Discover visa requirements for your trip
Nationals of Myanmar (Burma) must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Belgium as tourists. It permits up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen area.
Myanmar is not on the Schengen visa-exempt list, so a Burmese traveller must apply before heading to Brussels, Antwerp or Bruges. The application is made with the competent Belgian mission or its outsourced visa partner. The details below are for guidance and should be confirmed against the official source.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Because Belgium is part of the Schengen area, a Burmese national must hold a Type C visa before arrival. It allows a stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Belgium must be your main destination or your first point of entry into the Schengen area.
Where and how to apply
Apply at the Belgian embassy or consulate competent for Myanmar, or its partner visa centre (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact). Book an appointment, attend in person for biometrics and submit a complete file. Final processing is handled by the Immigration Office (Office des étrangers).
Documents and fees
Bring a passport valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure with two blank pages, the application form, two recent photos, travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000, proof of accommodation (booking or sponsorship), a return ticket and evidence of funds. The fee is usually €90 for an adult; verify the amount on the official source.
Processing and tips
Processing normally takes 15 to 45 days. Apply no earlier than six months before travel and at least 15 days ahead. Do not book non-refundable tickets until the visa is granted.
Common mistakes
Applying when Belgium is not your main destination leads to refusal. Other frequent errors are inadequate insurance, unproven funds and late filing. Also check any health-related entry requirements.
