EC Required in Belgium for HSMP

Post by nerellg » Thu Jan 10, 2008 9:27 am

Hi,

I have filled an HSMP application from India and got the approval on it in December 2007.

Now I have to file an application for EC, but my current employer is sending me to Belgium for 6 Months and I will be traveling to Belgium to in Feb 2008. So, I wanted to process my EC for me and for my wife in Belgium.

Now my Question is will I able to file an EC in Belgium in March 2008 with the HSMP approval letter, which it has been sent to my Indian Address?

I request you to kindly provide the appropriate guidance on this.

Please find my below mentioned personal details
Applicant's date of birth (yyyy-mm-dd): 13-AUG-1980
Applicant's nationality: INDIA
Regards

I just applied this morning to EC and got the visa afternoon...

you have to have residence permit here to be able to apply EC in Belgium.
I just gave photocopies of supporting documents that i used in hsmp application.

To me , the guy in the embassy looked like he didnt care much about the documents. I guess it is reallly easy to get EC in Belgium compared to India . Probably there is no verification process. All you need to show is the approval letter.

cheers

I have got HSMP work permit from India.
Now my company wants me to go to onsite at the end of this month.
Owing to client issues I can't say no.

In such a situation what should I do... coz I'll come from Onsite in May...

Pls help...

I think the most important thing is the residence permit and Bank statements in a local bank.

if you dont have them, there might be problem on getting the visa.

I am working and living in Belgium and i dont have any connection with any other company in any other country. Maybe that is why i got the visa easily.
