Discover visa requirements for your trip
Mongolian nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa for a tourist trip to Belgium. The standard fee is €90 for adults.
Mongolia is not on the Schengen visa-exemption list, so Mongolian travellers must obtain a visa before leaving for Belgium. The visa allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the whole Schengen area. Applications are lodged with the competent Belgian mission or its external service provider.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. For a tourist stay of under 90 days, Mongolian citizens must apply for a Schengen Type C visa before departure. Belgium must be your main destination (where you spend the most nights) or your first point of entry into the Schengen area. The visa is valid throughout the Schengen countries.
How and where to apply
Applicants resident in Mongolia apply to the Belgian embassy or consulate responsible for their region, or to the external visa centre (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact) appointed by Belgium. Because Belgium is not represented everywhere, it is often represented by another Schengen state; check the Immigration Office site (dofi.ibz.be) to see which post handles applications from residents of Mongolia. The appointment and biometric capture must be done in person.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure, the completed Schengen application form, a recent photo, travel insurance covering at least €30,000 in medical and repatriation costs, proof of accommodation, an itinerary with return tickets and evidence of sufficient funds. The visa fee is €90 for adults (reduced for children aged 6 to 12); the external provider charges an additional service fee.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days. Lodge your file no earlier than six months and no later than 15 days before departure. Request a validity slightly longer than your actual stay and keep a copy of every document. A complete, consistent file (dates, accommodation, finances) sharply reduces the risk of refusal.
Common mistakes
The most frequent mistakes are applying through the wrong Schengen country when Belgium is not the main destination, buying insufficient insurance (below €30,000), presenting a passport with too little validity, or booking non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted. Always check the current requirements on dofi.ibz.be before paying.
