What do you have to do for a renewal application ?
Type B and fix-termi single permits can be extended if
- the employment contract is extended
- the worker is on a permanent contract.
You must then apply for a renewal. The worker must still have the right to reside in Belgium
Please note: Some jobs are time limited : trainee (1 year), specialist technician (6 months), seasonal worker (5 months).
After several renewals and under certain conditions, the worker can obtain an unlimited work permit. The worker submits this request.
When should the application for the renewal be made?
You must apply for a renewal :
- At most 2 months and at least 1 month before the current type B permit expires.
- At most 4 months and at least 2 months before the current fix-term single permit expires.
