Normally annex 15 automatically given while you do an extension of your or your dependant resident card.

However if validity of card still available authority might be postpone it.

I recommend go to municipality this days with your  application form and ask an annex.

This happened to me but there is nothing to be worried , even my card totally expired and no annex issued (due to backlog) my next card was valid from the end date of previous card.

It happened to me as well: residence card was about to be expired and no annex 15 either. Called city hall, they said "The annex 15 will be issued only after your card expires". I asked " But that's a gap in between! What if I got a police check in between?" They almost laughed and told me " Nothing to worry about. The police will understand."

Maybe OP would try his/her chance with another medewerker one more time and explain with a calm and gentle way.

On one hand they are right because as soon as police enter your NRN to system  they can see that you are waitin for a new card. But on the other hand you are right because you should proove that you are legal. (Normally its annex 49 for you 15 for dependant) Some medewerkers  knows this rule and or some doesnt.

In my case i explained the lady gently why i need that paper and she asked from her superiors to issue one.

However this annex doesnt provide you travel flexibility in EU. Its just extension of your legal stay.

Can you give me more info about your situation?

Because my current Residence permit will expire on January 31 and I sent my application to renew it on November 12 but I haven't heard from them to get the appointment to get the new residence, and I am quite afraid that maybe my current one will expire without me still having the new RP or at least the Annexe 15.

Hi,

If you apply to your commune for an annex along with your current residence extension application form, an annex can be issued.

Normally, you should apply three months in advance, but due to end-of-year paperwork, processing might be slower.

In my case, I applied for an extension three months in advance but did not receive any feedback. My card was expiring on 01.01, and I remained without an annex.

I requested an annex at the municipality, but they were too busy to issue it. They told me not to worry, as my next card would start from 01.01.

Good luck

@maharaji1984

So by 01.01 when you residence will be expired you won't have an annexe or residence permit?

My card expires on 31.01 and I sent my application for the extension 2 and half months in advance but I haven't received any feedback, so I'm worried that maybe my card will be expired and I still don't get my new card or at least the annexe.

Hi

As i mentioned previously my reply : If you apply to your commune for an annex along with your current residence extension application form, an annex can be issued.

Sometimes workers are thinking new card could be issued during your remining residence card is valid. And no annex given.

If you are thinking or its close to expire you can ask an annex

Good luck

Hello,

I have a question regarding annexe 15 and card A renewal if you have any information to help me please.

I applied in October 2024 for an orientation year after I graduated in September 2014. I was given Annexe 15 in November and they extended it at the end of December. Do you know how many times the annexe 15 could be extended? and is there any bad chance that I won’t receive card A (available only for 1 year normally but now I only have 8 months or less left)? I am a job seeker now, I am looking for a job actively but still no positive results, do you have any advice for me? I am mostly interested in teaching (maths, languages) at schools or universities anywhere in Belgium.

Thank you in advance for reading and for your help!

Hello, My residence permit got expired and city hall provide me with the Annex 15 document. But for issuing the RP card, my files are forwarded to the Immigration office for the decision of residence. Is that normal ? and any idea how long with the Immigration officer will takes to provide his/her decision? Any site to track the status by ourselves ? TIA.

@User9495

Unfortunately, there are no fortune tellers on this forum who can guess under which procedure you applied for permanent residence, which country you are a citizen of, what type of residence card you had before, and why you waited until it expired.

Without it no one here can give you a proper answer.

@User9495

1st answer : Yes  normal , thats how procedure is .

2nd answer : Depend of their work load.There is no exact date. Estimated 3 months.

3rd answer: There is no website to track your application.

The only thing that i can tell : Wait untill municipality invitation .
