→ United Kingdom visa for Belgian citizens
Belgian citizens planning a visit to the United Kingdom will now need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before their journey. This new system, a key change post-Brexit, streamlines entry for tourist visits, allowing a generous maximum stay of 180 days. Unlike previous arrangements, securing this single tourist entry type is now a necessary step, whether you're taking a quick flight from Brussels to London or enjoying the convenience of the Eurostar train beneath the Channel. While the journey itself is brief, perhaps just over an hour by air, remember the UK operates on Pound Sterling, requiring currency conversion from Euros upon arrival.
