- Holders of diplomatic, service or official passports who require a visa to travel to Belgium, are welcome to submit their visa applications without a prior appointment from Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. However, whenever possible, applicants are encouraged to contact the Embassy in advance to arrange an appointment, allowing us to assist them under the best possible conditions and ensure the efficient processing of their application. This time slot is exclusively for holders of diplomatic, service or official passports. We kindly ask to respect the given time slot. If you arrive outside of the given time slot, the Embassy cannot assist you.
- Note that we can only assist 6 applicants per day between 08.30 and 09.00. Should the delegation be more, please email us for an appointment in order to accommodate you accordingly.
- An incomplete file can either lead to a refusal or a delay in the processing time of the visa application.
- For appointments, questions about the required documents, or any other questions, please send an email to: pretoria.visa@diplobel.fed.be.
