Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a visa for Belgium, or can I go visa-free?
Turkish citizens with an ordinary (burgundy) passport need a Schengen visa for Belgium; visa-free entry isn't possible. Holders of special (green), service (grey) and diplomatic (black) passports, however, can enter without a visa and stay up to 90 days.
How do I get a Belgian Schengen visa?
You apply by appointment through the Belgian consulate in Turkey or its authorized application centre. Bring the documents that match your trip, passport, travel health insurance, accommodation and round-trip details, and proof of income. Since processing and appointment times shift with demand, check the current requirements on the official application page (diplomatie.belgium.be) before you start.
What does the 90/180 rule actually mean?
Within any rolling 180-day period you may spend at most 90 days in the Schengen area. The count looks back over the previous six months, and every day you spend in any Schengen country, not just Belgium, goes into that total.
Which passports get into Belgium visa-free?
Turkish citizens with special (green), service (grey) or diplomatic (black) passports can enter Belgium without a visa and stay up to 90 days. The visa requirement applies only to ordinary burgundy passport holders.
