Belgian Visa

Your residence permit is your visa now. In other words, your permit to stay in Belgium (and travel in schengen) is valid till 08/07/2017.

<quote>Originally applied for my visa stating that i would stay for 10 months, but they gave me one for only 6 months.</quote>
D type visa is to enter the country and register for long stay. After registration you get the residence permit. Once you have residence permit, that replaces your visa.

Do carry your national passport + Belgian residence permit when you travel.

Hello Aneesh,
I am moving to Belgium by end June. My wife and I have lived in US for last one year. We were to planning to obtain Belgian work visa from US but in view of all the apostille requirements we are intending to do it from India. I have already applied for FBI clearance.  I have also obtained my wife's birth certificate based on passport from Indian Consulate in Houston. Will that be accepted as a valid birth certificate? I asked the Belgian Consulate in Atlanta and they  told me that it will not be considered as a valid certificate though the Indian Consulate has clearly written that before 1969 birth certificate were not prepared in India.  What alternative document will be acceptable in lieu of birth certificate?
We also obtained PCC from Indian Consulate, will that be acceptable? Also all documents need apostille?

If you apply to Belgian consulate in India, I guess you may need a birth certificate that is issued in India.

I would guess PCC must be issued from India too.

PCC, birth certificate and marriage certificate must be appostiled.
