Belgium Visa FAQ

Do US citizens need a visa for Belgium?

No. As a Schengen Area member, Belgium is visa-free for US citizens for up to 90 days within any 180-day period — this allowance is shared across all 29 Schengen countries combined, not per country. ETIAS (a €20 pre-travel authorization, not a visa) is not yet required as of September 2026; its launch has slipped to 2027.

Belgium Entry/Exit General Information

Belgium is a party to the Schengen Agreement. This means that U.S. citizens may enter Belgium for up to 90 days for tourist or business purposes without a visa. Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond the period of stay. We recommend that your passport be valid for at least six months whenever you travel abroad to avoid unintended travel disruptions. You need sufficient funds and a return airline ticket. For additional details about travel into and within Schengen countries, please see our Schengen fact sheet.
