Yes. Nepali nationals are subject to the visa requirement for entering the Schengen area. A Type C visa issued by Belgium allows a tourist stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period, provided Belgium is the main destination.
How and where to apply
Because Belgium may not have an embassy in Kathmandu, applications often go through an external provider (VFS Global) or the Belgian mission competent for the region; check the submission point on the official Belgian sites. An appointment and biometric enrolment are required. Allow time for possible travel if the centre covers several countries.
Documents and fees
Gather a valid passport, the signed form, a recent photo, travel insurance of at least €30,000, your accommodation and flight bookings, and proof of funds. The visa fee is €90 for an adult, excluding the provider's service charge. Confirm the amount and the document list with the Belgian Immigration Office.
Processing and tips
Allow 15 to 45 days; apply no earlier than six months and no later than fifteen days before departure. Proof of income and of ties to Nepal strengthens the file. Check any health requirements that apply to your itinerary.
Common mistakes
Do not apply to Belgium if another Schengen country is your main destination. Avoid unconfirmed bookings, inadequate insurance, or a passport with too little remaining validity. Do not buy final tickets before the visa is granted.
