Bélgica: qué saber antes del viaje
Lo esencial

Entrada y visados
Belgium follows Schengen short-stay rules: visa-exempt visitors share a 90-day allowance in any 180 days across the area. EES biometric registration takes place at external borders; it is not an online pre-arrival application. ETIAS is not operating; official diplomatic updates expect 2027, with no fixed launch date.
Validez del pasaporte: Non-EU short-stay visitors: issued within the previous 10 years and valid at least 3 months after planned Schengen departure.
En la frontera pueden pedir
- Carry evidence of accommodation, onward travel and funds; allow time for external border checks.
