Belgium Schengen Visa Overview
The Belgium Schengen Visa is a uniform short-stay (Type C) visa issued through the Belgium consulate that allows eligible travellers to enter Belgium and travel across all 29 Schengen countries, with a permitted stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen Area combined (the 90/180 rule), subject to the entries and dates granted and current Schengen entry rules. It is suitable for tourism, business and family visits, from Brussels to popular destinations such as Bruges, Antwerp and Ghent. You apply through Belgium when it is your main destination or your first point of entry into the Schengen Area. A Schengen visa requires an in-person appointment for document submission and biometrics at the consulate or visa centre. UgoVisa's service fee for the Belgium Schengen visa is AED 800. The Schengen consular visa fee and visa-centre service fees are separate and not included. Travel medical insurance is included in the service fee. Our Dubai-based team completes your application, verifies your documents and books your appointment, and supports UAE residents applying from Dubai and across the Emirates as well as other eligible applicants.
