Mandatory form for Extra-Schengen air travel to Belgium 'Public Health Passenger Locator Form"

Every passenger on an Extra-Schengen flight to Belgium is obliged to complete the "Public Health Passenger Locator Form" prior to travel. On arrival in Belgium, the form must be handed over to the designated authorities at the border. This is a sanitary measure imposed by the Federal Public Service Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment. Further information can be found on the form itself.

The external borders of the Schengen area are closed for non-essential trips by third-country nationals. Currently and until further notice, visa applications are no longer received and no visas are issued.

As a precautionary measure against the rapid spread of COVID-19, non-essential travel of third country nationals to the EU is temporary restricted until 30 June 2020. After this date, the restrictions may be prolonged or modified. The travel restrictions apply to all non-essential travel to Belgium. Only travel for essential purposes can take place.

The travel restrictions do not apply to:

• Nationals of EU Member States and Schengen Member States, for the purposes of returning to their homes;
• Third-country nationals who are in possession a residence card (or D-visa) delivered by a Schengen Member State, for the purpose of returning to their homes;

Until further notice, the embassy does not accept any visa application and does not issue visas, except in exceptional cases (essential travel).
