Subsequent application: what is the procedure?

In the event of a subsequent application, the CGRS (CGRA/CGVS) examines whether there are new elements in your case. This is information that was not yet in your dossier - for example about events or changes in your country of origin - and that you did not have during the previous procedure.

  • The CGRS decides that there are no new elements in your case: your case is declared inadmissible.
  • The CGRS decides that there are new elements in your case: your case is declared admissible. The CGRS will examine your application and make a new decision.

You will only receive an orange card if the CGRS has declared your case admissible. This has consequences for your right to work.

Appealing against a decision of the CGRS

You can appeal against the inadmissibility decision of the CGRS, with the CALL. During the appeal, you cannot be removed from the territory.

If you appeal against an inadmissibility decision regarding a third application, you may be removed from the territory. After the decision you will immediately receive an order to leave the Belgian territory.
