Application for a Visa for a Long Stay in Belgium Form

I recommend you’re honest about where you’ll be staying.Plus Airbnb is often treated as a hotel booking. And because Airbnb is so popular many hosts are actually companies now. So, you should be fine providing your Airbnb confirmation with your visa application.But I do suggest you contact the embassy and ask them what documentation is needed to process your visa application if you’ll be staying at an Airbnb.Also, be sure to have travel insurance and trip protection in place. This will show the approving official that you’re covered just in case something unexpected happens during your trip.You can find top-rated affordable plans at G1G.com.Enjoy The Journey,Medical, Visitor, & Trip Protection - G1G.com

No, you don't always need to enter the Schengen area through the country that issued the visa.  The standing rule is that the application centre you will apply for a visa with depends ultimately on your main destination.  A main destination is where the main purpose of your trip will take place if you have many purposes; or the country where you will spend the most time in if you have the same purpose all throughout.  For example:If you are planning to go to a conference in France but decide to spend a day or two in Germany for a day tour, then you need to secure a visa from the French embassy.  This is because your main reason for coming to the Schengen area is to attend your conference in France.If however you are going on holiday all throughout, you decide to spend three days in France and four days in Germany, then you should go to the German embassy.  You can use the number of nights you will sleep in each country in case there is some ambiguity due to some days being used for travel between two countries.If the main destination can't be clearly be determined (for instance, you are going on holiday to both France and Germany and it is three nights each), then you must apply at the country that you intend to enter the Schengen area in.Now let me take this opportunity to clear one thing regarding the Schengen agreement.  It is primarily intended for EU/EEA/Swiss citizens to facilitate the principle of free movement they are entitled to, not for outsiders.  Hence you see random checks, other passport holders being referred to the country of their 'main destination', etc.That principle probably has implications for this next thing I am about to say.  Although you don't always have to enter through the Schengen country which issued the visa, you may need to 'register' with immigration authorities once you enter their country.  This is already accomplished if you either enter the Schengen area through the airports of the requesting country or you are staying at a hotel, in which case the hotel staff will take your passport details for you.  Otherwise, you will have to visit the nearest immigration office by yourself.

Choose a country you want to visit , and apply for a tourist visa. Pls note if you are on B1/B2 visa then you should apply from your home country and you should avoid applying from usa.

How much does it cost to apply for a visa? A 30-day visa costs $68, and a 96-hour visa costs $44.

The application fee for the most common nonimmigrant visa types is $160. This includes tourist, business, student and exchange visas. Most petition-based visas, such as work and religious visas, are $190. K visas cost $265 and the fee amount for E visas is $205.

Since May 2008, the fee for all types of German short-stay visas, known also as the Schengen visas, is 60 euro. Nevertheless, in many cases you do not have to pay for a visa or can get a visa at a reduced price, depending on your nationality or status.

There are certain exceptions to the standard fee of 60 euros for a C visa and 180 euro for a D visa. You can find all relevant information with this regard on the website of the Foreigner's Office . If an external service provider submits the application (VAC), a service fee must be paid to the Visa Application Center.

The processing time for a Belgian Schengen visa may take up to 15 days, in a normal situation.
