Dear Friend,



I have recently applied for Family reunion visa for my wife & daughter. After we submit their paperwork to VFS for processing, we have been told the same thing. Our was 181 eur per person (beside the 180eur visa fee per person) to be paid in Brussels to the bank account of Office des Etrangers.. You can find the details of the payment in below link.


So this is usual process and fees thay you must pay for Family Reunion visa. I hope this info helps.

Regards

Thank you very much for your reply and clarification.
Do you have any idea about the processing time after this step.
Hope yours and ours have a prompt and fast process.

@CageMan this process fee we were told is only for members 18yrs old and above. Kids are not required to pay.

Usually it takes 3 to 4 months i have been told. Including police check (place they will stay. In this case my 2br apartment). But... I do know a Belgian gentleman who is retired from Immigration. He helped and shortened my process. He said he will help my family as well.. Ofcourse with a little cash gratitude.. :)))

@Adeyola

Thank you for clarifying that Adeyola... My daughter is 19 years old, so I have paid for both of them.

@AlexFromBelgiumÌý Hi Alex,

Pls concerning the fee to be paid at home office Brussels. I’m a spouse to a Belgian, He’s working and earning enough. Do I need to pay the fee of €181 when applying for my visa.
AlexFromBelgium
Yes, only children bellow 18 years old and stateless people are free of charge/fee.
Everybody else ==> you pay

Hello all,



I am applying for the D-Visa under the research category for Belgium. We are also applying for my spouse and baby, which will be D-visa under family reunification. I am a Turkish citizen and we apply all at the same time (although application forms are separate). On the webpage it says:



"One fee must be paid per application and per person. By way of derogation, if an application is lodged by a family, this family pays only one fee if the partners are married or legal cohabitants and the application is lodged jointly and on the same legal basis for all family members."


So should we pay 126 euros or 126+181euros or 126+181+181euros?



It is confusing to me because of the same legal basis for all family members' statements. Our category will be different thus should we pay both amounts?
