By providing minimal details, you can check the status of your Belgium visa application using the Atlys tool from anywhere, anytime, in just 2 minutes! 

Note: You can use the Atlys Belgium visa status tracker even if you have applied directly at the visa application centre or through other channels. 

How to track Belgium visa status online from India?

Step 2: Click ‘Check Status,’ and one of the following results will be displayed on the screen.

  • Approved: Your Belgium visa has been approved.

  • In process: Your Belgium visa application is still being processed.

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.

Worried about another visa rejection? Apply through Atlys and let our visa concierge guide you through the Belgium visa application process, increasing the chances of visa approval!
