Extra documents for travelling
FOR TRAVELLING ABROAD from Belgium, extra documents may be required in these COVID-19 times:
- Identity card or international passport. Do not forget to check their validity. If you have dual nationality, it is best to bring the passport of your second nationality in case this is requested for the country of destination.
- A negative COVID-19 test certificate or quarantine (at your destination) is required for some countries. Check the measures for your destination in advance. You can have a COVID-19 test taken at Brussels Airport.
- Since 1 July 2021, for trips inside Europe, you will need the European ‘digital COVID certificate’ (digital or printed) to prove you have been vaccinated, received a negative PCR test result or have recovered from Covid-19. Please consult CovidSafe.be for more information and to obtain your Covidsafe certificate.
- Some destination countries also require a hotel reservation or proof of accommodation. If this is the case, you will be asked to present this when checking in here in Belgium. Always keep this reservation of proof of accommodation close at hand and also bring a printed copy, if possible.
- Documents required by the country of destination: check which travel restrictions apply, if any, and which conditions you have to meet in the country you are flying to.
- The Business Travel Abroad form for business travel is no longer required.
Be sure to check the specific measures for the country of destination here below. We also recommend that you bring a printed copy of these documents as much as possible. This will speed up the check-in process, and will often prove useful at your destination.
