French Embassy & Consulates in Belgium

At Rue Ducale, 65 19/07/2024, 1000 Bruxelles, Brussels, the French embassy represents France towards Belgium. The head of mission on record is Xavier François Jean Michel Lapeyre De Ca. Its phone number and website are on its page.

France also has a consulate general in Brussels and a consulate in Liège; consulates handle passports, civil registration and, for many countries, visa applications for their district.

France has 7 honorary consulates in Belgium, in Namur, Nalinnes, Mons, Liège, Kortrijk, Ghent and Antwerp; an honorary consul offers first help and passes documents on, but visas and passports are issued elsewhere.

As Belgium and France both belong to the European free movement area, Belgian citizens need only a valid ID card or passport for France.

In return, Belgium has 20 missions in France, including its embassy in Paris.
