Contribution for visa long stay - D (redevance)

For certain visa requests, a fee must be paid in advance to the Immigration Office. Proof of payment must be provided together with other documents when the visa request is submitted.

A fee may also be payable in relation to a change of status after you have settled in Belgium.

The amount of this fee varies according to the reason for your stay: study (doctorate) (€207), research (post-doc or other) (€363), work (contract with work permit) (€363).

However, you may be exempt from paying this fee if you submit a form completed by the University of Namur.  This exemption applies to scholarship students and scholarship researchers. Contact the Researchers’ Helpdesk if you think you might be entitled to this exemption.

As with the whole visa application procedure, you should first of all contact the Belgian consular authority in your place of residence to find out exactly which documents you need to provide, as well as the amount of the fee due and payment methods.
