Hi, I'm currently in the middle of getting my single permit. While I wait for that to come through, my work has told me to start preparing for whenever I eventually go to the Belgian consulate (I'm currently based in France) and get my formal visa stamped in my passport.

As part of that, I'm currently filling out my online visa application form and came to the section on travel information. It's asking for the duration of my stay and my last day of departure, but that makes no sense as I'm moving to Belgium to work and will therefore be there indefinitely.

What am I supposed to put here? Has anyone else had a similar issue? It's an obligatory question so I have to answer it.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I would want to seek advice from all of you. I have an Estonia Tourist visa in process through the Belgian consulate in my native country (Nigeria). I've read several stories on here about people's experiences with the long wait and their visa applications being forwarded to the foreigners office, as it is currently happening to me(25days today of Application submission). But my query is; my intended date of arrival in the EU area is in 7 days, but I just received the email of Application transfer to Foreigners Office, which I am sure will take more than a week for their Decision, but the difficulty here is;

My intended date of arrival to the EU territory is in 7days, but I just received the email of Application transfer to Foreigners Office, which I am sure will take more than a week for their decision, but the problem here is that I have paid hotel reservations and sightseeing tickets for the intended date, which should start in 7days time, and I have a grace period to cancel and refund if my travel date changes, but I will not be able for refund again from the first day of the intended arrival. SHOULD I CANCEL THE ITINERARY? Will it have no effect on my decision?

Please What Step should i take ? I will so much appreciate your advice and respond, Thanks in advance
