EU Family Reunification Type of VISA

Hanney Bustami

Hi :


I recently contacting Belgium Embassy in my home country Indonesia. I am asking what type of Visa I need in order i can join my Dutch Husband in Belgium for a long term stay. They gave me reply it is  visa visa C ,Directive 2004/038 ( Family reunion/marriage/legal cohabitation visa with a EU citizen residing in Belgium , visa directive 2004/38/EC ,both for short (-90d) and long (+90d) stay ). I was reconfirm with them again, as my understanding VISA C type is for Short stay , while I would like to stay more than 90 days. So , please adv, if anyone here who have EU spouse, and want to join him/ her in Belgium, what type of VISA did you apply ?.

@Hanney Bustami i think you need to apply family reunification visa which is longer than 90 days , go on the belgium embassy of indonesia and look for the requirement and then start from there

As you are already legally married (I assume the marriage is registered in Indonesia), as the previous comment states, the best is to apply for family reunion visa (type D or MVV as it is called in Netherlands).


Official website: ind.nl has all the info you need.

@Aneesh hi, we are married in Nederland. and i have not register our married in Indonesia , as after married, we have to wait for the Married certificate from the municipal which is came after i back to Jakarta, so I cant register / not able to get it register in In Indonesian Consulate in De Haag to get the register foreign married letter from them.

I check the website again, yes for my case, i am applying reunification Visa to join my EU citizen ( non Belgian Spouse ) spouse which is fall in VISA C ,visa Directive 2004/038.

i check the link for booking appointment visa, only Short Visa type have this purpose off visit.
