Types of Belgium Visas

Short‑stay visa (Schengen Visa / Type C) — for visits up to 90 days (tourism, business, family visit etc.).

Long‑stay / National Visa (Type D) — for stays longer than 90 days (study, work, family reunification etc.).

Determine visa type
Short‑stay (tourist/business) vs long‑stay (student/work etc.). Decide based on your purpose and duration of stay.

Check your jurisdiction
Depending on where you live (city/state), you’ll need to apply via a particular VFS centre / Belgium consulate.

Use Visa‑on‑web portal for Belgium. Create an account, complete the form, get the confirmation form

Typical requirements include: valid passport, photos, travel itinerary, proof of accommodation, travel insurance, financial proof (bank statements/salary slips), employment or student status proof etc. Additional documents depending on visa type.

Once form is done and documents ready, book a slot at the nearest VFS centre. You’ll submit your application + biometrics there.

Submit printed and signed application, all required documents, passport, photos. Biometric (fingerprints & photo) will be captured. Pay the visa fee and the VFS service charge

Tips / Common Pitfalls

Apply well in advance; delays do happen.

Make sure all documents are complete & consistent. Missing documents are a common reason for rejection or delay.

Accurate itinerary, proof of ties to India (job, property, family) help.

Biometric appointments must be in person.

Keep copies of everything.
