Current Travel Situation
Palestine to Belgium: What You Need to Know
Belgium is an EU and Schengen Area member. Belgium was among the first EU countries to officially recognize Palestine as a state in 2024, along with Ireland, Norway, and Spain. Despite this political recognition, Palestinian Authority passport holders are still required to obtain a Schengen visa under standard EU procedures.
How to Get There
A Belgian Schengen visa allows travel throughout the Schengen Area.
Money & Banking
Belgium uses the Euro (EUR). ATMs and cards are widely accepted. Cash is useful for markets and smaller establishments.
Practical Tips
Belgium's recognition of Palestine as a state in May 2024 reflects strong political support, but does not change the visa requirements for Palestinian passport holders in the short term. Apply well in advance and document your travel purpose and ties to Palestine clearly.
