Belgium visa for Angolan citizens

For the tourist visa, Belgium’s official sources give a standard fee of €90, and applications are made on visaonweb.diplomatie.be. Processing time, as Belgium states it: The consulate normally decides within 15 calendar days of a complete application; in individual cases this can be extended up to 45 days. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period across the Schengen area.

Belgium has 1 mission in Angola, with its embassy in Luanda.

In 2025, Belgium’s embassy and consulates in Angola (Luanda) received 2,165 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 827. The refusal rate was 56.7%. The refusal rate fell by 10.2 points from 66.8% in 2024, a clear improvement for applicants. Applications rose by 10% compared with 2024 (1,962).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 45.4% of the applications lodged in Angola that year, from 28.2% at the consulates of Italy to 75.4% at those of Hungary. Belgium’s consulates worldwide refused 26.1%. Belgium was the 4th most applied-for Schengen state in Angola.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Angola, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
