How long does it take to get a Belgian visa?

It takes two months to approve a Belgian ordinary visa, and only three working days for a business visa.

The Belgian Immigration Bureau (or the Aliens Management Office of the Ministry of the Interior) is the only official institution that has the right to issue short-term and long-term residence visas. Applicants must submit complete application materials according to the requirements of the consulate, and the Belgian consulate will be responsible for submitting the materials to the above-mentioned institutions for approval, which usually takes 2 months.

The Belgian Embassy in China and the Consulate General in Shanghai began to simplify the procedures for issuing business visas to China. Belgian enterprises in China can get a visa to Belgium in three working days as long as they send an invitation and all the procedures are complete. The Belgian Embassy in China and the Consulate in Shanghai set up special windows to accept business visa applications at fixed times every week.
