Discover visa requirements for your trip
Indonesian nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa before travelling to Belgium for tourism. The adult fee is around €90 and processing typically takes 15–45 days.
Belgium is part of the Schengen Area, so Indonesian travellers need a visa for a tourist stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. You apply from within Indonesia, with Belgium as your main destination. Confirm every detail with the official source before you file.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. An Indonesian passport does not carry Schengen visa exemption, so a Type C short-stay visa is required before entering Belgium. It covers tourist stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. When Belgium is your only or primary destination, the application falls to the Belgian authorities.
How & where to apply
In Indonesia, Schengen visa applications for Belgium are lodged with TLScontact in Jakarta, which receives files on behalf of the Belgian Embassy. Create your application, book an appointment online and attend in person for your biometrics (fingerprints and a photo). Belgium must be your main destination or your point of entry into the Schengen Area.
Documents & fees
Gather a valid passport, a recent compliant photo, a return flight booking, proof of accommodation (hotel or a formal sponsorship/undertaking), evidence of funds and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000 for medical costs and repatriation. The visa fee is normally €90 for an adult, excluding the provider's service charge. Verify the full checklist and exact amounts with the official source.
Processing time & practical tips
Allow 15–45 days for processing, so file early but no more than six months before departure. Appointment slots in Jakarta can be limited during Indonesian school holidays, so book as soon as possible. A clear, consistent file makes the decision faster and smoother.
Common mistakes / good to know
Many travellers apply to the wrong Schengen state: if you spend more nights outside Belgium, apply to the country concerned. Avoid any forged document, which leads to refusal and complicates future applications. Finally, check the official source for any entry requirements and buy your insurance before the appointment.
