Overview
The Belgian Immigration Office is increasing their administrative fees when processing certain immigration applications, including D visas and residence permit applications. The cost of applying to reside in Belgium for longer than 3 months while carrying out professional activities has gone up to €366, and if you are applying as a family member this administration fee has gone up to €209. If you have a long-term residence status in another EU member state, the cost to apply to reside in Belgium for longer than 3 months will incur a fee of €63.
Looking Ahead
Individuals must provide proof of full contribution payment to cover the cost of their application when applying to a Belgian diplomatic mission, consular post, or municipal administration in their location of residence. The application will not be processed if proof of payment is not submitted.
