The documents listed above are merely the basic documents required in all cases. Additional documents may be requested by the embassy or consulate.

Official documents issued abroad must be legalized or bear an apostille, depending on the country whence they originated, unless a treaty provides for exemption from this process.

Foreign official documents which are written in another language than German, English, French or Dutch must then be translated by a translator recognized by the Embassy.

Processing of Visa Application

As a general rule, your visa application will be sent by the consulate to the Immigration Office, which will make the final decision.

If all of the appropriate documents have been submitted establishing your eligibility for the visa, the processing time is about 6 months from the date of submission.

If there complications with the application, the Immigration office may extend the processing time by three months two times for a total of an additional 6 months processing time (total processing time is 12 months).

Issuance of the visa

If the visa is issued, it will be a national long-stay visa (D visa) which has a validity of 6 months. After entry into Belgium, you need to present themselves at the municipal administration office where you will reside to apply for a residence card before the expiration of the 6 months.

If you fail to register before the expiration, you will have to refile a new petition.
