Discover visa requirements for your trip
Uzbek citizens need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Belgium. The standard fee is €90 (adults) and processing usually takes 15 to 45 days.
For a tourist stay of up to 90 days in Belgium, Uzbek travellers must obtain a Schengen visa before departure. The application is lodged in the country of residence, at the Belgian consulate or its external service provider. Belgium must be the main destination or the first point of entry of the trip.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Uzbekistan does not have Schengen visa exemption: its nationals must obtain a Type C short-stay visa before travelling to Belgium. This visa allows up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen area. The passport must be valid for at least three months beyond the planned departure date.
How and where to apply
Uzbek travellers lodge their application at the Belgian consulate or its external provider (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact) responsible for Uzbekistan. Book an appointment, complete the Schengen form, provide biometrics and submit your file. If Belgium is not the main destination, apply instead at the consulate of the country where you will spend the most time.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport, a compliant photo, accommodation and return flight bookings, proof of means of subsistence and travel insurance covering at least €30,000. The visa fee is usually €90 for an adult (reduced rates for children), and the provider's service fee may apply on top. Confirm amounts on the official source.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; apply no earlier than six months before departure and no later than 15 days before. Check that your itinerary matches the main-destination rule, take out insurance before your appointment, and present clear financial evidence to support your application.
Common mistakes
Common mistakes: applying to Belgium when another Schengen country is the main destination, insurance below €30,000, a passport with insufficient validity, or an unconfirmed booking. Always confirm the fees, timelines and the correct service provider on the official source.
