Getting a visa done is sometimes a stressful process, luckily for you we are here to help!
The Belgian visa process is a lengthy process and waiting for a verdict may take up to 2 months since the appointment was attended. Though lengthy it is fairly easy. Before you attend the appointment, a few things have to be done and a couple of documents have to be gathered first.
The visa process formally starts once you have confirmed the match with your host family. They will get documentation ready on their side and our Visa Experts will give you all the needed documentation. It may take up to 3 weeks to gather the documentation.
Once we have issued you with the correct and needed documentation you will be assisted with the online visa application. You will attend the visa appointment at the nearest visa center close to you.
It is important to note that you need to provide a police clearance and medical report in respects of the visa application. Background checks are not accepted and you will need to obtain a police clearance from the local authorities. The medical can only be conducted by certain doctors nominated by the Belgian Embassy. The doctor's consultation fee may be up to R2000.
The total visa costs for Belgium are between R3200-R3800 (depending on the exchange rate). Once your application and documentation has been handed in electronically, the wait for the verdict begins. In some cases, it takes two months to wait for the verdict. You will be sent email, notifying you that your visa has been granted.
Once the appointment has been attended there is a 2-4 week waiting period for the residence card to be issued. Arrangements can be made at the visa center to have your residence permit/passport couriered to you.
When you have received your residence permit/passport, we can formally start to book your flights and then you are ready for departure!
