With amazing security features and strong diplomatic access, the Belgian passport is more than a travel essential; it celebrates heritage and freedom. Whether you're hopping through Europe or backpacking through Asia, it opens doors and inspires discovery.

Ranked 4th globally in 2025, it offers visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 188 destinations, making it one of the most powerful passports on the planet. Issued by the FPS Foreign Affairs, it also guarantees EU citizenship rights, meaning Belgians can live, work, and roam freely across the EU, EEA, and Switzerland.

Beyond mobility, it’s got character, literally!

In 2022, Belgium launched a redesigned passport adorned with illustrations of iconic comic legends like Tintin, The Smurfs, and Lucky Luke. The passport nods to the country’s rich cultural legacy and adds a personal, whimsical touch to global journeys.
