Travelling in Belgium: do I need an ETIAS?

Travelers from outside the European Union will need to obtain an ETIAS authorization to enter Belgium, whether for tourism, a family visit or simple transit.

ETIAS: mandatory for Belgium

Brussels, capital of Belgium and home to the European institutions, will apply the new European regulations, as will all Schengen countries. ETIAS will become compulsory for short stays (up to 90 days) for nationals of ETIAS-eligible countries.

Stopover or holiday: ETIAS is all you need

Are you passing through Brussels airport or staying for a few days? All you need is an ETIAS authorization. You won’t need a Schengen visa. The document is electronic, so there’s no need to print out the ETIAS authorization.
