Belgium Consulate to close for renovations

THE Consulate General of Belgium in Johannesburg will close in October to undergo major renovation works.

As a result, the visa department will be closed during this time. Applicants intending to travel to Belgium in October or early November are advised to apply for a visa as soon as possible.

Appointments can be made daily by calling 082 828 02 56 between 13h30 and 15h00 or by sending an e-mail to visa.johannesburg@diplobel.fed.be with your client’s surname, first name, date of birth, nationality, date of departure and telephone number.

During the renovation works, visa applications can be submitted to the Consulate General of Belgium in Cape Town. Applicants are invited to contact the Consulate through an e-mail addressed to capetown@diplobel.fed.be (website: www.diplomatie.be/Capetown ).

Visa applications by holders of diplomatic or official passports will still be processed by the Consulate General in Johannesburg.
