The full guide
The Single Permit is actually two authorizations processed together — work authorization handled at the regional level (Flanders, Wallonia, or Brussels) and residence authorization handled federally by the DGNE. Which region your job is in genuinely matters for how fast this moves: Flanders runs a 'fast-lane' averaging 15-30 days, while Brussels can take up to the official 4-month maximum. As of 2026, all three regions require fully digital submission.
Processing: 15-30 days (Flanders fast-lane) to the official 4-month maximum (Brussels, high-volume periods)
