Visa for Belgium from Morocco: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes. The Moroccan passport is not exempt from Schengen requirements: a Type C short-stay visa is mandatory for tourist stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Belgium must be your main destination (where you spend the most nights) for your file to be handled by its consular service rather than by another Schengen state.

Prepare: a passport valid at least 3 months beyond your planned departure, the signed application form, a compliant photo, a return flight reservation, proof of accommodation (hotel booking or a sponsorship/invitation letter), travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000, and proof of sufficient funds. The adult visa fee is generally €90, confirm the current amount on the official source before paying.

From Morocco, applications go through the service provider TLScontact, which collects files on behalf of Belgium, typically in Casablanca, Rabat or Tangier. You complete the form, book an appointment, give your biometrics and submit the file. The final decision belongs to the Belgian consulate; the provider only handles logistics.

• Your application goes to the state that is your main destination. If Belgium is where you spend the longest, it handles the file, whatever the entry point.
• With no main destination, the competent state is the one you enter first.
• If Belgium has no consulate in Morocco, another Schengen state may act on its behalf under a representation arrangement, or the file goes to the post accredited for your country.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Morocco, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Morocco but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; aim to apply 3 to 4 weeks before departure (applications are accepted up to 6 months ahead). A complete file, bank statements consistent with the trip and a clear invitation letter lower the risk of refusal. Keep a full copy of everything you submit.

Frequent errors by Moroccan applicants: applying to Belgium when the real main destination is another Schengen country, buying insurance below the €30,000 floor, failing to evidence ties that show you will return to Morocco, or booking non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted. Also check the passport has at least two blank pages.
