Required documents to be submitted under the following form:

A - All necessary Pakistani documents must be original, legalized by the competent Pakistani Authorities
and must be legalized later by the Embassy of Belgium in Islamabad. Applications for D visas containing
documents yet to be legalized will be sent to the Embassy together at the same time in a single file. A D
visa applicant will visit the VAC just twice - once to submit everything, and once to collect both their
processed visa application and legalized documents.

Information regarding previous legalization by the Belgian Embassy in Islamabad and about translations
into French is available here. Translation into French concerns only Pakistani documents. Diplomas
written entirely into English do not need to be translated. Translation advice: make sure, before getting
your translated documents attested by the Ministry of foreign Affairs, that there are no translation
errors in them. Any translation error might lead to the rejection of your file by the concerned
authorities.

B - All documents that constitute the file must be copied twice, before the legalization. In this way, the
original file must be presented with two accompanying files made of copies of each document.  
Photocopies should be made on normal paper (A4 size).

C - Read attentively the information below about the necessary documents to be provided before
submitting your file. All documents part of a visa application must be submitted at once. It is therefore
requested to send the visa application only once the file is complete, and once the necessary documents
have been translated into French by Alliance Françoise for the Pakistani documents. If the Consulate
needs to ask for additional documents before being able to take a decision or before sending your file to
the Immigration Office, you might not receive your visa on time.

D - Please do provide in your application form a phone number in Pakistan as well as a correct email
address of the applicant if available.

E - Do not wait until the last moment to submit your visa application. The processing time of the

kindly requested to wait until he or she is contacted by the Embassy for an interview.
