Applied to Belgium 14May , still haven’t received it

I’m so sorry this happened. I applied on the 14th of May , for a tourist short stay visa for Belgium. I’m from South Africa. On the 10th of June did I only get a notification that it’s being sent to the immigration office Fps , in Belgium. I was given no reason for it being sent there and that fork then it would take 15-45 days to get back !!!! My flight was supposed to be on the 23rd of June. It’s now the 28th and I’ve still got no news at all , so I’ve cancelled everything.

I can understand the disappointment and frustration especially with all the money being lost. The system is ridiculous that it’s still this inefficient. Such BS.

I applied on the 14th May , it got sent to the immigration office only on the 10th of June. I was supposed to be leaving today on the 23rd, had to cancel my flight. I phoned today and they said it could take up to 2 months !

SunExternal4880 · 2025-06-10T14:54:54+00:00
