Student Visa Processing time
Hello,
I applied for Belgian long term student visa in 2nd week of December 2017. Initially, there was nothing until January 23 2018. At this time immigration office started processing my application. Now it's been more than 2 months and it's still in process.
So my question is normally how long does it take to process this kind of visa?
Thanks
Lucky
Look here the usful information (sorry only in Dutch or French):
https://dofi.ibz.be/sites/dvzoe/NL/Pages/Hoezithetmetmijnvisumaanvraag.aspx - you better get directly in contact with Foreigners Office here in Belgium (phone + 32 2 793 80 00) or mail (helpdesk.dvzoe@dofi.fgov.be). if the embassy does not provide clear answer.
Good luck,
D.
I totally understand your worries but from what I heard and know - opening Belgian national visa is not easy and you need to have patience, sometimes process indeed lasts months.
One thing you could do is to ask someone form the University to call the MIA and ask nicely that you need to start studies asap, this might help.
I applied for student visa on 3rd July, still no response. Have sent embassy emails but no reply. My classes start on 24 September 2018. How long can it further take? This Friday it will be 6 weeks.
I am from Pakistan.
Hello,
I am struggling the same process right now. What happened after 14 March 2018, did you get your visa? How many days does it take to get your visa. Thank you so much for your interest. Have a nice day!
