@Tachelle McCarthy the Belgian consulate asked me to select 180 days as the departure day, even though I plan to stay permanently. During those 180 days I will apply for residence and my long stay visa will hopefully be replaced with a resident card. I would confirm with the consulate or Belgian embassy where you are applying, but I suspect this is the case for all long stay visas.

If you fill in the form in paper format, just put N/A

If you do it online, you can nearly put any random date you want, nobody will care about it, it's just administrative issue that the field must be field (technically put 3-6 months / 1 year later)

it's a visa D, 99% are 1 year long, except in personnal case where you would come for 4-5-6 months only~


==> not important during the request of a visa D... they know your goal is not to come back home but to stay in Belgium...

Tip: What really matter is that you show them a 3 months schengen insurrance to travel in Belgium to cover your stay until you switch to the Belgian medial insurances..

It means that if you write your first entry in EU/Belgium will be dd/mm/yyyy, you must show the travel insurance from that date + 3 months.

@AlexFromBelgium  is it the same with adding spouse insurance? Mutualite i mean
