very envious of some the much faster timelines posted on here! Read More

@Ajahan I would email your commune. In Ixelles they told me I could just come in without making an appointment. Read More

@Berryknots8 I emailed them on December 2nd (!) and never heard back. I tried to call several times but didn't get through to anyone after 1+ hour of being on hold Read More

@Peterjohn123 I'll reply quickly here because I don't think it's fair that we clog this thread with posts irrelevant to the topic. While it would be best for folks to first use Google and contact the Immigration Office to search for answers, it ... Read More

@SimCityAT Sure, but that does not actually answer the original question that was asked. So let's see if anyone has any insight. Perhaps someone has managed to get a Office des Etrangers rep on the line to confirm Read More

@bhagwanbsr that's not exactly correct. If the single permit applicant put down a foreign address on their application, the single permit response (annex 46/47) will be sent to both the employer and the applicant's address abroad. It really depends ... Read More

@MS10_07 I'll try to answer your questions to the best of my knowledge1. In the previous comments, I have seen WP be processed first and then Annexe 46, but my employer's agency told me that now it's a single permit and you receive both together (in ... Read More
