Work in Belgium

Belgium is one of the Schengen countries that provide visas for Bangladeshi citizens. However, you cannot apply for a Belgian visa directly in Bangladesh. While there is an Honorary Consulate of Belgium in Bangladesh, it does not process visa applications for Bangladeshi nationals. To apply for a Belgian visa from Bangladesh, you must use other visa application centers.

The Swedish Visa Application Center in Bangladesh handles short-term visa applications for Belgium. For long-term visa applications, the Belgium Visa Application Center in India is responsible. Both submission methods require an in-person presence. Continue reading this article for more details on obtaining a Belgian visa for Bangladeshi citizens.
