Starting from June 15th, trips from Belgium to countries of the European Union, including the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway, are being permitted again. Whether it is also possible to enter another country depends on the permission of the country of destination. It is therefore very important to check the travel advice per country and to be well informed about the situation in the country of destination.
Non-essential travel outside the European Union will remain prohibited until further notice.

Travel restrictions to Belgium
In compliance with European Recommendation 9208/20, the Belgian government has taken specific measures on Wednesday, 1 July 2020, concerning the gradual reopening of its borders for travelers from Japan.
Travelers in possession of a valid stay permit (resident card) as well as travelers in possession of a valid D Visa, regardless of the type, are able to travel to Belgium. Nevertheless, holders of a valid visa are strongly advised to postpone any non-essential travel.
To find out more about the current temporary travel restrictions, as well as other categories of exemption, go to the website of the Immigration Office: Travel to Belgium and Visa: gradual recovery
To find out if you can apply for a visa, see our section "Visa for Belgium"
Currently, all countries outside the EU and the Schengen countries are designated as red zones. Travelers from Japan are therefore considered as coming from a red zone.
Every passenger on an Extra-Schengen flight to Belgium is obliged to complete this "Public Health Passenger Locator Form" prior to travel. On arrival in Belgium, the form must be handed over to the designated authorities at the border. This is a sanitary measure imposed by the Federal Public Service Health, Food Chain Safety, and Environment. Further information can be found on the form itself.
Upon arrival in Belgium, every passenger from a red zone is required to perform a screening test and to undergo a period of self-isolation.

Travel restrictions to Japan
