Belgium Visa Application Requirements

The Western European country of Belgium, officially known as the Kingdom of Belgium, is home to 11,420,163 residents. Its capital, Brussels, is among the largest and the most densely populated Belgian cities.
Different parts of today’s Belgium have been ruled by the Dutch, Spanish, French, Austrian, which have left behind a rich history and architecture. The country is distinguished by its canals, cobbled streets and medieval buildings.

Some of the favourite tourism attractions in Europe are located in Belgium, as the spectacularly beautiful medieval city of Antwerp, the Archaeological Museum of Arlon, the Flemish béguinages, the fairytale-like the ancient city of Bruges crisscrossed by canals, and much more.

In 1995, the government of Belgium signed the Schengen Agreement, thus joining the European border free area.  Today, short-stay entry to Belgium also enables one to travel to the rest of the Schengen member states as well, which includes a great share of Europe.

In 2018 alone, the Belgian embassies and consulates around the world received 219,827 short-stay visa applications.

Belgium Entry Requirements

If you reach Belgium through the air, upon arrival at the Belgian airport you will have to present some travel and identification documents to the Belgian border officer. These documents are as follows:

• A valid passport or travel document. Valid for at least three more months beyond the date you plan to leave Belgium (and the Schengen Zone), issued within the last 10 years.*
• A visa – if you are subject to Belgian visa regime.

*British passport holders are exempt from the criteria of passport validity and issuance date.

You may also be asked for other supporting documents such as an invitation letter from a Belgian host, proof of lodging or a round-trip ticket. For more information in this regard, contact the local consular services of Belgium in your home country.

These documents will be checked by the Belgian border official, who may ask you a few questions about your trip to Belgium like:

• What is your purpose of visiting Belgium?
• How long do you intend to stay in Belgium?
• Where are you going to stay in Belgium? Etc.

Upon checking your documents, the Belgian border officer will give the final decision whether you should be permitted to enter Belgium or not. If everything looks okay, you will be allowed to enter Belgium, and thus the Schengen Area.

Please, make sure that the Belgian border officer gives you an entry stamp in your passport when you enter the Schengen area. Without a stamp, you could be fined or detained from Belgium.
