What exact status does accumulated residence lead to?

The source does not explicitly state the exact status that accumulated residence leads to for this route. The checklist is titled 'ARBEID IN LOONDIENST- FLEX NA 5 JAAR LEGAAL VERBLIJF' and includes a fee table for 'Vergunning tot verblijven voor ONBEPAALDE TIJD, ARTIKEL 7 A', suggesting the target may be a residence permit for an indefinite period under Article 7a LTU, but the document does not directly confirm this as the outcome of the five-year flex route.
