Belgian embassies and consulates must submit certain visa applications to the Immigration Office of the Federal Public Service Home Affairs for a final decision. It is the only competent authority with regards to the admittance, stay, residence and removal of foreigners from Belgian territory.

The Immigration Office can inform you about the procedures or the status of a visa application. Their call centre is open from 9.30 AM to 12 PM and from 2 PM to 3 PM (on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday) and from 2 PM to 4 PM on Thursday via +32 2 488 88 00 and can also be reached by email: infodesk@ibz.fgov.be. Have your file number or the number of the administrative file (PSN + 7 digits) ready!

Using your file number, you can also check the status of your visa application on the Immigration Office website

Once a decision has been taken by the Immigration Office, the applicant will be informed about the status of the visa application by TLScontact.
