If you need a visa, we highly recommend starting this process as soon as you have received the necessary documents from Admissions (for Degree students) or International Office (for Exchange students)
Plan to be in Belgium at least two weeks before the start of the classes in order to attend Welcome Days.
It is important to refer to the Belgian Embassy or Belgian Consulate website in your home or neighbouring country. They will provide you with information about which documents are required to apply for a student visa. Please note that some embassies and consulates work with external agencies like VFS or TLS.
