Travel Info pakistani citizon married to belgium resident Travel Tips 1. If you are married to a Belgian citizen or a national of a country in the European Economic Area (EEA) who resides in Belgium Documents required When applying for a visa, you need to present the following documents in person at the embassy or consulate responsible for your place of residence: 1. A travel document (e.g. national passport) valid for at least 12 months, in which a visa can be affixed. 2. Two visa application forms duly completed, signed and accompanied by two recent passport photos bearing a true likeness to the applicant. 3. An official copy of your marriage certificate. 4. An official copy of the divorce ruling, divorce certificate or death certificate for your previous spouse if you had been married before. 5. A copy of the Belgian identity card, confirmation of registration (attestation d'immatriculation/attest van immatriculatie) or residence permit of your spouse residing in Belgium who is a Belgian citizen or an EEA national. If your spouse does not already reside in Belgium, you must also provide proof of their intention to settle there (e.g. employment or rental contract). 2. If you are married to an individual who is not a national of a country in the European Economic Area (EEA) Documents required You must submit the aforementioned documents. If you are at least 18 years old, you must also submit an extract from your judicial record dating from no more than six months and covering the previous five years. If your spouse resides in Belgium and is not an EEA national, they must be authorised to stay in Belgium for longer than three months and be in possession of either an identity card for foreign nationals or proof that they have been entered into the register of foreign nationals. Unlike EEA nationals, confirmation of registration (attestation d'immatriculation/attest van immatriculatie) is not sufficient. Restrictions - If your spouse was already authorised to stay in Belgium for longer than three months to participate in a family reunification with a non-EEA national, in principle you can no longer qualify for a family reunification visa. - If another member of your family, for example a child, has already obtained a family reunification visa, you must exercise your right to family reunification before the end of the following calendar year. If you come from Algeria, Bosnia, Morocco, Turkey, Tunisia, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro or the Republic of Macedonia, the above two restrictions do not apply, since bilateral agreements have been signed with these countries. This exemption applies on condition that your spouse has worked for at least three months (1 month for Turkish citizens) in Belgium, either as an employee or on a self-employed basis, and has an income as such or a replacement income, e.g. receives unemployment benefit (NB: an integration income (revenu d驴int茅gration/leefloon) received from a public social assistance centre (CPAS/OCMW) does not count). The documents listed above are merely the basic documents required in all cases. Additional documents may be requested by the embassy or consulate. Official documents issued abroad must be legalised or bear an apostille, depending on the country whence they originated, unless a treaty provides for exemption from this process (link to the Legalisation webpage). Documents issued abroad in a language other than Dutch, English, French or German must be translated by a sworn translator. 3. PROCESSING THE APPLICATION You will have to submit to the Belgian embassy or consulate copies of any original documents submitted. The original documents will be returned to you. Once the submitted documents have been verified and the application is complete, in certain cases the embassy or consulate will send it to the Immigration Service at the Federal Public Service Home Affairs in Belgium, which will then decide whether or not to issue a visa (Chauss茅e d驴Anvers 59 B, B-1000 Brussels, Belgium; tel. +32 (0) 2 206 15 99, fax +32 02/274.66.91, e-mail helpdesk.dvzoe@dofi.fgov.be). Within eight days of your arrival in Belgium, you must go in person to the municipal authority in your place of residence. If your nationality precludes any (short-stay) visa requirement, you may apply either for a family reunification visa at the embassy or consulate responsible for your place of residence abroad or for a residence permit from the municipal authority in your place of residence in Belgium by submitting the aforementioned documents.
