Requesting a visa

 

Boarding

Do I need special permission to stay in Belgium? How do I request a visa? How much does it cost ? Duration of the validity of the visa? What are the contact details of the Belgian Embassy and Consulate in your country? What are the contact details of your diplomatic representatives in Belgium?

In other words: everything you need to know about visas.

Warning:

  • BEFORE going to the Belgian Embassy or Consulate to request a visa, get hold of the list of specific documents required: an incomplete application can lead to your visa being refused or can make the process last longer, cost more and be more complicated than necessary.
  • If your visa is taking too long to be issued and your requests (supporting evidence) are not getting you anywhere, you can call the federal mediator. The federal mediator can't overturn decisions of the Office des Etrangers, but it may be able to help speed up applications with the Belgian administrations (Consulates, Embassies, Office des Etrangers, etc.)
