Important information:
• The visa application file must be complete at the time of submission.

• All information is available on the Belgian Embassy of Kigali’s website and on the website of the Belgian
Immigration Office. For that matter the Belgian authorities in charge of the examination of visa applications
consider that the submission of an incomplete visa application means that the person asking for the visa is
not taking the application seriously or that the person is incapable of submitting the necessary documents.
• Being in possession of a visa does not necessarily guarantee a right of entry. When you arrive at external
border controls of the Schengen territory, the authorities verify if you are still respecting the conditions of
entry. If not the case, you risk being sent back and the annulment of your visa.
• Apply for your visa in the 90th and 15th days preceding the intended date of your travel. If you have a
multiple entry visa, you can apply for a new visa before your current one expires.
