How will I receive my Belgium visa once it is approved?
Once your visa application is approved, the Belgium Visa Application Centre (VAC), where you applied, will notify you via email or SMS that your passport is ready for collection. The Belgium visa will be placed as a sticker inside your passport.
Here is a sample of the Belgium visa:
Note: Upon approval of the visa, you can collect your passport, containing the visa, from the VAC or have it delivered to your doorstep if you opt for a courier service.
What can I do if my Belgium visa application is rejected?
If your Belgium visa application has been rejected, you have the following two options:
Reapply for a new visa: You can reapply after addressing the rejection reasons provided in your visa rejection letter. Belgium visa applications are mostly rejected due to incomplete documentation, insufficient proof of financial means, unclear purpose of travel, or lack of ties to your home country. When reapplying, ensure that you address the applicable reason.
Appeal the rejection: Alternatively, you can appeal the decision within 30 days of receiving the rejection notice. To do so, gather any missing documents or information and write a compelling appeal letter explaining why your visa should be granted.

What are the alternate methods for Belgium visa status tracking?
In addition to using the Atlys tool, you can track your Belgium visa application status through SMS, provided the visa application centre where you applied provides that service.
Additionally, once a decision is made on your visa application, you will also receive an email notification informing you of the visa decision.
How long does it take to process a Belgium visa application?
After you submit the documents and biometrics at the visa application centre, your Belgium visa application is typically processed in 15 working days.
However, the application may take up to 45 days if forwarded to the Belgian Immigration Office, which usually happens when further examination is needed or additional security checks are required.
Note: If your application has been sent to the immigration office, you can track your visa status directly on the Belgium Immigration Office website or via [email protected].
