Hi, I am from Philippines I applied for Visa for Marriage last September 23, 2022

I got an interview from Belgium Embassy in Manila: October 7, 2022

Sent my application to Belgium Home Office: October 10, 2022

I sent them an email about the status of my application: November 24, 2022 and infodesk replied

"We have received the visa application and it is currently being treated. As soon as a decision is taken it will be communicated by the diplomatic post which will invite the visa applicant and give the decision"

My fiance and I have received an email from his municipality last October 5, 2022 that the Immigration Department in Brussels has approved our proposed marriage

Anyone here can help how much longer should I wait for the visa?

Hi, i am in a similar situation, i have applied for marriage visa from india in end of july, I received the first email u shared. but we did not receive any approval email. I am still waiting for results. I checked on website for visa status. It startes showing after September. but it still says "in process"

I dont know how long we have to wait.

Let us know if u get visa

Thanks

Hi All,

I received an comments as below can anyone know what to do next.

applied : july 6

registered: july 13

decision date : dec 02

decision : Awaiting receipt of documents supporting the visa application sent by diplomatic pouch by the diplomatic/consular post.

extra info 1 : The visa file is processed only upon receipt of the relevant documents, even if the visa application has already been submitted electronically previously. The dispatch by diplomatic bag lasts on average one month. The processing time of the visa application then depends on the complexity of the file.

Tgey need more documents from you, You have to contact them or wait for their letter.

I had the same problem.

@siyam etemadi,

I have been asked to submit the below documents:

1) Rental contract - This is the certificate that we get from my rent?

2) Employment contract - Is this annex 46?

3) The correct  ' certificate for family reunification ' of the health insurance fund (proof of affiliation) - what is this one? i have already provided travel insurance at the time of application submitted and it was expired 28/11 , did they want a new travel insurance or other health insurance ( it will applicable once she arrived here?)

Can you please guide me.

1. Your actual rental contract + the confirmation of registration you get from myrent.be
2. No, the formal contract you signed with your employer.
3. An attestation from your Belgian mutuality that they will cover your spouse as she arrives here. (An undertaking from your employer may also work - not 100% sure though - that they will subscribe your dependant(s) to a Belgian mutuality once they arrive here).

Hi All

I have a query. Me and my husband will be applying for visa together. Mine is visa d for belgium and he will be coming on dependent visa. Is there a problem if he comes to belgium 1 month later than i go?

@komalsinghk2 No problem. He can travel during the validity period of his visa. However it wll be easier if you both initiate your registration process in Belgium at the same time (you can initiate it once month after your arrival - no issues).

our time line :

Applied: July 06

Registered : July 12

Additional documents requested : Dec 2

Documents submitted : Dec 12

Approved : Dec 12

Thank you all for the guidance,

Can anyone please tell me how many months my dependent visa will be valid ?

At the time i applied with my previous visa that will expire Dec 2022, While asking additional documents i have shared my latest documents which is valid upto Dec 2023

Will they provide with till Dec 2023?

@madhankumar 1026 may I know what was the additional document?

@Dinzy

Rental contract

Employment contract+ payslip

travel insurance for 120 days

My family reunion visa is APPROVED

My timeline.........

Applied on July 04

Registered on August 16

Additional documents on October 11

Submitted additional documents on Oct.20

I'm so happy and I pray those waiting will also get theirs approved in no distant time.

@Jane Ogadi Chikezie

Congrates, what about your visa status after it changed to additional dacumnts, the status didn't change till it approved?

@siyam etemadi  It didn't change until it was approved.
