Where can you go on a Belgium passport?

The Belgian passport provides EU/EEA free movement, Schengen short-stay access, and visa-free or eTA-only entry to the United States (ESTA), Canada (eTA), the UK, Japan, Australia (eVisitor), and most of Latin America and Asia. Belgian citizens are eligible for working-holiday schemes in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Japan, and for US E-1 / E-2 treaty-investor categories. Long-stay options outside the EU are dominated by employer-sponsored work permits, with Canada Express Entry and Australia Subclass 482 the most common.

About travel from Belgium

Visa requirements for Belgium passport holders vary by destination, purpose, and policies that change without notice. We pull from official government sources where possible — embassy and ministry-of-foreign-affairs pages — and surface the date we last verified each requirement, plus a direct link to the primary source on every answer.

For each destination, you'll find tourist, business, transit, work, study, partner/family and diplomatic visa routes (where applicable). Each shows the visa type, maximum stay, typical cost, processing time, and the official application URL.

Important: a valid visa permits entry subject to officer discretion at the border. Always verify with the destination's embassy or consulate before booking travel, accepting employment, or making relocation plans — particularly for long-stay routes (work, study, family) where the consequences of incorrect information are severe.
