Type A — Airport Transit Visa (Type A)

The Type A visa is Belgium's airport transit authorization for travelers passing through the international transit zone of a Belgian airport without entering the Schengen area. It is a short-stay document for nationals of specific countries identified by the Belgian government as requiring transit authorization.

The visa is non-renewable and valid for the duration of transit through the airport's international zone only. No work authorization is permitted. The standard fee is €90, and processing typically takes 15 to 45 days. Applications are submitted via VisaOnWeb.

This visa is ideal for travelers from designated high-risk countries making brief connections through a Belgian airport before proceeding to their final destination.
