"name": "Do UAE residents need a visa for Belgium?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Yes, most UAE residents require a visa to travel to Belgium unless they hold a passport from a country that has a visa-free agreement with the Schengen Area. UAE nationals holding an Emirati passport do not need a visa for short stays up to 90 days within 180 days for tourism, family visits, or business purposes. However, expatriate residents of the UAE must apply for a short-stay Schengen Visa through the Belgian Embassy or an authorized visa application centre. This visa allows them entry not only to Belgium but also to other Schengen countries during their permitted stay."

These charges are non-refundable, even if the application is refused. Additional costs may include service fees charged by the visa application centre, along with expenses for travel insurance, medical certificates, and supporting documentation. Applicants should also budget for courier services or optional premium services if they choose them.
