Travel Authorisation Belgium

Description

Travel between Switzerland and Belgium is straightforward, as both countries are part of the Schengen Zone. This means Swiss citizens can enter Belgium without a visa for stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. While movement is visa-free, travelers must still comply with Schengen entry rules, health requirements, and customs regulations. Our Travel Authorisation Belgium service ensures that Swiss travelers are well-prepared for their journey.

Entry documents:
Swiss citizens may enter Belgium with either a valid Swiss passport or a national ID card. However, carrying a passport is strongly recommended to avoid issues with airlines, hotels, or border authorities. The travel document should remain valid for at least three months beyond your planned stay.

Key requirements for entry may include:

• Proof of return or onward travel if requested

• Evidence of sufficient funds to support your stay

• Accommodation details such as hotel booking or invitation letter

• Travel insurance covering at least €30,000 for medical expenses and repatriation. Swiss citizens should carry proof of insurance, as it may be requested during checks

Health regulations:
COVID-19 rules in Europe have eased, but restrictions may be reintroduced at short notice. Always check the latest Belgian requirements close to your travel date. Vaccination or testing may be required depending on conditions.

Customs and Schengen rules:

• Duty-free allowances apply when returning to Switzerland or traveling through other EU states. Items above permitted limits must be declared

• Belgian stays count towards the overall 90/180-day Schengen allowance, so it is important to track your time if visiting multiple Schengen countries

• Border controls are normally absent, but random ID checks can still occur, especially at airports and major transport hubs

Longer stays:
If you plan to stay longer than 90 days, Swiss citizens must apply for the appropriate residence permit or work/study permit with Belgian authorities. These permits require additional documentation and longer processing times. Our service guides you in identifying the correct pathway for extended visits.

Belgium offers Swiss travelers historic cities such as Brussels, Bruges, and Ghent, along with cultural, culinary, and business opportunities. By choosing our Travel Authorisation Belgium service, you gain clear guidance on documentation, health and insurance requirements, and customs rules, with dedicated support available whenever you need it.
