Who Needs a Belgium Schengen Visa?
Saudi nationals and many expatriate residents in Saudi Arabia need a Schengen visa to visit Belgium. Apply through Belgium when it is your main Schengen destination by nights stayed, or your first entry point if no main destination can be identified.
Fees, Timing & Funds
The EU short-stay Schengen fee is EUR 90 for adults and EUR 45 for children aged 6 to 11. Children under 6 are generally exempt, while VFS or service-centre fees are separate.
Standard processing is normally up to 15 calendar days and can extend to 45 days in complex cases. For financial evidence, use about EUR 50-100 per person per day as a planning benchmark while the consulate assesses the full profile.
