Belgio: cosa sapere prima di partire
L’essenziale
- Transport strikes can be announced at short notice; check your operator before travelling.
- Carry state-issued photo identification.
Ingresso e visti
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.
Validità del passaporto: Non-EU short-stay visitors: issued within the previous 10 years and valid at least 3 months after planned Schengen departure.
Alla frontiera possono chiedere
- Carry evidence of accommodation, onward travel and funds; allow time for external border checks.
