Hello,

as i am still waiting the WP so i am preparing the papers needed for the long stay visa and i have few questions:

- how much the visa fees? and what is the administrative fees? how we can pay those fees?
- who pay the administrative fees? the employer or the employee?
- how much the fees for the spouse? is it the same or different?

thanks a lot for your support.

You can get the answers by doing research in the officil websites. Like: https://jordan.diplomatie.belgium.be/en … sa-belgium https://dofi.ibz.be/sites/dvzoe/EN/news … ation.aspx

And, some employers reimburse visa administrative expenses, otherwise it is on the employee to bear this cost.

Visa fee can be paid to the consulate and the contribution to Belgium can be paid through your bank.

Visa fee is what you pay to the consulate (or VFS - if VFS is the agency that handles visa application on behalf of consulate) in your home country.

Contribution to Belgian foreign ministry (this is newly introduced) is something you pay directly to Belgium. Details are in the link in my previous message on this thread.
