An administrative fee has to be paid in Belgium before submitting your visa application. Please consult the website of the Immigration Office for an overview of the administrative fee.
Procedure regarding fingerprints
Fingerprints will be collected for all visa applications (short stay (type C) and long stay (type D)). This concerns all applicants from the age of 12 (C visa) or 6 (D visa). Applicants will have to come in person to the Visa Application Center of VFS/Gerry’s International for the collection of their fingerprints.
Exceptions are foreseen for the following applicants:
- Persons for whom the collection of fingerprints is physically impossible (e.g. because of a physical impairment).
- Diplomatic and consular personnel accredited to an Embassy or Consulate of their country in Belgium, as well as their family members, in possession of a diplomatic or official passport.
