Belgium Tourist Visa 

Belgium is part of the Schengen Zone and hence to travel to Belgium, you need to get a Schengen Visa.

Belgium Entry Requirements 

On your arrival at the Belgium airport, you have to present the following to the border officials:

• A valid Schengen Visa unless you are a citizen of a visa-exempt country
• Passport or any other valid travel document. The validity of your passport should be at least 3 months more than your intended stay in Belgium.

The border officials may also question you on your purpose of visit and duration of stay in Belgium.

 Whta Are The Documents Required ?

You will need to submit the below documents while applying for a Belgium Schengen Visa:

• Completed visa application form
• Photographs (as specified)
• Passport
• Copies of any previous visa, if applicable
• Language preference form. You may choose your application to be treated in English, German, Dutch or French.
• Schengen Travel Insurance with a minimum coverage of €30,000
• A cover letter explaining your purpose of visit and details of the trip
• Your flight itinerary specifying the dates of entry and exit from Belgium
• Proof of accommodation like hotel bookings or any other document that shows your place of stay in Belgium
• Birth certificate, marriage certificate, death certificate of spouse, divorce certificate (whatever is applicable)
• Proof of having sufficient funds.
• For those who are employed, you will need your offer letter, bank statements for the last 6 months and income tax documents
• For those who are self-employed, you would need your company license, company bank statements for 6 months and tax documents

Schengen Visa Fees

When applying for a Schengen visa there is a non-refundable mandatory visa fee every applicant must pay.

The Schengen visa costs vary depending on the type of visa and age of the applicant as well as some other exceptions stated below in the text. The Schengen visa fee can be paid in the designated consulate/embassy via cash, debit or credit card. However, some consulates may not allow you to pay by credit card.

* The applicable visa fee in USD (US Dollar) is as per the current exchange rate. It is subject to change without notice.

Despite of the fact that these fees are static and unchangeable until the Schengen members decide otherwise altogether, there are some categories exempt from paying this amount.

The visa fees may also be waived for participants aged 25 years or less in seminars, conferences, sports, cultural or educational events, organized by non-profit organizations. The decision will be made case by case according to the relevance of the event.

Again, in case the visa is denied there is no refund of the money paid.

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.
