Hi,

Recently my wife got admitted into a university in Belgium and got her student visa. Our plan was to go to Brussels from London through Eurostar. Is that fine? Or it has to be through a Belgian airport?

Thanks

Hi,

Where is she actually ?

In England ? In that case no problem

In Doha ? It is to choose the difficulty because with the stories of the Brexit ... She has the visa of entry for Belgium. Why want to enter another ...

She is in england at the moment, we will take the Eurostar on the day her student visa begins, my question is because I know it’s french authority on the on the passport side.

She'll stop at Bruxelles-midi station, so she will be checked by the immigration.
No problem at all.

Yeah I know it’s midi but I was asking last time because we were only checked in London.

Thanks Alex 🙏🏻

Incorrect, the Eurostar London to Brussels is checked in London by French police as op correctly states, no passport checks on arrival in Brussels for Eurostar passengers.

Ask question to Belgian issuing post not here.

Hi,

What is meant by: Ask question to Belgian issuing post?

Thanks

An issuing post is a consulate, embassy or subcontractor for visas.
