Travel Restrictions in Belgium due to Covid-19

Belgium Travel Restrictions

Last Updated on: 17th May 2021

The Government of Belgium has issued certain travel restrictions in light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Passengers looking for the latest information on Belgium travel restrictions can refer to this page and plan their journey from the country of their residence to Belgium. While wearing a mask, maintaining required physical distance, and proof of negative Covid-19 test are some of the mandatory aspects passengers need to remember while traveling to Belgium, this page will discuss all the special travel restrictions imposed by the state in detail. We recommend that you check on a regular basis and also refer to the official website of the country you wish to travel to as rules on travel ban are rapidly changing.

** European Union countries have decided to open their borders to select non-EU countries which would include people from Britain as well as vaccinated Americans. It should be noted that the opening of EU countries might not be universal as countries can individually ask for a negative COVID-19 test or can impose a period of quarantine on arrival. A new list of eligible counties will be prepared and released either this week or early next week. **
