Already waited for residence permit for nearly 1 month (4 weeks) since the work permit was approved.

Anyone who got work permit around Nov 18 has any information about his/her residence permit status? Please share it. Thank you.

Hi there, an update for Brussels region:
Privacy notice email: 01.12
Work permit approved: 10.12
Single permit: waiting
My employer said it might take up to another 2-3 weeks, plus a possible delay due to the end of year holidays.
Wishing tons of patience to those who are waiting  😵â€ðŸ’«

I have learnt that the maximum processing time of a permit is 90 days. Is it normal that people don't receive the decision after 3 months?

I got work permit at Nov 24 from Brussel region. Close to your date, but still no news for residence permit.

I am also waiting for residence permit of Brussel region, I got work permit on Nov 24. My employer told me that it will take 4-6 weeks to get it. So it still has some time to go.

Hmm, that indeed doesn’t look super quick. In August 2020 it took them roughly 2 weeks for each document to issue. I was hopeful for the same this time :(

Do you know when your employer received the "letter of admission" from the Ministry? I received the privacy notice on 3 December (indeed I received the first privacy notice on 17 November, then my employer noticed that the Ministry asked for the entire pages of my passport (including blank ones) so he added the passport once again and I assume the entire process started from the very beginning   :mad: ) and on 6 December they received the admission letter which means that the documents are not complete and the process has started.

and I also would like to learn how the employer is informed on the issuance of the work permit and so on? I mean, do they need to check the online portal or do they receive an email? It is important since I do not think that they are checking the portal every single day...

I saw some one had received the work permit on Nov 18 and still did not receive residence permit. I guess it is a reference for us. Just update if you have any news. Maybe because of the holiday season is approaching.

I just received the email from employer and told me that it is approved for the work permit. No other information.

I'm sorry it takes so much time for you, I can imagine it is very unnerving, but I don't know anything about the "letter of admission" from the Ministry.
As for the platform, I know nothing either how it works, but I doubt they live in a stone age and employer doesn't receive any email notifications about the change of the status. But no one can exclude a human element in all these communications..
Wish you luck!

Work permit: 14 December
Single Permit: still waiting

guys, do you think there is a timeline difference between blue card application and single permit for highly skilled workers? I mean, does one of them takes less time than the other or is it more or less the same? what do you think?

Hello,
The legal deadline for obtaining a single permit is 120 days.
The Immigration Office has never stopped issuing a single permit because of the covid.
Yours truly
