Service
The agency that secures your student visa for Belgium.
The long-stay visa (provisional residence authorisation, type D) is the most technical step: a missing document or a badly anticipated deadline can delay everything. We secure it end to end, and we do not stop at the decision: we support you through to your first classes, even if it is late for the start of the academic year.

What you need to know
To study in Belgium for more than 90 days, a non-EU student must obtain a provisional residence authorisation (type D visa) from the Belgian consular post, before departure. The file rests on an admission to a recognised institution, proof of sufficient means of subsistence (an official monthly amount, indexed every year) and a complete administrative file. For studies, the law sets a 90-day decision deadline from the acknowledgement of receipt of a complete application; it is regularly exceeded in peak season.
The key elements of your application
- An admission to a recognised Belgian institution (enrolment or pre-enrolment certificate)
- Proof of sufficient means of subsistence: personal resources or a sponsor's commitment (annex 32)
- A complete administrative file: passport, criminal-record extract, medical certificate, photos
- Legalisation and translation of documents depending on your country of origin
What you get with Studacy.
- A file checked document by documentEvery document is reviewed and formatted to the consular post's requirements, to avoid rejections and form-related refusals.
- Appointment and interview preparedWe arrange your appointment at the application centre and rehearse the interview with you: you arrive prepared, with a clear, consistent story about your study plans.
- Follow-up through to the decisionOnce your application is lodged, we follow it and step in if the decision is late.
- Standing up for your year if the decision is lateIf it has not come by the start of the academic year, we stay in touch with your institution: enrolment completed remotely, access to your student account and, where the institution agrees, a late-arrival authorisation.
- A single point of contact through to your first classesThe same team follows you from the file to your first classes. If the visa is refused, we move on to an appeal within the deadlines, as part of our dedicated service.
