Do I need a visa for Belgium from Sudan?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes. Sudanese nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to travel to Belgium.
Belgium belongs to the Schengen area and does not grant visa-free entry to Sudanese travellers. A Sudanese passport holder wishing to visit Brussels, Bruges or Antwerp must obtain a visa before departure. The official requirements prevail.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Sudan is not on the Schengen visa-exemption list. For tourism of up to 90 days within any 180-day period, a Type C Schengen visa issued by Belgium is mandatory. Belgium must be your main destination.
How and where to apply
Sudanese applicants lodge their file with the competent Belgian mission or its external partner (VFS Global or TLScontact, depending on the country of residence). The Immigration Office (dofi.ibz.be) and the Belgian diplomatic portal set out the procedure and the biometrics appointment.
Documents and fees
Bring a valid passport, compliant photos, hotel and return-flight bookings, proof of funds and travel medical insurance of at least €30,000. The visa fee is usually €90 for an adult; confirm the exact amount on the official source. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be requested.
Processing and tips
Processing normally takes 15 to 45 days; apply no earlier than six months and no later than 15 days before departure. A complete file, with funds and ties to Sudan, lowers the risk of refusal.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not file with Belgium if another Schengen country is your main destination. Do not skip insurance or timing margin, and avoid non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted.
