The decision whether an applicant is to be considered a VIP or not, rests entirely in the hands of the concerned Belgian mission.

• in English.

The applicant must present proof of full payment of the fee at the time of application. If this evidence is not presented, the application is not admissible and it is not processed.

For more information on the documents to submit with your visa application, please click on the type of visa you need in the list below. This list replaces the English language pages of the website of the FPS Home Affairs Immigration Office, which is under construction. We thank you for your understanding.

According to the type of long stay visa (D visa) you require, you might have to present a medical certificate you can obtain via one of the doctors certified by the Embassy of Belgium. See below point 5 for details.

Official documents issued by public authorities (marriage, birth, and death certificates, or diplomas, police clearance certificates and affidavits) have to be legalized before the submission in a visa file. Click here for all details on legalizations.

If those documents are not directly written in English, they have to be translated by a sworn translator in one of the Belgian national language. Click here for all details on translations. 

Short-stay visa (90 days maximum)

Attention: guarantees for return (assessment of migration risk): the applicant is requested to provide as much information as possible to document his/her family background, professional and socio-economic status, ownership of land or real estate (for instance: proof of family bonds with his/her country of origin, proof of regular income and stable source of revenues from the applicant and/or his/her partner, proof of property, etc.)

This information is essential to correctly judge the intention of the applicant to leave the Schengen area before the expiry of his/her visa.

Since May 2020, a harmonized list of supporting documents is imposed on persons who are subject to visa (C) requirement and are residing in India. This list is the result of an Implementing Decision of the European Commission.

The overseas travel medical insurance required for short stay visa (C visa) and valid for all Schengen-countries has to cover the applicant for at least 30000 Euros or equivalent, for all risks e.g. accident, illness, medical emergency evacuation, repatriation of mortals remains etc. The policy has to clearly specify the period of validity and has to cover the entire duration of the trip, including the date of arrival & departure. Please click on the following link for the approved list of insurance companies in India.

Please note that the travel insurance had to be duly signed by the applicant before submitting it with the visa application.

Biometrics – Visa Information System (VIS)

All Schengen visa applicants over the age of 12 must present themselves in person for the registration of the ten fingerprints and their photo. This data will be kept for 59 months in the VIS. If you have had your fingerprints registered within the previous 59 months when applying for a Schengen visa, you are not required to have them re-registered. But if you doubt that you have registered them in the previous 59 months, it is recommended that you submit your visa application in person. Please note that in case your fingerprints are not present in the VIS database, you will be asked to present yourself again for registration. The fingerprint registration process, which takes only a few minutes, allows you to be identified with certainty as the sole holder of the visa. It protects you from identity forgery or misuse (e.g. if your passport is stolen) and optimises border crossings. More detailed information can be found on the European Union website and the VFS website.

Long-stay visa (more than 90 days)

NEW PROCEDURE WORK PERMIT: Since 01/01/2019 the double procedure of an application for a work permit and for a residence permit has been replaced by a single procedure for a unique permit.
