For international students, how long did it take for you to get your residence permit?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm an international student from Asia and moved to Leuven last month. Like most international students here, my student visa type D is only valid until December. I did the necessary steps for getting my residence permit and collected my Annex 15 last October 1.

Here's the problem-- my family wants me to fly home mid-December, but I'm worried that I won't get my residence permit in time. I understand that the police check takes a while, but it states in the Leuven website that getting an invitation to set an appointment for the residence card can take up to 2 months which cuts it pretty close to mid-December. I cannot leave the country with an expired visa and annex 15, I really need my residence permit/card from Leuven by then.

I'd like to know for anyone else that's gone through the same thing, what was the general timeline and how long did it take to get your residence permit?

Anyone with a 3D printer in Leuven?

Hello, as the title implies I'm wondering if there's anyone here in Leuven with a 3D printer that would be willing to print at max 4 small parts out of PETG or Nylon? I will be paying for this service of course :). If there's anyone please DM me!
