Immigration Visa Consultants For Belgium

There are so many queries we get about Belgium these days, so If you're planning to immigrate to Belgium, you must need to find out if you require a Belgium visa or any permit for visit, live, work or study purpose in Belgium.

In any case from India you must need to apply for a visa or permit if you want to visit, live, work or study in Belgium. For a short-stay Schengen or C visa allows you to stay in the Schengen area which also include Belgium. But not work – for up to a maximum 3 Months in any 180-day period. If you have a Schengen visa issued by another Schengen state you can also come and stay in Belgium, provided you have not yet exceeded the 3 Months allowance in any part of the Schengen area.

Anyone can come to Belgium on following visa types:

Tourist visa
Medical Visa
Investor Visa: to take part in business conferences or other professional reasons
Sponsored Visa: for a cultural or sporting event
Student Visa: or a short training or study course.

Applying For A Schengen Visa

You must apply for this visa no earlier than three months before your proposed journey through the Belgian embassy in your home country. You will need to complete an application form in either French, Dutch, German or English and be able to provide a valid passport/national travel ID issued in the last 10 years and with at least three months left to run, a recent photo and other supporting documents.

These can include:

Documents relating to the purpose of your trip, for example, a travel/holiday itinerary, letter of invitation to stay with a relative, invitation to a business conference or fair, confirmation of attendance on a training course.
Confirmation of accommodation in Belgium, for example, a hotel reservation or letter from a private individual with whom you’ll be staying.
Proof that you can support yourself financially during your stay for example, recent bank statements or pay slips.
Proof that you’ll be returning to your home country, for example, evidence that you have a job back home or own property there – or a return ticket in your name.
valid travel health insurance with minimum cover of EUR 30,000.

The visa takes the form of a sticker in your passport/travel ID. When you arrive in Belgium you have three days to register your arrival at the municipal administration offices. They will give you a document specifying when you have to leave Belgium.
