Hello everyone,

I got my orange card 12th of July, and since I cannot go abroad. I am currently working with a nice salary (in somewhere, I read that it also effect the decision given) so I wonder how long would it take in general to get an F card?

At my commune they said to call on the day the 6 month wait is over, not a day sooner because for some reason my commune believes the Belgian government waits until the very last day of those 6 months to share their decision. I hope to see others weigh in, I don鈥檛 know if this is true or not

@Clouderzzz

hi, is it 6 months from the day you receive the orange card or 6 months from the day you receive the annex 19th, because i have heard that the annex 19 is released the very day you have the appointment at the commune to submit the documents but the orange card is received some months after, after police check etc etc

m thanks
