Overview
The Embassy of Belgium in Rome is Belgium's diplomatic mission to Italy, processing visa applications for Italian residents, providing consular services to Belgian nationals, and supporting the deep trade and institutional ties between two founding members of the European Union.
Visa Services
Belgium is part of the Schengen area. Italian citizens and all EU/EEA/Swiss citizens can enter with a valid ID card or passport, with no limit on length of stay. Citizens of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and many other countries can enter visa-free for tourist or business stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen area. Travellers needing a Schengen visa apply at this embassy, with a completed application form, photo, itinerary, accommodation booking, travel insurance covering at least 30,000 euros, and proof of financial means. Processing generally takes 10-15 calendar days.
Consular Services
The embassy provides passport and travel document services, civil registration, document attestation and legalization, and emergency consular assistance for Belgian nationals in Italy.
Trade & Export Support
Belgium and Italy, both founding members of the European Union, maintain substantial trade and institutional ties — Brussels hosts the EU's core institutions, drawing a large community of Italian officials and professionals, alongside deep intra-EU trade flows across chemicals, machinery, and food products. The embassy's economic section supports bilateral trade promotion and business matchmaking between Belgian and Italian companies.
