visa application status

If you have filled the Schengen Visa Application form through https://visaonweb.diplomatie.be/ , you can log-in again and check "My applications".

There you can find your application number: "BEL01100000000000xxxxx" which are the last numbers after all the leading "0".
If you can't find it, or didn't used visaonweb, you can send a mail to the embassy and they'll provide it to you.



Then, you can go on https://infovisa.ibz.be/  (only in French or Dutch, through google translate will help you)
You'll need to select the city where you've applied (embassy's one / capital city) and insert your application number.

Good luck!

Hi Alex. Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it.

i am having the same problem here
i entered the code but its still not working can u elaborate more please

Just follow the steps Alex mentioned.

If it doesn't work then it means either your details have not been registered on dofi, just be patient and try again in about one week. In my case I followed the steps Alex already elaborated but never got anything out until my passport was sent to back to me with my visa D. Just be patient. I was too busy to be checking dofi, I checked twice and when I didn't get any info I didn't check anymore.

Best 👍 wishes

I applied for my visa d student private university in mid june 2023. In mid july i got an email that my application has been sent to immigration office. I have tried to track my application via io and nothing shows. I have called them they keep saying they are handling public and highschool. Does anyone has an idea how long this can take or what i can expect?

My uni starts in sept which worries me if the IO will deny my visa because school has started.

thank you in advance

If you can't manage to find it yourself, contact the embassy to know your visa application number.

But basically, files send to Belgium about student visa is never a good sign......... often related to few money support.......

Hi..  whenever we call the IO it keeps saying busy and disconnects the call. The follow up visa section is also not showing any update. Will the status be loaded for all the visa applications?

immigration will take 3-4 week to upload your file from the time sent to them , after that you will be able to check it on https://infovisa.ibz.beReference - https://dofi.ibz.be/en/themes/faq/visa/ … on-process

My student visa application has been sent to the Immigration since 9th August and whenever I track it online I don't get any info. How do I know that it's being processed. The embassy in Hanoi kept it for 3 weeks before informing that they have transferred to Immigration due to some reason.

Eric am in the same shoe with you . My interview date was 22 July and I was sent a mail on the 23rd that my application has been sent to The FPS for decision. And now my school resumes in 11 days time. When I track it it will show no result found. What do we do ?

@Marvis Injury im even confuse, nothing shows on the website
