Diplomats
Unfortunately the Embassy of Belgium in London is only equipped with an extremely small waiting room which severely restricts access to the Embassy. This is why access to the Embassy is strictly limited on appointment only to diplomats applying for visas in order to travel on official business (based on an official verbal note). Official journeys have to be confirmed with the traditional verbal note.

Diplomats and their families applying for Schengen visas for private travel are kindly invited to make use of our state of the art and comfortable (with a VIP section) Visa Application Centre in London. For private journeys of diplomats and their families (family visit/tourism), the handling fee is due even when travelling on a diplomatic passport.
