There are two main types of visa:

• Short-term (tourist or business) or so-called C visa, and
• Long-term (student, family reunification or immigration) or so-called D visa.

Before applying for a visa, please read all of the information on visa carefully and make sure you have arranged all the necessary documents. Please note that you are expected to spend most of your time in Belgium if you want to apply for a Schengen visa at the Belgian Embassy. If you have a pledge of financial support, make sure your guarantor has enough financial means to make it valid, and that this private person also provides you with the documents that prove this (such as salary or bank statements
for instance). You may also be requested to supply other supporting documents.
