FAQ
For going to Belgium as a dependent, you will have to apply for the long sojourn or national visa (NV) of Type D (for visits that are longer than 90 days in duration).
Holders of Type D visas are allowed to freely circulate – for a period not beyond 90 days per 6 months and only if the visa is valid – in any of the Schengen countries other than the country issuing the visa.
Duration of stay – this is the maximum number of days that the visa holder can remain in the Schengen Area. The day that you enter the Schengen will be counted as “Day 1”, and the day that you leave Schengen will be your “Last Day”.
Do keep in mind that “Day 1” and “Last Day” will be counted on the basis of the date that you enter/exit on. Even if your entry/exit is somewhere around midnight, it will be calculated as per the date.
Visa Validity – This is the period of time during which you can make use of your visa for entering and staying in the Schengen Area.
In India, there are only 2 representatives of Belgium, issuing visas for their country –
- The Embassy of Belgium in New Delhi
- The Consulate General of Belgium in Mumbai
The Embassy and Consulate General of Belgium issues visas that give the applicants access to a total of 25 countries in the Schengen Area. Visa for Belgium and Schengen visa [common to all Schengen States] are issued at the same time.
