The Belgian process has several steps that often confuse Sri Lankan applicants. These are the areas where experienced consultants make the biggest difference.
Applying in New Delhi
Belgium has no visa department in Sri Lanka. Long stay student visas must be lodged in person at the VFS visa application centre in New Delhi, often followed by an interview at the embassy.
Proof of funds
You must prove €1,062 a month for the academic year through a blocked account or an Annex 32 guarantee from a sponsor.
Annex 32 sponsorship
A sponsor must show at least €3,235.88 net income a month for 2026 to 2027, and the guarantee must be accepted by the authorities.
Medical and police certificates
You need a medical certificate from a doctor approved by the Embassy of Belgium, and a police record extract if you are over 18.
