Single Permit Processing Time - 2023
It has been 108 days since the No-reply email. Don't know how many more days will have to wait for SP.
@rohitbhowal02 did you get the work permit ?
You should expect your SP by mid or end January hopefully

the site said it may take 3 months to get a Sp after a wp, so disappointing.
@Zoe Run it's too long
Hi all,
First time application, highly skilled employee.
Region: Flandre
No-reply Email: 03/11/2023
Work permit: 15/12/2023
SP: Still Waiting
Good luck to all.
My employer had received my WP on 13 Nov 2023. Now I am waiting for my RP, so that my SP can issued. Now since it is taking an unusually long time for my RP, is there any chance that RP getting rejected even after WP getting accepted ! Just wondering.
@rohithowal02 There doesn't seem to be any evidence of that on these forums. It's just taking a long time.
This seems normal with visa processing. I've experienced 8 over the last 20+ years, mostly in the US. Like most public sector processing it's very inefficient, and there is little continuous improvement thinking to speed things up. I hear from my Belgian lawyer that they are understaffed and overworked. Which I read as slow to process.
@rohitbhowal02 I honestly had the same thought about the rejection.
But looking at the website the actual processing time of the RP after a positive WP, is 9-10 weeks, so you're still safe.
I believe you should start expecting it by the 13th of january.
Good luck
Happy new year everyone!
Any good news this week?
@Hml89 happy new year, unfortunately people are not posting about getting the RP
Down is a number of experiences people in a situation like us shared last year in this forum:
I guess issuing residence permits accelerates after second week of the new year.

According to the web, it’s obvious the process period in last year is shorter than that in this year.
