Work Permit Situation

Hello All, I am a non EU National currently working in Poland on an EU Blue Card, decision issued Apr 22 and card issued in Jun 22. I have received an offer from Belgium and considering moving there. Could you guys help me with the below situation.


1) Since hold the Blue Card for 18 months (considering the worst case of Jun 22 - Dec 23), do I still require work permit and visa to move and start working in BE.


2) In the case I require a single permit, I heard this is a combined work and residence permit, how long will this process take for the decision to be issued.


3) I also heard work permit gets issued in a month or so. Just with this document can I apply for visa, move, start working and then wait for residence permit? You can find Visa D Work permit requirements for Polish residents here.
