Belgium Cohabitation Visa

Hassle-free visa processing for your travel needs.

Overview

The Belgium Cohabitation Visa is designed for non-EU nationals who wish to cohabit with a Belgian citizen, an EU citizen, or a foreign national residing in Belgium for more than 90 days. The visa category depends on the applicant’s relationship with the person they are joining:

    • If the EU citizen has exercised their right of free movement, the applicant must apply for a Schengen Short-Stay (Type C) visa.
    • If the applicant is visa-exempt, the cohabitation process must be completed directly in Belgium at the local town hall.
  2. Cohabitation with a Belgian Citizen or a Non-EU Foreign National
    • For applicants intending to settle in Belgium for more than 90 days.
    • Requires proof of a stable, long-term relationshipand financial security.

Important Notice:

  • Two identical sets of documents (original + copies) must be submitted.
  • Foreign official documents must be legalized or apostilled unless exempted by treaty.
  • The Embassy may request additional documents.

Processing Time

Processing times depend on administrative verification. It is recommended to apply at least 8-12 weeks in advance to avoid delays.
